Hello, Sarah Marshall.

Hello, Alex Deed.

Welcome listeners to You Are Good, which is a feelings podcast about movies.

We're watching a league of their own with our friend Jade.

This is a super fun episode.

Oh, yeah.

This is our summer fun season that we're having now.

School's out for summer. School's out forever. Like I think that what we do really well is we

talk about, you know, we don't talk about movies necessarily critically. We talk about them

through the lens of people who are exploring feelings. I think we do that pretty well. That's

kind of what we're looking out to do. But I like this episode

because we talk in a number of different ways about people's motivations. And when I talk about and try

to recognize other people's motivations, I understand myself a lot better. And I found it after

listening to this episode to get ready for this introduction, I think that that's a thing that

stands out in a big way. We talk about everyone's motivations. And it's really lovely. And it's super fun to do that with you and Jade in this case. I really loved it. Yeah. And I think Jade is such a wonderful guest. You know, her love of the movie and her perceptiveness about human beings are such wonderful attributes. And she also solves a mystery, I believe. So get excited for that.

Wait, what is? Oh, yeah, she does solve a mystery. She knows about baseball hands.

A thing came up when we were getting ready to record this introduction because Carolyn, who produces

the show, puts together a audio collage at the beginning of each episode. And she came across a thing I was trying to keep out of this. I was trying to keep out of this episode. And she shared it in a group text to us. And I was like, Sarah, don't watch this. Don't watch this for your mental health. Oh, boy. But you haven't watched it either. So what if it's like... I haven't.

Well, but you've heard it described, I guess. So tell me about that. So here's what we're talking about.

And I heard this talked about in Unspooled, another great movie podcast, where they had talked about

this thing that I didn't know about where there was a cut scene, a kissing scene between Gina Davis and Tom Hanks. In this episode of Unspooled about a league of their own, Amy Nicholson and Paul Shearer talk extensively about this part that was cut in which Tom Hanks and Gina Davis kiss. And I didn't know that was even on the table. I didn't even know that that was cut. That was in the movie. I didn't know that it was cut. Yeah. This is the first I've heard of this. Yeah. She felt very strongly about him having to experience it and about and about how wrong it made the movie feel to her. And she felt so strongly about how wrong it felt that I was like, I will never experience this. I can't let if Sarah wants to, she can experience it, but I'm going to tell her, probably not, because I love this movie. I don't want it tainted by them crossing this line. What if I watch it with headphones on and you watch me experiencing it like Grizzly Man? I love that. That would probably be too distressing. No, I would do that. Okay. If you want to do that, okay. All right, let me find it. And I'll be like Werner Herzog, like, you cannot watch this. It's too powerful. No, I'm Werner Herzog. You're right. You're right. Okay. All right. I'm watching it. I imagine it happens after they've taken the bus together and they've talked about the war. Yeah. And about his former wives and so on. Okay. She comes out to the baseball diamond and he's doing batting practice. Okay. You look wrapped. With a robotic throwing apparatus, which is new technology, I assume, back now. Oh, wow. Yeah, that must have been cool. It was probably developed for killing Nazis somehow. So she's watching him do his batting practice all by himself. She says, you look great. Oh, okay. Looks like he could still go. And he's like, ah, ha, ha, nah. Toddy has a nice blouse on. Like, I've never seen her wear anything this fancy at any other part of the movie that I can think of. He's talking about being in the zone as a batter. This is how I felt for watching most of Saw. This is like, when's it going to happen? Oh, no. Yeah.

Oh, this is interesting.
