Episode Notes

Screenwriter Herschel Weingrod joins the boys to talk about growing up cheering for the then-Milwaukee Braves, how being a baseball fan helped shape 1985's "Brewster's Millions" from a Bill Murray vehicle to starring Richard Pryor, hanging out on the set during the baseball scenes, whether or not we could see another version of the fil, being brought in to write "Space Jam" and handpicking the basketball players that would end up being The Monstars.

This week's podcast was brought to you by  Teambrown Apparel, Old Fort Baseball Co and Patrick's Custom Painting.
