Jack chose 2001's Hardball for this month, in which Keanu Reeves plays Conor O’Neill, a down-on-his-luck gambler who takes a gig coaching a ragtag Little League team from Chicago’s Cabrini Green housing projects, mostly because he owes everyone money. Yes, the same housing project that Candyman is from! What starts as a begrudging paycheck gig turns into an "unlikely" redemption story, as Conor learns about responsibility, friendship, and the fact that kids have no filter whatsoever. Prepare for swearing children, sports movie cliches, white savior complex, and more in this racially-charged film that was definitely written and directed by white guys. Think The Bad News Bears, but with more gambling debt and a late-’90s hip-hop soundtrack and emotional manipulation.

In Chapter 7 of The Mandalorian, Mando reluctantly returns to Navarro after Greef Karga proposes a truce and a plan to take out the Client once and for all. He assembles a ragtag team, including Cara Dune, Kuiil, and IG-11, and brings Baby Yoda along for what is definitely not a 50-year-old baby safe mission. Things quickly spiral when Moff Gideon shows up, dramatically outclassing everyone and turning the trap into a massacre. The episode ends with Kuiil tragically killed and Baby Yoda captured, proving once again that trusting people in Star Wars is a fast track to heartbreak.

We had already planned on covering this one for our Schlock & Load segment, but we bumped it up in light of the Hulkster's passing. And, yes, we know Terry Bollea was a real-life piece of shit. In this schlock-bomb, Suburban Commando, Hogan swaps the wrestling ring for outer space as Shep Ramsey, an intergalactic warrior forced to lie low on Earth after breaking his spaceship in a hissy fit. Unfortunately for him, he crash-lands in the most aggressively normal suburb imaginable, moving in with mild-mannered architect Charlie (Christopher Lloyd) and his family. Cue fish-out-of-water hijinks involving skateboards, car thieves, a very confused mailman, and a terrified mime, all while Shep tries to dodge alien bounty hunters, played by a "welcome back" actor and an early in his career The Undertaker! It’s a bizarre mashup of sci-fi action, slapstick comedy, and early ’90s cheese that’s somehow both ridiculous and oddly charming.
