MPM: Ep. 188 - Congratulations! You Did Fine!

The Sandlot | Major League - Hello everyone! Welcome to our last summer edition of Motion Picture Meltdown! We finish out the summer months by going through a couple movies about America's favorite summer past-time, baseball! This episode, Dehart, Phil, Cheats and myself take on a couple of classic baseball flicks by roasting through Major League as well as The Sandlot. In this episode, we figure out that Dehart's favorite thing to do outside as a kid was be The Predator, we turn The Sandlot into a David Fincher movie, and we can't figure out why everyone is so happy at the end of Major League. Enjoy!
