How We Seeez It! Moneyball (2011) “How can you not be romantic about baseball?” – Billy Beane For our September throwback movie, we are heading back 15 years to 2011 for Moneyball. Brad Pitt stars as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who, faced with one of the smallest payrolls in baseball, challenges conventional thinking and tries to build a winning team by finding value where everyone else has overlooked it. But Moneyball is not necessarily just a baseball movie. It is about questioning accepted wisdom, solving problems, and finding a different way to compete. Pitt and Jonah Hill give understated performances that help turn baseball statistics, trade calls, and front-office strategy into compelling drama.

How We Seeez It! Episode 344: Big Trouble in Little China (1986) “When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks if you’ve paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: ‘Have ya paid your dues, Jack?’ ‘Yessir, the check is in the mail.’” — Jack Burton John Carpenter’s urban fantasy action-adventure turns 40 this year. Starring Kurt Russell and set in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Big Trouble in Little China was released in 1986 without the fanfare it deserved. It wasn’t the hit it should have been, but it found a devoted audience during the home-video era and eventually became a cult classic. Not only is it incredibly rewatchable, but repeated viewings may be required to fully understand its greatness. Join us as we discuss the movie, its wonderfully strange world, and why Jack Burton may not be quite the hero he thinks he is. As always, mix a drink, have a listen, and let us know what you think.
