Happy Anniversary! May I suggest Everybody Wants Some!! (yes exclamation points are part of the name) it is one of my favorite movies/baseball movies/Linklater movies. I also suggest Bull Durham. I mostly watch baseball movies... :)
i LOVE everybody wants some!! omg i cannot believe i forgot it… i clearly don’t actually associate it with baseball as much as i associate it with dudes rocking 😭 bull durham has been on my list forever, thank you for reminding me that i should finally check it out!!!
I actually argue with my husband about if it is a baseball movie or not. But I stand firmly that it is - I mean it’s about having teammates! That’s good enough for me.
Yes! It’s playoff season, perfect time to do Bull Durham. 😀
Happy anniversary! Your TSN issue made me realize what I missed when that film was new and I have NEVER been so sad to realize I missed out of a fandom in real-time. Bravo!
THANK YOU ERIC!!! delighted boy movies brought us together!
i am also so self-conscious about sharing. i used to be better about sharing on twitter and instagram back when i first started, even though i felt humiliation every time i did it, but then twitter became essentially unusable (and blocked substack links, i believe???) and i got less interested in instagram. so now i don't really share anywhere, which is probably not a good thing! where ELSE is there to share these days?
happy birthday and congratulations on a YEAR of boy movies!!! definitely has been a highlight of my week for the whole year :)
also very here for goblet of fire as a boy movie. do you remember the classic tumblr edit where they make it a teen comedy? that’s honestly how the whole movie lives in my head
THANK YOU MY FRIEND i'm so glad we met because of this silly little newsletter!!!
oh my god YES i remember that edit!!!!!!! a classic! i just tried to go find it and tragically could not, which is such a bummer. but it's as iconic to me as fake andrew garfield/jesse eisenberg eharmony commercial
I am a relatively new reader of Boy Movies (I was introduced, serendipitously, by Sarah at a bachelorette party in August). I’m usually a quiet lurker on newsletters and blogs, but I felt compelled to say thank you to you today. This might sound silly and hyperbolic but I actually think nothing that I’ve ever read has made me feel as #seen as your Top Gun: Maverick newsletter. I felt understood as a girl who has seen it 9 times in theaters and is currently building a mini metal model of an F-18. I could not quite make sense of my deep devotion of it, and I certainly couldn’t justify it before reading your piece. Thank you for putting yourself out there and for making a really uncomfortable person feel a little more comfortable in their own skin. (Also, sorry if this is so psycho to post publicly, I could not figure out if there was a private, less embarrassing way to say this.)
omg… vishali i’m obsessed with this, don’t you dare apologize!!! first of all, hello to my maverick sister, nine times in theaters is the right amount of times 🫡 second, i’m truly agog at you building a mini f-18????? just as a hobby????? we need to get you on the phone with tom STAT. third, THANK YOU FOR READING!!!

omg!!! i hope that issue made you feel like you were there with us in spirit <3
Gads, I love everything about this. Especially the inside baseball stuff. Boy Movies is an unassailable premise. Pure genius.
Curious if you share the newsletter anywhere? I still feel self-conscious about that side of it. Congrats on your first year!!
