feature presentation. All right, mister Davis, I think there's only really one
true way we can start off this podcast, and it's with one question.
I have to ask you this. Are you a hero or a legend?
Oh? Here is get remembered that legends last forever is our own. Legends
never die, Legends never die. I can only respond to that with you're
killing me. Dan. We are, of course here to review a film
that I hold very near and dear to my heart, a film that I
loved as a child. Released in nineteen ninety three. It is coming of
age film that you don't necessarily see as many people talking about these days,
and honestly, at the time weren't really talking about at all. It's almost
like a film that kids felt that it was their film that adults didn't really
know about. It was in Australia known as The Sandlot Kids, and I
understand it's the Sandlot but here it's the Sandlot Kids, and I'm very excited
to get into it. This is, of course, mister Davis, is
first time ever seeing this film. The way we're gonna be doing the movie
Guys now is each month I'm going to pick a film, and then Guy's
going to pick a film. So The Sandlot Kids, mister Davis, give
me your first impressions of this film. Obviously, this film is targeted at
eight to fourteen year olds. Primarily, put yourself in the mind of an
eight to fourteen year old. What did you think of this film? Well,
I got the film if I was an eight to fourteen year old,
and by the way, before I begin I was of the impression that we
should have flipped this around, because you know, the movie Guys up until
now has generally started with Dan and saying God tell us about there's your thoughts
and recollections of this movie. I watched this movie for the first time like
maybe two or three days ago, even though it came out nearly thirty years
ago. That's right, now, nearly thirty years ago. Well, well,
yeah, that's correct. Yeah, we're in oh my god, we're
in the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty three. So I was gonna
use your impression, but I'll give you my quick take on it and what
I sort of knew about it thirty years ago when I was in my early
twenties. You know, I'm trying to be a cool dude. It's like,
well, I don't really have time to watch some you know, sch
multi American movie about a bunch of kids playing playing baseball. I gotta go
out and get drunk and take party drugs at the Nut Club. Well you
were twenty four when this was released, right at the start of nineteen ninety
three. I would have been sixty nine year one, right, that's correct.
Yes, so you've been twenty three, yeah, twenty three, yeah,
yeah, yeah. So yeah. Look, I knew about it,
and there were certain aspects of it that interest me. I mean, I
like a good coming of a story as much as the next person. And
I'm like, oh, well, this is apparently based on writer director David
Mickey Evans's own recollections of his childhood and you know, as a as a
baseball fan, and you know, non too talented baseball player, so that's
that's not too bad. I also knew about Evans, and sorry, I'm
going to be a bit nerdy here, but he was quite hot in Hollywood.
He had written a script called Radio Flyer. I don't know if you've
ever seen that movie. It's got uncredited performance by Tom Hanks, young Elijah
Woods in it. It's again it's another coming of age story with a bit
more of a fantasy element. And I remember reading that script had sold for
like one point two million bucks or something, and you know, this was
a guy who was relatively unknown. It's like living the dream. And then
heard about this And it also had had by man Dennis Leary in it,
who was a huge, huge fan of in the in the early nineties.
Bill from this film Bill, Yeah, yeah, our Scotty Smalls. Smalls
a stepfather. Yeah, all aspects of them that could be interesting. But
at the same time, I think this is for a younger audience, not
really for me. I wasn't reviewing full on at that stage, so I
don't think I went to see it to review it, so, yeah,
I this was the first time that I caught it was just a few days
ago, so I knew about But my interest in it wasn't that that intense,
So I'd be more interested in hearing about how it came, how you
came to it. So the sound like Kids for me wasn't a film that
I have any recollection of being at the movies. I never went to the
movies to see this film. I'm assuming you got to the actual release in
Australia. Do you remember it being at the movies? Was it was it
promote like was it a movie that people were talking about or was it just
sort of as one of those kids films. I think it was regarded as
a kids film. Yeah, and you know, of course Baseball wasn't necessarily
that huge in Australia. That's it it had. Yeah, it had enough
of a crowd pleasing and kid pleasing elament, I think because you know the
baseball aspect aside it's you know, kids hanging out and getting in the high
jinks. You know a bit of a nostalgia aspect to it as well,
given that it takes place in nineteen sixty two. Oh yeah, people love
the sixties. People love the sixties, so yeah, not necessarily a huge
it, but I no, I do recall that it did play in cinemas
here, So for me, I remember this being a film. This is
one of those films where I had to call these with the ones where you
know, you took a chance at the video shop. You know, they
saw the videos and Mum said, you're five weeks for ten bucks, go
pick five movies, right, and you'd spend the next two hours perusing through
the shelves because he had five movies you can choose from, but you took
for every like it's very important I choose the five. It would be a
good combination. You can't all be family movies. Is going to one action
in there that's not two action because m went't allow you. No one wrestling,
one, one animated one. Good A good festival of film rights.
That's really smart, Dan, that's great. I remember just being like,
you know, you look at the sound like kids, and I was like
this, I actually know what No fuck, it's just come back to me
right now. I remember the moment video easy Kario being there and Mom saying
this one looks good like the Sandlot kids. I remember being like not impressed.
Could mum would be like that, She'd be like, how about you
get this one? This one looks good. I'm like, man, how
was your mum? Mud Simpson and your cup? But I also imagine,
I mean, how old were you at this stage? I reckon I first
saw this film about ninety four, ninety five, okay, would have been
six six ish? Okay, then, so you're not that old that having
kids in the title is automatically a turn off, because I mean, I
think once you maybe hit around eleven or twelve or something. It's like the
Sandler Kids, Spy Kids. I'm not a kid, so you know,
how can I relate to this? But I don't know if you If you're
that age, then I can maybe see how you might be interested. But
I can also see how seeing her kids maybe not. Yeah, And I
just remember a mom because like your parents, your mom suggesting a movie to
you at the video store, and you've been given an option of five.
It's like getting fucking socks for Christmas when you're a kid. But I remember,
I've only got five choices here, don't be cutting off one of my
fingers. I've got five choices until next week. It's very important, Mum,
So I would you know? I went home and bore was this film
and I remember like being halfway through thinking this might be the greatest film I've
ever seen in my life. It just felt like a film that was made
what starred kids, right. There weren't many adults in the film, which
I think was important as well. You had his mum and his stepdad with
any other adults in the film besides mister Myrtle at the end, not really,
but she was not really an adult. She was, but I'm wondering
how much older she was than the Sundlock kids because the sound kids are meant
to be what they're meant to be, like twelve thirteen, perhaps i'd say
that, yeah, tweens, Yeah, at least you'd say at least early
teens. You'd eything, I guess. But Benny the Jets probably about thirteen
or fourteen, and he looks the oldest out of the good doesn't he does?
Yeah, And we get to Benny in a moment, but it just
almost it was made by kids, four kids. But the soundtrack as well.
I remember loving the music, but it just felt like these kids were
experiencing and going through things that despite the fact that it was in the sixties,
I think just coming of age films, there's something timeless about them,
where it doesn't matter what era of they're set in. The stuff that kids
go through in those films, it's just something that you just go through in
life, and it's very it's very relatable. And I remember he's finding this
film so relatable and I loved it, and I remember saying to Mum,
this is great. My Mum's like I told you about, Like, hey
man, it's all coming back to me now. And then I do remember
though, really enjoying it so much and saying to Mum, can we borrowed
again, and the guy at the shop saying, no, you can't.
Someone else has already requested it, right, So then it was close to
close to my birthday. I've got it for my birthday one year. It
must been not ninety five, ninety four Mum bought out. And you know
this is before the streaming. So when you when you were able to get
a video as a kid, it was like the greatest thing in the world.
You can watch at home whenever you wanted to. That was like a
privilege being able to watch this film and I was sort of became known as
the kid that had The Sundlo Kids on video, and like friends would come
over to watch the movie, and it just it just became a film where
it's just like none of us really talked about it at school, but then
your friend would come over and go, I am at that movie. It's
like it's like we share a bondit for something else. We loved this movie.
So I've always just had that connection with this film. It was just
like a movie that it never disappointed me. I always enjoyed it. Plus
it was a movie I could put on with my mum and dad, and
my dad particularly enjoyed it as well. And my dad and I didn't really
like the same stuff all that often, but he loved The Soundlock Kids.
So I knew if Dad was at home, I could put the Sundlock Kids
on and you sit down and watch it with me. So I sort of
had that kind as well. So The Sound Like Kids was a movie that
we all enjoyed, but it was never really talked about all that often,
Like it was never a movie you saw promoted on posters or no one at
school was talking about the Sound Like Kids. No one was quoting the sound
like kids except four You're killing me Small. That became a thing. Well,
I can understand why it holds such a you know, a warm place
in your heart given all that you know, I mean, it's it sounds
like a very reliable movie and one that's very uniting. You know, your
mum recommends it and turns out you like it. Your dad enjoys as well.
You can watch it together. Your friends are into it. But you
know it's but it's not necessary. But it's also like a little bit of
a secret. That's the thing it was. It was a film that was
like, no one else knows about this movie. I've found this movie and
it's the greatest movie ever. Yeah. But if someone said, you know,
if someone drops a line at some stage it's like you're killing me small
and that, Yeah, rewind you've made a new buddy. Do you have
a film that not necessarily many people talk about or no of, no of,
But it's not talked about all that often, but someone's quoted it,
and you've gone you and I are going to be best friends going forward.
Oh yeah, look, well let me tell a story into but because there's
something similar that my my very good friend JP and I we really love the
movie Wall Streets. Yeah yeah, not Wolf of Wall Street, but Wall
Street with Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen. And for some reason, you know,
we ended up with a copy at his place, and invariably, you
know, at the end of the night, you know, after we'd shot
some pool and had a few beers, we'd invariably end up watching Wall Street
and just sort of quoting it, and you know, lines from that would
end up in our everyday conversation. But Wall Streets a fairly well known one.
There is another movie in nineteen ninety crime movie called King of New York,
which I may have mentioned on the show in the past, not much
time when you're talking with the guy who goes past that he doesn't mentioned King
in New York. And my good friend Anthony and I we're huge fans of
this. When we were working together at four to the Street Paper in Geelong
back in the back in the early nineties, Anthony I used to travel up
and down to Melbourne together a lot because we were reviewing movies. Invariably a
line from King of New York would end up in our conversation somewhere along the
line. You know, you'd see something and you'd be able to, you
know, fold a quote from the movie into it, or a bit from
the movie into it. So yeah, and the more time that a social
media got bigger, you drop, oh, you don't, what's a really
good movie this? And then people just start banging out lines from oh,
I've found my people. It's so great. It's it's a you know,
a really great bonding experience when something that's one of the great things about social
media is like, for example, this podcast here. I started this podcast
when none of my friends were watching The Simpsons anymore, and then I started
doing this show and it's like, ah, I found I've made new friends.
I don't need my old friends anymore. By suckers. But as I
was getting, as I was mentioning earlier, so this to me and from
my friends at the time. Growing up in the nineties, for anyone who
grew up in the early nineties, it almost felt like our well, what's
what's the what's the coming of age film? With the eighties like stand By
Me? Maybe it's look yeah, I mean I've written and it looks stand
by Me is really still the ultimate version of this kind of story. Yeah,
but this one felt like ours. This was like our coming of age
film. You know, it's just we'd all have seen and heard of stand
By Me. But that was an old movie, it is, yea,
even though it was only a few years, like maybe what six years earlier,
it was eighty six, eighty seven, I think, yeah, yeah,
I mean, I remember, I remember seeing that of the movies,
even though I was in my late teens, because I'd read the Stephen King
short story that was based on the Body out of the Different Seasons anthology and
just thought it was fantastic. And yeah, I mean I sort of made
a even though I was a few years older than the characters, and stand
By Me, I was like, no, no, I really want to
see this, and you know, it really hit home. It's a really
well done movie and a great story. So by the time The Sandlot Kids
had come around in ninety three, like I said, I was a bit
too old for it, and yeah, that didn't really I didn't really relate
to it as much. Although you know, watching it, you know a
little while ago, I could see that there's a lot of the archetypes and
tripes and what have you of coming of age stories that this movie does.
I mean, I don't think this movie really exists. With our stand By
Me being a huge success, I'm pretty sure that the studio is probably like,
we want some of that stand by Me, Man air Well and David
Mickey Evans drop some of it. Well, you iced to play ball with
a bunch of kids back in the day and it was a bit like that,
and you know, we can put some sixties stuff on the soundtrack.
Sold. So yeah, I think Avans you have done it again what idea?
Yeah, But I don't think this. I think stand By Me sort
of set, not even set the template for this, because every generation's got
it's coming of age story or you know some of that changed our lives story
or whatever, and not just for boys as well. I mean there's a
whole, you know, army of young women out there who you know will
swear by the movie. Is it now now? And then? Do you
know that one? I've heard of it. I've seen that. I think
it came out at roughly the same time as the Sundlock Kids. Yeah,
where you've got for tween or teen girls and they reunited as adults and they're
played by like dem Moore and Melanie griffithin few and you know, that's that's
huge. I mean, everyone loves a remember when we were kids story and
or like they say, and stand by me. I never had any friends
like I did when I was twelve years old. So that's you can basically
make a whole industry around that. And that's what and that's what the Sandlot
fits into. Well. What I loved about this was that I was a
big fan of like family sports films in the nineties, right, So you
had and there were so many of them too. Yeah, the Mighty Ducks,
The Mighty Ducks Herees was big in the nineties. You had there was
a film that you don't really hear me people talk about anymore. Do you
have a Little Giants? I know of it with it O'Neill and Rick Moranus,
right, Yeah, loved that media as a kid as well. So
this though, to me, had the elements of you know, like like
a coming of age kind of film, but also had the sport involved as
well, so it was like the best of both worlds. But I just
found the character of Small so relatable because it came this movie was rested the
time when you're still trying to work yourself out. You've got the anxieties of
friends and clicks at school and that kind of thing, and being feeling uncool
and feeling unpopular. So I just found small. It's just like it almost
felt like I was watching myself on screen. No. No, he's a
very relatable central character. All the stuff about I'm not good at anything,
and then yeah, everyone, I think everyone goes to that stuff. And
also, I mean they kind of not stack the deck against him, but
I mean he's got a fear that going on. As the story opens,
I mean, he's moved to a new new town, new neighborhood, got
a new dad, and he's still working himself out. You know, he's
one of these kids who says, oh, I'm just an egghead or whatever,
and you know it's going to be an interesting journey watching him maybe bump
up against his stepdad or you know, will they come to will they come
to him? The stepdad clearly is still working it out as well, and
I'm thinking going to be a bit intimidating of Dennis lear easier stepdad. He
kind of looks even when he's trying to seem nice, it's like, yeah,
I don't know, he's an asshole. He's an asshole, and you
know, and even the early stage where he you know, he's sort of
hanging around the edges of the Sandlot and he's found this group that's clearly very
tight knit. Once something Evans does really well and the sort of build that
legend of the Sandlot and the Sandlot Kids. This film's built a lot on
the legend. I love the legends in this movie. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, and even small scale legends, like you know, they weren't playing
a game, they were just playing baseball and it just never stopped. You
know. That's that's something you can sort of here filled through memories like maybe
they did play games, so they just felt like a game that never ended,
and that's that's for us. It was like, you know, kick
to kick, playing footy in a show, but yeah, you didn't score.
You just you know, you had teams and you're kicking goals and stuff,
but it didn't matter what the score was. At the end, You're
just you're just playing footy. Yeah, you're just playing footy to the set
for the sake of playing footy. And it gets you know, baseball is
the thing that initially sort of binds them, but then they're you know,
expands more and more. You know, you've got the Wendy Wendy peppercorn.
Yeah yeah, the lifeguard of the pool and all that kind of business and
yeah, other stuff like that. I like, how and you know,
the gradually you've got the Shenanigans. I'm trying to retrieve all the lost balls
and all that kind of business. Uh. Yeah, It's it's a story
that sort of grows and expands as it goes along, and it becomes pretty
entertaining and pretty just comfortable. I mean, I can see why a young
Dando really dug it and revisit it again again, and why it holds such
a sort of a like I said, a warm spot in your heart.
I mean, it's it's that kind of movie. It feels like a very
comfortable movie. I have this theory of who's Squint's right, Squints he tells
the story about I think it was his grandfather who was a cop. It's
fever like. That's that's one of the things. That's one of the quotes
as are stuck in my head still to the say four ver right and then
it's obviously it's coming clean. You know, it's just a dog you could.
It's nothing the doory would have got it for. And mister Myrtles actually
is nice ex baseball player. I love the idea that his grandfather so he
went home one day and he was like, mom, Dad, you should
we hit the ball of the fence. We couldn't get the ball back.
And then his Grandfather's like, I've got a story for your kid, and
his granddad told the story, and the legends just evolved from Mike Squins retelling
his story over and over again. And I loved that that theory that,
you know, his granddad just for shifting Geeks told me the story about mister
myrtle Man that obviously never happened. But it's just kids believe shit. Mate.
You tell him that, They're like, I'm going to run with this.
Yeah. Well there's a whole larger than life aspect to parts of the
story as well. I mean, something I've written down in my notes is
sort of like totems of childhood and adulthood. I mean, like the Babe
Ruth ball is, you know this thing that's got a bit of a larger
than life kind of story around it. So well, you know there's baseball
cards as well, and even the PF Flyers that Benny the Jet puts on
when he has to when he's doing the pickle run or whatever it is.
You know, there's a there's a time when you're a kid when it's like
these things that you own, these little toys or whatever, they have more
meaning than they actually do in the real world. It's like, no,
these are actually going to make me go faster or you know, I mean,
the ball actually is pretty valuable. It means signed by the Bambino.
Better your carrots, kids, that make you see better, Yeah, all
that kind of stuff. So, I mean, I think that's something that
the movie does really well, just that time when when you're very young,
when they're a kind of again legends, the things that matter in your world
don't really mean all that much, but I mean everything to you very much
though, very much. I mean, the sam Lot takes on a you
know, it's because it's their universe. It's their universe. Yeah, and
you know the over the fence at Mister Myrtles is kind of like the Forbidden
Zone and it's the Elephant Graveyard. Yeah, It's that's something that the movie
does pretty well. I mean, I won't I won't lie to you.
I mean there's a fair bit in this movie that was kind of there's it's
good enough to make, it's good enough to make to make me wish it
was better in some ways. I mean, I think the Evans Evans this
is Evan's first time directing, and I don't know the aspect of it,
like, oh this is a these are kind of rookie mistakes, or it
could use a little bitfulness in some ways. I mean, Evans himself is
the voice over guy. He's voicing grown up smalls, and I was thinking,
I wish you'd had a few more bucks and sprung for like a legit
actor to do that. I mean, you couldn't have got Kevin Costner at
that stage, because Kevin Costant was making, you know, twenty million dollars
a movie or whatever. But someone with his voice, or like Jeff Bridges
or someone like that who had a really good narrate of voice. I don't
know, but I just think that's that's one issue. The other thing is,
and I mentioned stand By Me before, I mean, that's got a
quartet of young actors at the core of it. Ayal's got key for Sutherland,
it's some other good actors in supporting roles. But those four actors in
stand By Me are just you know, they're perfect for their roles and they're
perfect with each other. And I don't want to dis the kids of the
Sandlot, but they're not quite as good. There's also just a few too
many of them where you need to have them for a baseball team, though
I guess you do, though, I understand that completely, So you're not
you know, the twins aren't necessarily all the big and you're really just focusing
on small Benny Ham and essentially Ham and Squints. I guess little little sex
best. And look, the kid actors are fine, but yeah, they're
fine. So I think that's for me though, that that kind of works
for the movie. Now, because there was a star in that cast,
they would stand out. I don't. I don't think they necessarily need to
be a star. I just think they need to be maybe better actors.
But at the same time, they've also got this incredible youthful exuberance and enthusiasm
that does work in their favor. So you've got to know you've got to
balance it that one way or another. I like the kind of I've got
my notes. I kind of like the riff raff nature to this, because
I wouldn't say that are the losers of the neighborhood, but when it came
to baseball, they were. They seem good at baseball because they play all
the time. But it's almost like they weren't the jocks. They were like
the nerds of baseball in the town. Well, the kids from the wrong
side of the tracks as well, because I mean, you see the other
team rock up and they've all got there, you know, they've got cool
bikes, and they've all got uniforms. And the kid playing was it Phillips,
you know, who seemed like the little captain of the other team.
And yeah, and he gets into the sledging match with with Ham plays ballock
a girl. Yeah, and it eventually escalates to the worst insult of all
in the nineteen sixty two It's funny. I was, I was, you
know, doing a little bit of wikipediaing about the movie, and you know,
there's a couple of sequels. There's there's definitely the Sandlot too, and
looking at it on Disney Plus, which is where I watched it, the
little blurb comes up and goes, we're going back to the sandlot with the
Boys and Girls of the Sand, and I'm like, yeah, it's definitely
done to be a bit more inclusive. I've never seen the sequels, I
know, I never have either. The Perry is in one of them,
though, Yeah, isn't the third one, I think, because what happens
is he gets like transported back in time or something something like that. Yeah,
yeah, yes, maybe it's worth checking that out. I'm not too
sure, but but yeah, I liked the refraf nature of the film.
I did see a couple of articles when I was looking this up, and
it's like the reasons why the sand like kids or the sound is now problematic,
And I was like, can we just leave it alone? Not like,
oh god, fuck off. I'm not going to give that article anything.
I'm not going to explain it. But yeah, no, I don't
think it. Yeah, ignore that nonsense. I mean, the film even
acknowledges it's quote unquote problem at he asthmts. I mean, the really the
only one is that, like I said, squint a little sex best and
you know, fakes drowning so he can lay a kiss on Wendy the lifeguard.
Call me crazy, call me a misogynist. I fucking was in tears.
I just thought as a kid, like, I love the acting of
oh he's in deep shit, Like kid, you know what it was because
I knew what was coming, right. So when he's like walking to the
to the diving board and he has his big grin on his face knowing what
he's about to do, it just makes it funnier. But the fact that
this kid and the narrator, he's just like, you know, that day
he became a man, just like h but the narrator, the narrator even
acknowledges. It's like it was pretty shady what he did or pretty skeezy what
he did, but it was also pretty daring. I just I was in
absolute tears. But then there was a line I can't remember what it was.
Oh yeah, so you plant I've been planning it for years. That's
ending. Yeah, given that you know Squinn's Mary Wendy Peppercorn nine kids.
Yeah, she's like, you know, she like waves him would never will
be banned forever from that day, but every day we will passed. And
she waved to him. I don't even fuck you think it's bad to the
tip. I think that's that scene. Just I love that scene. It
makes me so happy, but also too in that that pool scene. So
Ham's the obnoxious, over confident one hiding he's sort of I guess he's insecurities
by being over confident, But just when he walks into the pool and he's
like calling himself sexy and doing the fucking hug Hogan, MA gets me.
He's probably my He's probably my favorite out of the great he was. Still
It's still very funny, isn't it. Yeah, he's had a bit of
a I think the actor's name is Patrick Renner, and I think he went
on and did a few other things. I think he was I think he
replayed Ham under a different name in various other movies, various other teen movies
and things like that. Well, Benny Benny was in the Mighty Ducks sequel
D two. I think he was in D three as well. Yeah,
he's a Louise. Louise was his last Louise. He's the kid that can't
break. He can't sort of stop with his breaks with his skates, so
he's always crashing into things. Yeah, he's a really good I mean,
he plays an athlete really well. I wouldn't be surprised if he was an
athlete when he wasn't acting, so he was he was picked out of a
lineup basically, so he was seen by a talent scout lining up for a
right at affair and it was just and then he retired from acting in nineteenenty
seven. He did like the Two Mighty Ducks films and he was like,
I'm out. I don't want to do this anymore. He checked out,
and now he's a fineman. But I did read that unfortunately unfortunately. In
twenty eighteen, I think it was he was part of a group of people
who like attacked a guy, like choked him out and he nearly died and
stuff. So you're like, she caught. I was like, ah,
shit, okay, that's sort of well, it's funny. There's also a
story about Thomas Geary, who played Smalls. He allegedly had butted at an
airport cop back in twenty thirteen. Wow and yeah, yeah, apparently was
uncharged with domestic violence as well. Oh my god, Oh Sundlock kids,
they're gon have to make a sequel to get that fucking money to pay their
bail to the bail And they did do a reunion. I think it was
just prior to these domestic charges. In twenty eighteen, where it was to
celebrate the twenty fifth anniversary of the film, they went to as the Jets
that he plays for. At the end, I think they went to a
Jets game La Jets or whatever, and and they all they're wearing their own
jobbers, but Benny wasn't there. And it's like, if you're doing a
sound like kids reunion, I'm pretty sure. But anyway, Yeah, but
no, he's very well cast. And that's it. You know, later
on in the film, when that's they flashed forward to the present day and
small As is working as the commentator for the for the baseball I think that's
that's Mike, Mike Vadale, Mike vadal I think that's his actual dad playing
grown up Benny, his older brother. Is it his older brother? Yeah,
oh I can. But anyway, it looks just liking it, doesn't
It's it's really good. It's very good casting. And I think I think
young Benny's incredibly good casting as well. He seems like the kind of he
so believable, wasn't he. Yeah, capable, charismatic kid that you would
look up to and that you hope would take under your wing, because I
mean he's not. He sort of rags on him. It's like, hey,
you don't know shit about baseball or whatever, but he's also willing to
teach him because he's Benny seems like a genuinely good guy, but also someone
who loves baseball so much that he really wants to bring more people into the
fold, you know. And I think he I think he digs being a
teacher and a mentor, even at that young age. That's something that came
through it to me at least, which which I really liked. And also
something about sport. I mean, I'm not really much of a sportsman.
I never really have been. But if you get your confidence up, you
know, the one time you like kick a really good drop punt in footy,
or the first time you you know, you catch a long fly into
the outfield or whatever. I mean, it's like, oh, okay,
well if I did it once, I can do it again. Yeah,
I mean yeah, so, And I like the momentum that's sort of gathered
from that. It's something that the movie does pretty well, I think.
And as we're referring to earlier kick to Kick, right, you play kick
the kick or whatever like footy at lunchtime at school. You did something during
that game. It was talked about all week like you were like a big
guy, you know, you kick the goal from the boundary line or whatever
like that. It's like, you see what it was great. You took
a specky, you took a fantastic yark and it was like war man.
But yeah, I just had my notes here. Benny I think was my
first man crush. I think you know, I would have been six or
seven at the time. As you were saying, Benny is the kind of
guy that you wanted in your life when you were You either want if you
I mean you don't have any brothers dying, Yeah, but it's either someone
you want as your brother or as your bestie. Like this guy was showing
me the ropes. And it's almost like a good role model as well for
younger viewers to say, be more like this guy. Yeah, yeah,
I mean by all means, you know, laugh at hand, being you
know a braggers or admire squintss. You know, bravado in putting the moves
on Wendy Pepagorn, don't do it, admire the bravado if not the actual
deed, but yeah, Benny is like, oh yeah, this is a
good young masculine role model. Now, what did you think of the various
relationships in this film? So we've touched on earlier with Bill and Smalls and
how that develops throughout the film. I did have here. Bill's a scary
guy, like when he was first play in Cash the catch. I'm like
it made small smallst anxiety that much more believable. It's like I would be
anxious being around the well, that's yeah, I mean, And and he's
fear and he's fear of fucking up at baseball stems from his fear of fucking
up for Bill. Yeah, very much. So. I mean, Dennis
Lawyer looks like an intimidating guy. Doesn't exactly look warm and cuddly even when
he's sort of playing not necessarily, he's not even trying to be threatening,
but he's just like, I don't want to mess up in front of this
guy, or I get the feeling if if I screw up too much,
he's either just going to disengage completely or just diss me right to my face,
like you suck it, Let's never do this again. And you know
he's been sort of pressuring him to say, can you come out and teach
me how to catch? And then when you do that, you sort of
want to be like, I really want to learn how to do it,
but you keep sucking at it. That's it's it's it sucks to suck in
front of people that you're trying to win press or trying to I don't know,
be part of the group or be this guy's son. Yeah, I
mean that's it's tough. It's tough. Absolutely, did Bobby ever teach you
how to kick a footie? Was there ever a thing did Bobby? Did
Bobby have? For those who aren't aware of you listening now, guys,
Dad was on the greatest AFL footballs of all time, you want, team
of the century? Was did he ever try and incorporate football into your life
or was it just he kept those lives separate, Not that he kept it
separate. I mean there was a bit of kick kick and all that,
all that kind of stuff. One thing that you have to remember is,
you know Dad's ankles got really messed up playing and as he got older,
you know they weren't properly seen to and you know he had a fair bit
of issue with him, So he wasn't really racing around the backyard with me
ornything like that. But we'd have kicked to kick occasionally, but I mean
more often than not. And because first of all, not once that I
was an only child, but there was eight years between me and my sister,
and I was the only boy. I didn't have any brothers. And
yeah, I had friends, but not really friends in the neighborhood that I
was living in. So you know, when I was playing kick to kick,
I was essentially going to the park kick, go, get the ball,
kick all that kind of ye you know, and which means I always
enjoyed playing footy when I was playing footy with my friends at school or whatever.
So you know, I mean it's not like I was like, no,
I'm not teaching it to do kick to kick or anything like that.
Just there were various aspects that made it not something to happen all that often.
It's not something that I'm sort of losing sleepover anything like that. It's
just been another way it was. But no, I've been I always enjoyed
doing kick to kick or just having sort of practice matches or whatever with just
a small group of maze. He didn't You didn't have a full team or
anything like that. You're just sort of played footy. You played six positions
on the field essentially. One of my favorite memories of my dad and I
growing up was him take me to the footio just to play teach me how
to kick or footy basically so I could and that that idea of not wanting
to not be able to do it at first. It always like I'm one
of those people who I can't pick it up straight away. I get really
angry. I just expect to be able to learn something straight away. And
it's always ever since I was a kid, Dad said, you see it
really angry when you couldn't kick in It's like, we just got to keep
practicing and keep practicing. And really it's the same I try and teaching to
kick a football. He gets angry and he can't do my okay, mate,
relax, we'll get there. He's going to keep practicing. But the
scene where he goes down to the to the soundlot for the first time and
he's like, don't be a Goophers, don't be a Goophers, and he's
so anxious and he throws it. They all laugh at him. I'm like,
that just sums up they epitomizes that, just that the rawness of childhood.
They're not horrible kids, but kids are just horrible, if that makes
any sense. Like they're not trying to be mean. They haven't. They
haven't got that filter yet. No, no. Yeah. So but that
scene though, when he so he's so scared to throw the ball that he
runs the ball up and puts in the glove. Yeah, your heartbreaks for
him because you can just imagine what's going through his head that at that moment.
It's like and then he gets back and whoever's playing Smalls at the time,
he's just he's sort of he sort of his shoulders sinking, he puts
his head down. He's like, I know, embarrassing, but it's the
only way I'm not going to be potentially laughed out of this place. But
it's it's so great that he gets that gets that wisdom from from betting.
He's just like either thrown a newspaper on your paper on when you don't just
throw them back and you let go there. That's it. Yeah, you
know, there was actually another baseball movie that I really loved as a kid.
You just reminded me then called Rookie of the Year. I was thinking
of that one. Yeah, yeah, which is the kid that that that
one is very unrealistic, you know, it joins the Chicago Cubs and that
that's like your wacky sports story. This one just felt more real and grounded.
Yeah. I mean, it's, like I said, essentially coming of
age story with baseball as the backdrop. What do you think of the dog
story? That's why I think I like this one so much because it combined
a good sense of wackiness with the Beast, with just sort of realism with
the with the soundlot and the relationships as well. Yeah, that's right.
I mean I hate to keep coming back to stand by Me, but you
know that feels lifted from that as well. Even though I'm sure that you
know, pretty much everyone has a story about the you know, the mad
dog in the neighborhood or the big dog that you always avoided. I mean,
stand by Me, he's got the story of Chopper, who will you
know, sick balls, that kind of stuff. I like the Beast fine,
I mean there were parts of it it went unrealistic, but you know,
sort of the effects and you know, yeah, the big mouth slobbering
mouth and all that kind of stuff, and then you actually see the dog
and you realize it's just you know, it's all it's been on the head
things this entire time. But always the kid confused me. I was like,
but they saw this dog and they saw it was this gigantic robotic They
saw it was this giant monster dog. They saw it as Coo Joe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so the idea m I had to try and
explain to me. Now that's just what they were seeing in their minds.
I'm like, what what so that always can't get it that that always confused
me. But a nice surprise to get James L. Jones at the end
though, isn't it that that is good my man, Jimmy Jones and his
cool he's cool sunglasses. Yeah. I don't know. I think that was
a yeah, really nice that. It was a really good get to get
him as the act. I mean something else I really enjoyed. Well.
I liked that, you know, he played with them with Babe Ruth and
all that kind of stuff and had story and wanted to, you know,
tell you what you get this fan Hasti ball signed by Murderer's Rowe fired,
you come back and talk baseball. It was that's nice. You know the
world's opening up a bit more and all that kind of stuff. I thought
that was great. But something I really dug was the whole the Babe Ruth
dream that Benny has with one of my one of my favorite that guy actors
playing playing Babe Ruth, this guy named Art la Flour. He's no longer
with us, he died last year. I believe that man was built in
a lab to play Fred flint Stone. As far as it really doesn't.
Yeah, but he's an actor I really like, and I think he did
a really good job playing the Babe. I'd like to know more about Babe
Ruth. He sounds like a really interesting character. But I love that story.
How they you know, he's at the bottom of the ninth or whatever,
he calls his shot and then he just went fucking calls his shot.
Isn't it? This the funniest thing? Yeah, yeah, so you call
that pictures. It does catch. The movie does capture that whole You really
rag on your mates, and that's how you know your mates. It felt
like a very usy vibe that didn't because we take the piss out of our
mates and you got to other countries and you make fun of someone, like,
what do you be mean for? It was like, oh no,
it's because I like you, so that the aspect here I enjoyed that.
Yeah, I mean maybe it's something that I imagine something that American kids would
do as well, but or maybe it's just the sort of scrappy wrong side
of the tracks kids but they grow out of eventually. But I remember after
watching this film too, I'm like, can go it into the shop and
get me some cracks and some tim tans Peas decided to make Small because I
imagine this is where a lot of people learned about small. Yeah, not
just small exactly, but the way sorry who plays Hamm what's the actor's name
again? Sorry? Patrick Renner? Is the way he feels like a kid
who loves smores and he's having a great time explaining smores, like he's like
he is so into it. Well, I'm thinking everybody's got there something in
this movie. Yeah, Benny will teach you how to play baseballs and ham
will teach you how to make smalls. Yeah. I was just like,
I've always particularly loved that scene. Yeah, we're just explained it a small
as it's so much fun, but also can we just touch on the soundtrack
before we get into some questions from that from the listeners. But I've just
think this is one of my favorite Maybe you got music from the sixties is
always going to be good, but I've just think this has like every song
on this film as a banker, it's good. It's it's a good jukebox
movie, isn't it is? Yeah, And I think it's got the perfect
use of the song magic moment, just as this kid thing where that song
is like the perfect to that scene for me anyway. But when I can't
hear the song Tequila without or wipe out for that matter, and in the
finals of Tequila whatever I want to ride in my head, I'm going do
all. And although, so anything else you want to discuss about this film
before we getting some questions? What do you think about the Mum? I
like the mum tongue just go out and get into trouble, not too much,
but some yeah, yeah, I mean I like Karen Allen. Of
course she's marrying from Raisers the Last Dark and been a bunch of other stuff.
It's look, it's not much of a role, but she does what
she can with it, and yeah, yeah small as his mum seems like
a nice lady. I do like that she's like, yeah, no,
mum's gonna tell you this, so yeah, take advantage of this as she
knows that she needs to be there for him with Bill as well, because
she obviously can tell Bill's not we obviously got no kids of his own.
I'm assuming Bill still work No, Bill is still working it out as well.
Yeah, he loves her and he's like the actra that comes with it
kind of thing. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Yeah, but even
though he's played by Dennis Leary, I mean, he's not a prick.
He's just working it out as much as as small as working it out.
Yeah, yeah, one final thing before we move on. I just had
the quote here that I want to make sure that we get out of there
squints as quotes. So I think it's my favorite joke of the movie about
time Benny mclothes are going out of style. That's that is the best line.
I've wrote that one down myself. It's like that's a that's a pretty
good sledge. I mean, this is a movie with some good sledging in
it, but that's that's probably the best line. Yeah, that's one you
could use today like I was going side. I just yeah, that and
the fucking pool scene squints, squints and hand are the funniest in the movie
by far. Oh yeah yeah. Yeah. All right, let's get into
some questions now from our listeners, so we put it out on Twitter as
well as in our Patreon exquisitive group. Nora Cooca says he's so excited for
this for this review. It's based on much of a thing in Australia.
Did you grow up knowing about it and or playing it? I still don't
know anything about baseball. It's one of those films that one of those sports
that I'd love to get into it. And if I go to America again,
I would want to go to a game because they called America's past time
for a reason. It's like it's traditional, you know. But I've just
never really understood it all that much. Me neither. No. I mean,
when they say bottom of the ninth, I'm like, oh, well
that means something, right because I've heard it so many times, But you're
right in it leads to it's something that I did want to talk about when
it comes to American sports, particularly how they're shown in movies. You know,
American football gridline is almost shown as like this real gladiatorial contest. It's
very it's almost like you're making an action movie when you're making a football movie,
and when you're making an ice hockey movie, or that's even more damn
and dirty because it's usually just fighting. Basketball is usually very graceful or it's
like holy shit, and you've seen what these guys can do, or you
know, it shows like a real athleticism and you can hear di di di
di di. That's true. But baseball really feels like you know, the
American legend. You know, there's like a really it's really steeped in history,
you know. When yeah, all there's that, But when you're talking
about proper baseball movies, yeah, yeah, when you're talking about baseball movies,
there's always kind of like this is a real tradition. It can be
huge, you know, stadiums and things like, but generally it's like small
towns and it's a sport that gives it's a sport that gives a film time
to breathe when it's covering it as well. That's right, yeah, yeah,
And I mean I can, of course have you know, great moments
of athleticism and that kind of thing. That's so a real bonding experience,
a real team experience, and it has like a real philosophy behind it.
I never really understood the real sort of like power of it. But the
idea of stealing a base just seems like the big legend, Like you can
steal a base, It's like the greatest thing in the world. Well,
yeah, I mean so many aspects of baseball seemed to require so many different
disciplines and skills. I mean, I imagine it takes a great deal of
courage to sort of stand at the plate with it with a bat in your
hand and someone so on a pretty hard ball, actually pretty damn fast.
So what happened to James E. L. Jones got hit in the head
and now he's blind? Yeah, but you know, or being able to
hit that and you know a ball is being thrown at you that quickly and
being able to knock it out of the park or knock the knock the skin
off it like Benny does. You know, it requires speed, that requires
all these different things. You know. I remember having a little baseball bat
when I was a kid. I don't know where it came from, but
yeah, I remember being just fascinated by I'd get, you know, tennis
balls and just try and whack him with this, with this baseball bat,
and did a fair for you? I was like, well, Baseball's fan.
Zach has asked he's never seen the soundler, is it worth watching as
an adult first timer, as someone who doesn't really have a love for baseball
or did he miss the shot? No, it's definitely worth watching. And
from what I've known of a conversation, Zach, I think you would be
a fan of this movie. It's hard not to at least enjoy this film.
You would never committed this film feeling like I've wasted my time. I
don't think. Yeah. But like I said, Zach, it's not I
mean, it's got baseball in it, but it's not necessarily a baseball movie.
It's more moving about you know, the friends you have when you're when
you're a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, and everyone can
relate to that. Becky Manners says, oh, my guy, who's my
favorite film? I found it by accident once when I was a kid and
just watched it all the time afterwards exactly, I feel like it's just one
of those films that you didn't go to the movies and see it. You
just found it the video shop and then you're like, this movie is great.
They just spread the love to everybody into it, because if you've seen
this movie, that's that's what it felt like for me anyway. But she
says, have either of you done anything as shocking as pretend dranning to impress
a girl or just even get a kiss out of it's? What's the most
damn thing you've done to get a kiss from a girl? I'll tell a
story that's not. It paints me in a terrible light. Well not a
terrible light, but not the most masculine light. I was about thirteen or
so and I was at you know, like a teenage Pony and you know,
full of young teenagers who were starting this. I'm like, boys and
girls they're interesting and different from one another. And I decided to hold like
a kissing competition. I'm like, who's judging this and what are the criteria?
Needless to say, everyone else was kissing and I was not so and
I was like, I'm hideous and we'll never kiss a girl as long as
I live, and I got a bit sad about it, as you do,
as you do when you're a teenager. A young woman that I had
an enormous crush on performed the greatest charitable act that I've ever ever known by
taking me aside and kissing me that night. Not a huge pash, but
I was just, you know, kiss on the lips from the most beautiful
girl that i'd seen up on the lad point. And I was like,
well, I didn't do anything brave or bold to earn their kids. I
was just like, sick, don't never get to kids. And she kissed
me, which you I thought was really very, very sweeter Gavin Gavin David
says, am I there anyone who knew very little about baseball then and still
knows very little about baseball now? Yeah. I still always enjoyed this movie.
Maybe it's because I can relate to playing footy in the park as having
the ball go over and ever's fence and being terrified with their dog. Actually,
it's the funny thing you bring up there. So when I used to
live in or Lane here growing up, we spent a lot of backyard cricket,
right We had a big backyards back in the day. You know,
hit the back fence on the four or six, so it always hit the
side fences. It was four, so you'd always trying to hit the fence,
but never over because on the right side. So if you're looking at
their house on the right hand side. Danny had a small dog. It
was like a jack russell, but like a bit bigger than a normal jack
russell. It's called socks because he was all like a tan color. We
had white feet, so it was called socks. Motherfucker of like a nipper.
Right, the ball would go over the fence and he just bought for
the ball and run straight to the back porch like fuck me, like he's
just taking another ball day. Yeah, remember one day we hit the ball
over and you know, it was like, oh man, then we can't
play cricket anymore. What are we supposed to do all day? Now the
day's ruined if I come over to play cricket and now we can't play.
I remember I was like I'm going for it, like don't do it,
don't do it. And it's like you could hear his little feet like scuttering
on the inside of the porch and I'm like, I'm doing this now that
they'd a pretty bit back out to it, and I'm like, all right,
it would be a good twenty to thirty meters from the back porch.
I reckon, I've got enough time to jump this fence, get over,
grab this ball, and get back. And I remember like I jumped over
climbed of a very keft, didn't jump over this climber very carefully, put
my foot down, and it's like I was out of a film. I
picked the ball up through what over the fence, and I was like,
I'm safe. As I'm walking back, I step on this stick and it's
like and I hear like he's collago and I was like fuck, and like
this fucking dog just bolts out of the porch and I was like jumping up
and remember bit me on the ankle, not my huge bite, but I
remember my dad being furious about that. But I'm like, Dad, I
was in their yard. But like I was a hero that day because I
jumped the fence and I took on socks one on one. I was Benny.
I got the ball back. Fantastic story. But just that let that
comment just reminded me of that. But let's head to the Twitter now and
see if anyone sent anything through. All right, So, Cat Piano Guy
says, what were some of the best memories made during the summers of your
youth? For him? Uh? Well the guy, so yeah, for
him, I'll always remember camping with my uncle and cousin, not swimming with
my friends, and taking my dad's boat out to the river or the ocean
and inner tubing. Wow, sounds like a pretty adventurous childhood. Cat Piano
Guy, that sounds thread. I just the other is the summers, just
for me was going out to the bike like like bike jumps, like taking
your bike down there. We all go our bikes, but just the idea
of just going to each other's houses on our bikes, being in like a
group of like a gang. We went like reckless, but just cruising the
streets, feeling so independent on it by ourselves on our bikes. Now,
you've said before, when you get your first bike, you feel so free,
don't you. You've got the ability to go here, there and everywhere.
But you know, playing cricket in the backyard was huge for us to
play kick the kickers while down at the park. But I was pretty sporty
kid. What about you. I wasn't necessarily that sporty, but I think
you bang on with the having your gang, your little core group of buds
that you're sort of hanging out with, particularly during summers, when you know
that period between the end of one school year in the start of the next
just feels like it's forever. And it's really that much in the overall,
in the overall scheme of things, but it honestly feels like because you're changing
all the time as well. Yeah, I mean you might come back,
you know after summer holiday. It's like, oh my god, someone says
a different person. But yeah, not really specific memories, just sort of
a vibe, just sort of a feeling that you end as I playing scalectrics
BA yourself all summer. That's true. It's written comic books, No,
just down around Eastern Beach or I don't know, just getting up to getting
up the stuff. Stuff that felt that felt like it had so much meaning
at the time, and you look back and and we weren't really doing that
much, but it meant everything getting into trouble, but not too much,
that's correct. I liked this comment here from Captain Wolf they say, I
used to have a five movie DVD set. We used to get the sets,
but you're like five movies that holes muscles kind of similar, and the
other four were bush Whacked, Baby's Day Out, Rusty the Great Rescue,
and have filmed it. I have not thought of since I was a kid.
Dunston checks in, Oh my god, Dunston in the Orang and dang
yeah wow wait I remember being like big at the time everyone was talking about
this. Dunston checks in, I think Jason Alexander isn't maybe, yeah,
yeah, I can't quite remember, but yeah. So I just love that.
It was like the cheaper way of getting There was like two or three
films in that set that you wanted. The other two were just like,
I don't even like you're getting it. You're getting them cheap enough where you
could justify getting two ship films and having three good ones. What a deal,
Yeah, what a deal. But thank do everyone who are senting questions
and comments on our Twitter feed and the Patrion group. But yes, the
sound like kids, I'm going to be finally got a chance to revisit this.
I'm glad you didn't hate it. I was. I was really worried
on like, man guy disliked this. If he really didn't like this film,
I'm gonna be so disappointed. I'm glad you at least enjoyed it for
what it was I did. Indeed. Yeah, a nice trip back to
nineteen sixty two. Yes, And if you haven't already, guys, check
out out other movie reviews so far we've covered this season. We've got a
Starship Troopers. Gremlins was another film we tackled. Hen the other ones we've
reviewed so far, I don't I think the only two for this season so
far recent Memories, I think so yeah, yeah, yeah, So what
do you think? Any ideas for what next month's review is going to be?
Mister Davis, You've got a new ideas for me. It's gonna be
a film that people know. I'm really keen to do tremors. I think
that's you want to tremors. Yeah cool, I'm happy to go back and
use it. I remember seen as like a fifteen year old ish because it
was like it was a film that you looked at the cover as a kid.
You're like that looks spoken. The videos to the covers used to be
so cool, you know, and some covers just stick with like I always
think of the Evil Dea two one with the skull. Oh, yeah,
that's just it was so memorable that cover. But yeah, Tremors was a
great one as well as Kritters. Kritters was always really literally cool as well.
But yeah, Tremors. Remember it was just the Tremor looking up at
at the house. Wasn't it the big old grab boyd coming up to get
Kevin Bacon. Yeah, so let's check out Tremors, right, that'll be
the February review here on the movie guys, make sure you look out for
that one. Thank you so much, guys for your ongoing support here on

All right, mister Davis, This has been our review of the Sound
Like Kids. Thank you so much for joining us. Next month's going to
be more expertise from yourself because the film that you actually know one loves so
much, and Tremors, I'm excited to actually taggle that one. But I've
been excited to just sit down with this film with you as well. It's
been fun. Got any final words for those amazing listeners out there too.
