Bull Durham

Episode 40: Bull Durham (1988)
Theme: Sports Comedies
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis lace up their cleats, spit a heroic amount of sunflower seeds onto the dugout floor, and trot out onto the diamond for Bull Durham — the only baseball movie brave enough to ask, “What if minor league sports were just therapy sessions with extra pine tar?”

Join your two favorite washed-up prospects as they unpack:

  • Why Crash Davis is the only man alive capable of being both deeply wise and deeply wooden at the same time.

  • How Annie Savoy teaches English, worships baseball, and somehow runs the most successful unlicensed mentorship program in North Carolina.

  • Why Nuke LaLoosh is walking proof that you can have a million-dollar arm and a five-cent brain and still accidentally stumble into the majors.

  • How the Durham Bulls manage to win ballgames through pure superstition, questionable choices, and zero emotional regulation.

  • Why baseball might be the only sport where grown men solve their problems by throwing balls through windows.

From garters on the mound to fights behind bars, from shower-bat pep talks to 150-pitch outings that would make modern analytics teams faint on sight, Oz and Curtis break down a film that proves baseball isn’t about talent, hustle, or mechanics — it’s about vibes.


Final Verdict
Oz — Three-two fastball, belt-high
Curtis — 247 minor-league home runs
Both — Still waiting for someone to actually “avoid it like the plague,” because apparently nobody tried that in history.
