It's called The Film Room with David Cohn. It's a pretty awesome show, actually. |
| 0:54.4 | You can check it out over at DailyWire on the regular, but here on the feed, we're releasing an episode that I just did with David talking about favorite sports movies of all time. We do Field of Dreams and My Personal Favorite, 61, which if you've never seen a great movie, here's what that episode sounds like. |
| 0:57.0 | Field of Dreams is a shockingly left-leaning film in terms of its politics. There's a scene |
| 1:01.9 | in which Kevin Costner's wife, she gets up at a school board meeting and she starts yelling |
| 1:05.7 | at everybody that they're basically Nazis and this is what the Nazis would do. But what |
| 1:09.4 | the film does unconsciously is something |
| 1:12.2 | pretty conservative, which is it says that the values of the past are in many ways better than the |
| 1:16.1 | values of the present. |
| 1:25.6 | Welcome to the film room where we discuss the movies we love. |
| 1:28.8 | I am David Cohn and I am joined today by a legendary man. |

| 1:46.0 | Technically, yes, he is my boss, but mostly a friend. And that is Mr. Ben Shapiro. Thank you for joining me and welcome into the film room. Hey, thank you so much for having me. It's very cool. Yes. Well, look, it's September. World Series right around the corner, we all know you're a diehard baseball fan. Can you just talk a |
| 2:01.1 | little bit about your love for the game and how that started? I mean, I think that all diehard baseball fans start with their dad. I mean, pretty much all great baseball movies, as we'll talk about, are about parenting and relationships, more than they are about the sport itself. My dad was a diehard White Sox fan. His dad was a diehard white Sox fan. And so I inherited that growing up in L.A. |
| 2:20.3 | So I've literally never been to a baseball game where I've rooted for the home team. We have never lived in a city where the home team was my team. So I grew up in L.A. rooting for the Celtics and basketball. Because my parents, I picked all my dad's allegiance to the Celtics and basketball because he'd been in college in Boston and the Blackhawks in hockey and then of course the white socks in baseball, which is a horrible story and filled with prevail and pain. We had one good year, legitimately like one good year in the last hundred or so. And my dad and I actually wrote a book about it. We went like game by game to the entire season, 162 game season, |
