Summary

Coming to you from the Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, Iowa, Chuck Garfien speaks with actor Dwier Brown who played Kevin Costner’s father in the Field of Dreams movie. He talks about the making of the film with inside stories about the famous scene with him and Costner, and why grown men stop him on the street asking, “Want to have a catch?” Then, Chuck speaks with Adnan Virk of MLB Network and host of The Cinephile podcast about the movie’s impact, if Tom Hanks had played the lead role instead of Costner, what baseball player he’d want to see walk out of the cornfield and come back to life, why we can dream about a White Sox World Series and more.
