Darin Lundberg has been podcasting for nearly a decade, but he’s been a film obsessive for longer than he can remember. Movies have been his babysitter, confidante, and constant companion, and in 2016, he started the NostalgiaCast podcast with best friend Jonny Craddock, in which they revisit and review the films of their childhoods, to see if they stand the test of time, or if they're past their prime. In 2023, Darin also started the Back To Bluey podcast with co-host Robert Yaniz Jr., in which they discuss the Australian animated phenomenon BLUEY from a father’s perspective, as an aspirational tool for their families during the day-to-day.  Find Darin’s Work Here: https://nostalgiacast.libsyn.com/  https://linktr.ee/nostalgiacast  https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/75ff27c1-6ea9-40ea-9e36-17cd1901d255  https://linktr.ee/BackToBluey  Follow Nostalgia Cast & Back to Bluey: Twitter: https://x.com/DWLundberg?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor  Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/dwlundberg.bsky.social  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NostalgiaCast/  18:02-29:47 TRAILER, Basic Info, Interesting Facts More Info On “Bull Durham”: The Church of Baseball: The Making of Bull Durham, by Ron Shelton, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20080517143621/http://cgi.cnnsi.com/features/2003/si_movies/  https://vault.si.com/vault/2012/07/09/worshipping-at-the-church-of-baseball  29:47-40:01 General Opinion 40:01-54:45 Cast & Crew In-Depth More Info On Kevin Costner: https://www.biography.com/actors/kevin-costner   More Info On Susan Sarandon: https://www.biography.com/actors/susan-sarandon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Sarandon# https://www.britannica.com/biography/Susan-Sarandon  https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/arts/susan-sarandon-war-israel-gaza.html  54:45-1:08:43 Opening Of The Movie, Intro to the Characters More on Max Patkin, The Clown Prince of Baseball: https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/01/sports/max-patkin-79-clown-prince-of-baseball.html 1:08:43-1:18:55 Nuke, Annie, and Crash Love Triangle Set-Up 1:18:55-1:31:02 Annie and Nuke, Crash and Annie “I Sing the Body Electric” by Walt Whitman: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45472/i-sing-the-body-electric   Minor League Home Run Record: https://www.mlb.com/news/ron-shelton-a-fan-of-mike-hessmans-record/c-141063474   1:31:02-1:45:01 Crash and Nuke On the Field, Lollygaggers, Road Trip 1:45:01-1:52:56 A Brief History and Explainer of Minor League Baseball More On Minor League Baseball: https://www.milb.com/milb/history/general-history  https://www.mlb.com/news/best-minor-league-teams-2025  https://www.milb.com/news/gcs-296396  https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/february-2/national-league-of-baseball-is-founded  “Baseball” documentary, directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick 1:52:56 SPOILERS BEGIN 1:52:56-2:05:48 The Winning Streak, Annie Confronts Crash 2:05:48-2:13:32 Conference on the Mound, Winning Streak Ends, Nuke Called to the Show, Crash Released 2:13:32-2:22:41 Crash and Annie Love Montage, End of the Movie, Walt Whitman on Baseball The Real Walt Whitman Baseball Quotes (“You can look it up.”): https://sites.temple.edu/historynews/2018/10/22/walt-whitman-and-baseball/  https://ourgame.mlblogs.com/whitman-melville-and-baseball-662f5ef3583d  2:22:41-2:38:00 Double Feature Recommendations
