Todd: Okay, this is gonna be an awkward fit for a Madonna film retrospective.
Scenes from A League of Their Own play out
Todd (VO): I have to cover it because it's the best Madonna film but, Madonna doesn't have a lot presence in it, and also, everyone's seen it. Everyone's seen it like multiple times, and loves it, and quotes from it and remembers all the scenes. You know, they're girls that play baseball and that, one girl slides in her skirt and tears up her leg, and, Jon Lovitz, and then (simultaneously with Jimmy) "There's no crying in baseball"...
Jimmy Dugan: ...no crying in baseball! There's no crying in baseball!
Todd (VO): ...theres the other one who can hit, and then Tom Hanks takes a piss for two straight minutes.
(Exact scene plays out)
Todd (VO): You know it. And if you don't, Jesus, did you not, did you not have TVS growing up? They used to play it, pretty much every day. Actually has this movie faded? I don't know I'm getting old. Before your Legally Blonde or your Mean Girls, this was, like the chick flick that everyone knew even if you weren't a chick. So, reviewing it is kind of like Star Wars, 'cause everyone's so familiar with it.
Todd: But is it actually any good?
