Top 5 Baseball Movies | NBA Playoffs- Knicks Blow Lead, Lakers, Nuggets | Rabbit Hole Roundup 119
About this episode
Jared Weiss discusses his top 5 baseball movies, reviews the Mission: Impossible series, and provides updates on the NBA playoffs and MLB.
In today's Rabbit Hole Roundup 119, I'm leaning heavily into movies with a splash of sports as baseball season and the NBA playoffs are heating up. I start with a personal top 5 list of the greatest baseball movies of all time — from childhood classics. Each one brings something different to the game and the culture of baseball storytelling. Then I dive into my first-time watch of the Mission: Impossible series starring Tom Cruise — breaking down why watching them out of order actually made the experience better, the evolution of the action, and why Rogue Nation stood out as my favorite. After that, I review a surprisingly underrated rom-com How Do You Know, starring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, and Jack Nicholson, and explain why it felt more real than most modern romantic comedies. Finally, I close with a full sports rundown: NBA Playoffs opening storylines (Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets, Thunder, Knicks, Celtics, etc.) MLB updates including the Mets' major slump, Yankees heating up, and standout performances from stars like Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Mason Miller.
