Nothing says Americana like baseball, cowboys, and creepy old-timey ghost dolls crawling out of a cornfield. In episode 42, we’re crossing over supernatural sports movie classic Field of Dreams and the original CGI feels-fest, Toy Story. Check us out on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher for our conversation about the awfulness of the word ‘mouthfeel,’ Americana as religion, toys committing crimes, and creepy dancing scarecrows. Also, Annie totally blanks on the name of Now and Then and will be forever ashamed.
Where you can find this pop culture (as of show date):
- Field of Dreams is now available to stream on Netflix
- Toy story is available to rent or buy on platforms like Amazon and iTunes
