Episode 8: Major League

After a brief hiatus, we return with episode eight of The Annotated Eighties and our discussion of 1989's Major League. We discuss the film's relationship to Milwaukee with guest Jessica Burch, and the hosts discuss team identity, stadium politics, the history of Native American nicknames in sport, and the film's problematic portrayal of Black and Caribbean characters. We also praise Bob Uecker, Amy lauds Ted Lasso, and Paul does an impression of a 1910s latchkey kid.
