Ep. 183 Review of "The Dink" an Apple TV Original

This week Andrew and Ted discuss the Apple TV original comedy "The Dink" starring Jake Johnson and Mary Steenburgen ... co-starring Ed Harris, Aaron Chen, Lynne Marie, and Cleo King. When a private tennis club finds it's core is being threatened by pickleball the club president (Harris), turns to obscure "duel challenge" in the club bi-laws to send the pickleball players packing. The club hosts a tennis tournament to find out who will represent the club side in the duel. Dustin (Johnson), who happens to be the son of the club president and former Junior Tennis phenom, ultimately wins the club championship and assumes that he will represent the club. His attitude changes after he injures himself and is prescribed pickleball as his physical therapy. There he falls in love with not only the game but with his partner Candace (Steenburgen) who is a number of years his senior. When it comes time for the duel the club pulls a last minute audible and subs Dustin with professional tennis player Andy Roddick. Dustin then takes over for the pickleball side of things and uses a forgotten rule to choose the game so instead of tennis Roddick and Dustin face off in a pickleball match. John McEnroe provides color analysis for the match from the stand as a spectator.
