Summer Catch

The Mikes are playing America's favorite past-time with their guest this week; Pat Whalen from the Yet Another MCU Podcast as they discuss the 2001 romantic sports comedy, Summer Catch.

Taking place in Cape Cod and about players on their Chatham A's baseball team. The film centers on local player, Ryan Dunne (Freddie Prinze Jr.) who meets and falls for Tenley Parrish (Jessica Biel), the daughter of a wealthy couple who summer on the Cape. Ryan must deal with his feelings for Tenley as he clings to one last hope of being discovered and signed to a pro baseball contract.

Join Mike Field, Mike Butler, and Pat as they take a deep dive into what works and (mostly) what doesn't in this light and enjoyable film that is firmly a part of early 00's cinema.

So, grab your peanuts and cracker jacks, please watch out for any foul fly balls and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
