155. Baseball Utopia in Eephus -- Carson Lund

"What is joy when everything has been monetized and optimized?" For Carson Lund, the answer is rec league baseball, and his new film Eephus is about how a meaningless, anachronistic activity like a local baseball league can actually be the most meaningful and important thing you can do. The film is an ode to baseball, a comedy, and "an argument for democracy at a more human level, people just figuring things out."

You can find ways to stream Eephus or watch it in the theater here: https://www.eephusfilm.com/

And here's the Hawthorne quote I got totally wrong in the episode:

The novels of Anthony Trollope "just as real as if some giant had hewn a great lump out of the earth and put it under a glass case, with all its inhabitants going about their daily business, and not suspecting that they were being made a show of."
