Episode 266: Episode 266 - Eephus, Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), Cobb (1994)

On the two hundred and sixty-sixth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are throwing curveballs.Christian, Jericho, and Armando go into extra innings with reviews of the new melancholic baseball hangout movie EEPHUS, and then pair it with two older films, 1973's BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY starring a young Robert De Niro in full southern drawl, and the 1994 biopic COBB, featuring a scenery-chewing Tommy Lee Jones as the divisive center fielder. They also discuss Armando's take on SINNERS, sad sack middle-aged desperation, New England autumnal vibes, how weird of a game baseball is, getting "eaten out" by domineering coaches, and what happens when an actor goes beyond "Up To Something."Subscribe to Jericho's Substack: symbioticreviews.substack.comKeep in touch with us on Instagram and email us anytime at: [email protected]
