Moneyball (2011)

  How We Seeez It! Moneyball (2011) “How can you not be romantic about baseball?” – Billy Beane For our September throwback movie, we are heading back 15 years to 2011 for Moneyball. Brad Pitt stars as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who, faced with one of the smallest payrolls in baseball, challenges conventional thinking and tries to build a winning team by finding value where everyone else has overlooked it. But Moneyball is not necessarily just a baseball movie. It is about questioning accepted wisdom, solving problems, and finding a different way to compete. Pitt and Jonah Hill give understated performances that help turn baseball statistics, trade calls, and front-office strategy into compelling drama. As always, mix a drink, have a listen, and let us know what you think. Also, please rate and review the show on all your favorite podcast apps. Drinks for the episode.
