If you're used to seeing Gary Busey as an evil, crazy villain, then seeing him as an affable father figure could be a shock. But then again, he DID start off his career by exclusively playing nice guys.
Loved him in Point Break(1991) with Keanu Reeves.
THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY....
Actually earned an Oscar nomination for portraying the tragic 50's singer!❤
@@chasehedges6775 he's great in predator 2 as well!
I can't tell if you mean nice guys or _nice guys_
Yep. You’re right again Trina. Good for you.
80s: Fighting and Boxing Movies
90s: Baseball Movies
2000s: Basketball Movies
2010s-2020s: Video Game Movies (God save us from the Minecraft movie)
Man, how we have evolved
Lol 2000s Basketball movies makes me like of Like Mike
2010s is superhero movies, 70s is ganster/crime flicks, 60s and earlier are westerns.
I’d say early 90s was baseball but late 90s had basketball take over with Space Jam and Air Bud.
@@chasehedges6775 and yet it still won't make the Minecraft movie or Borderlands any good. Side note I hope Doug reviews the sandlot at some point
A Inspired Fact: Daniel Stern was inspired to direct this movie because it deals with kids who have to deal with fame and being controlled by adults as managers who make all of their decisions for them. He experienced that a lot on the set of Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York observing how his co-star Macaulay Culkin was dictated by his domineering father and wanted to direct a movie that paralleled his real life observances.
Rather sad
Very tragic, but good on him. He is a pretty good actor for his roles and honestly hearing this tells me he gives a shit about those he works with.
Daniel Stern just got more respectful in my mind.
I found myself going "Didn't he do this one?" But then went, "Oh, i'm thinking of Kid in King Arthur's Court
Even the classic NC review of that movie is better than the actual movie
@@hellboyrp6115 A cat in Bea Arthur’s cooch!
Not that movie💀
@@theoguncleslappy9150 It's mainly due to the fact that Thomas Ian Nicholas stars in both, i even went back and watched NC's review.
Don’t you mean “A bat in Bea Arthur’s cooch?”
Believe it or not, the late movie critic Roger Ebert gave this movie 3 out of 4 stars and describe it like so:
I was absolutely lousy in Little League. I was a sub for one season, screwing up every play I was involved in. I stopped out there in the middle of right field, squinting into the sun, hoping desperately that the ball would not come my way. If it did, I didn't use my glove to catch it. I used the glove for protection. I was, in fact, a lot like Henry Rowengartner, the 12-year-old hero of "Rookie of the Year." It seemed like the other kids had always known how to play baseball, and that I would never know. When I was a kid, I think I might have liked "Rookie of the Year" a lot. I am no longer a kid, and this movie is not likely to make my list of the year's best, but I can remember those miserable Little League games and so in a modest way I'm grateful for this film. It is pure wish-fulfillment, 40 years after I needed it.
Loved his several blockbuster flicks myself 😊
It's not a bad movie. Silly, absolutely, but it's enjoyable.
And he gave 3.5 stars to Little Big League!
Two weeks until Nostalgiaween
I hope he reviews Maleficent 2 at some point. Loved Elle Fanning as Aurora in that movie
silver shamrock
@@shioq. I can't wait for nostalgiaween! And cinemassacre's monster madness!!
The Nostalgiaween opening should reference Beyond Belief.
LFG
“We want a pitcher not an underwear snitcher!” That line will never not make me smile when I hear it.
@juliannagoodwin2875 for me it was funky butt lovin
Back when a 12-year-old kid with a major league fastball was considered more likely than the Cubs winning the World Series.
2016 was cursed.
@@Jeremy_theGent a lot of strange things started or happened in 2016. Harambee haunts us all ! Lol
They’re still only half as bad as the Yankees.
9:14
BEST. LINE. EVER.😂🤣
Not only that, literally his only pitch was the heater with no movement. He wouldn't last more than one inning with today's hitters. Also, they were playing the Mets for the Pennant, not the World Series. The Mets and Cubs are both National League.
HA!!
John Candy as Cubs announcer Cliff Murdoch. He did the role as a favor to Stern (who was struggling to cast the role) and because he wanted to appear in the movie.
...and because they were gay for each other. Secretly dated for at least 3 years.
@@GaryTongue-zn5dishut your face
@@GaryTongue-zn5diThat escalated quickly
I'm convinced Doug lived under a rock to not know of anyone who loved Rookie of the Year. Almost everyone I know can quote this movie!
I have a theory that Doug's fascination with children's media stems from the fact that he never was one.
@@FucTrump I'm just saying. He and I are only a few years apart and he missed out on a LOT of shows and movies. Most of Disneycember, I'm sitting there scratching my head yelling, "HOW DID YOU NOT SEE THIS?"
Another Fun Fact: Following the film's release, Thomas Ian Nicholas threw out the first pitch at multiple Cubs games and was also invited to sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" multiple times during the customary 7th-inning stretch at Wrigley Field. During the 2015 National League Championship Series where the Cubs faced the Mets as they did in the movie, he attended Game 4 in a Rowengartner #1 jersey similar to what he wore during the film unfortunately the Cubs lost 8-3 knocking them out of the postseason.
Me and my dad met him at a con several years ago to get a autograph for his World Series Dvd. He had mentioned he went to some of the games sadly not the ones they had won though. He also said filming at Wrigley was his fav moment of being part of the film. 😁
I was at that game. It rained so hard towards the end.
Fun fact: Henry's played by the same kid from A Kid in King Arthur’s Court.
Oh shoot, now I need to try to forget that movie exists again.
OH Darn.
At least this movie is better.
Funner Fact: It's actually the Sequel.
@@chasehedges6775 the review for that movie is better than the movie lol
@@nocheckmarkgames there's a sequel?!
Another Fun Fact: When Henry gets called into his first game, the catcher that tells him he is up is played by W. Earl Brown. Brown would later go on to play a character, Warren, who is obsessed with finding his baseball in There's Something About Mary.
0:31 That’s why baseball has been called ‘America’s Favorite Pastime’
2:59
I just felt bad for poor George because of the disdain in the mother's voice when she said hello to him
he looks like the stereotypical boy that looks like a troublemaker so it kind of works.
Sounded more uncomfortably sultry than disdain
@@47Cartoonguy the first kid yes, but the second one.....creepy.
Yeah that was more sexual than it should have been 🤢
2:59 Hello George...
Hello Clark.
*We all didn't like what she said that, Critic*
Clark found out the meaning of a *"cougar"* that day.
Forget Mr Nanny how about don't tell mom the babysitter's dead 😁
Another Fun Fact: When Henry's mother (Amy Morton) is celebrating Henry scoring a run after being walked, she hits her head on the lamp hanging above her (at around 57:45 mins). Morton obviously didn't mean to do this: she is visibly hurt and after sitting down mutters "oh... shit" (at 57:49, which is dubbed out on the audio, you have to lip-read).
A Door Fact: When Henry first goes to Wrigley Field as a pitcher, he goes to the players entrance. When he knocks on the door to be let in, an old man pokes his head through a hole in the door. At first he doesn't let Henry in, then Henry reveals who he is, and the old man says, "Well that's a horse of a different color," which is the same thing that was said in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy and the gang get to Oz.
That was SOOOOOOO obvious ya think Doug would have caught that!!
@@ChrisOnStage2 What makes you think he didn't? No one says everything they thought or realized during this. Probably just wasn't something he thought he could make an insightful comment or a joke about.
When Henry's mom celebrates Henry scoring his first run, she smacks her head on an overhead light. This was unplanned; Amy Morton legitimately smacked her head on it. You can see her start to mouth "Oh, shit" as the scene begins to cut, which is funny because that scene also contained the film's actual precision "Shit"-strike".
One step closer to a Nostalgia Critic review of Little Big League.
Or Little Giants, I want him to review that so bad
John Candy in a small role as the stadium announcer. I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. It used to air a lot on Disney.
Small Role my ass. He has like 20 minutes of screentime.
@@GaryTongue-zn5diand he’s uncredited
Another Fun Fact: 23 years after the film's release, the Chicago Cubs would go on to win the 2016 World Series in seven games against the Cleveland Indians, coming back from a 3-1 series deficit to win the series 4-3 (including a 8-7 win in 10 innings in Game 7 at Progressive Field in Cleveland). It marked the Cubs' first World Series championship in 108 years. Thomas Ian Nicholas celebrated the win on Twitter by posting the final shot from the film, showing Henry holding up his Cubs World Series ring to the camera.
Another Fun Fact: Actress Colombe Jacobsen-Derstine, who plays Becky aka Henry's love interest, is a native of Chicago IL. Additionally, her next two film roles after Rookie of the Year were in another popular sports film franchise as Julie "The Cat" Gaffney in D2 and D3: The Mighty Ducks.
*Series, not franchise, dumbass. Learn the difference, and that wasn't her next two, idiot. She did several films in-between duck movies.
I was wondering why she looked familiar!
I forgot Jan Itor dabbled in baseball for a bit.
So, now that you reviewed a baseball movie, is it possible to review The Sandlot as a means to honor the recent passing of James Earl Jones?
“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.”
- The Ghost of Babe Ruth
Or Field of Dreams
@@chasehedges6775don't make me cry 😭😭😭
@@chasehedges6775Yep That’s an quote for the ages
I wonder if the writers realized that "funky butt loving" was the only line that most people would remember from this movie thirty years later. Memes have always been with us, even before they had a name.
"Hot ice! I heat up the ice cubes. It's the best of both worlds."
"WINDERMERE!!!"
This movie is the reason the Cubs lost the NLCS 10 years later, it wasn’t Steve Bartman’s fault, it was Rookie of the Year
You forgot to show “pitcher’s got a big butt” when the kid was trying to psych out the other team. I remember that being in the commercials.
We need a Little Big League review too!
I also suggest the sandlot and little giants with Rick Moranis!
@@kdusel1991i would love a little giants one
Also Ed and The Scout
7:20
Wow, the first Zuul reference since Critic's review of Ghostbusters... which ironically was only a week ago
Well you see Doug, angels aren't allowed to help in championship games. It's like their only rule other than not showing up if the team swears too much.
It was the NLCS, not the World Series. The Cubs can’t play the Mets in the World Series. We saw them GET to the World Series by winning the National League Pennant.
I have been wondering since I was 8-years-old how the Cubs won the World Series without their 2 best pitchers.
Slight correction. That wasn’t the World Series but the NL Championship. They implied that they went on to win the series with the ring he is wearing at the end. I also hate myself that I know that lol
I also hate myself in that regard as well.
If I had a nickel for every time Daniel Stern got stuck between two doors in a movie, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
To quote the late great Norm McDonald and something I’m sure Daniel Stern might be thinking about is “I always told everybody the perfect joke would be where the setup and punch line were identical”
is that the "fuck you lucky charms" kid from leprechaun?
"i heat up the ice cubes, it's the best of both worlds!"
still lives rent free in my head all these years later.
I blame the Sandlot for gaslighting me into believing baseball was fun to play and watch.
Another Fun Fact: When Henry has to take his first AB (against the L.A. Dodgers), the pitcher in that scene (Tregoraw) is Tim Stoddard. Stoddard was a technical adviser for the baseball scenes in the movie. Coincidentally, Stoddard was actually a pitcher for the Cubs in real life, he pitched on the '84 Cubs team that won the NL East title (and eventually lost to the San Diego Padres in the NLCS).
Thank you, Google.
The Bad News Bears (1976) is not only the best baseball movie, but one of the best sports film of all time.
Another Cubs Fact: 22 years after this film was released, the Cubs faced the Mets in the 2015 NLCS, as portrayed in the final scenes of the movie. Unfortunately, the Cubs lost the series four games to zero. However, the very next year, the Cubs would go on to finally win the World Series, their first since 1908, ending an MLB record 108-year drought.
Honestly if Doug does anymore advertisements for Legacybox, he should bring back the talking box.
That was freaking genius
6:43 - Cinema Snob: "There will be no whacking in this movie!"
Another Fun Fact: In 1993, Rowengartner would have been making $109,000 minimum as a rookie baseball player. ($193,537.99 in 2019)
When a what-if video on UA-cam some 25+ years later ends up being the best thing to come from this film.
A Mets hitter, an effus pitch, and...
SEEEEE YAAAAA!😂❤
Always love that bit when Henry taunts the guy with chicken noises and then the baseman joins in.
There's good comedic timing in that one. Makes me laugh.
A Moved Fact: A year after the film's release, the Chicago Cubs moved from the National League's East Dvision to the newly formed Central Division that saw the implementation of an expanded playoffs that added a Wild Card team, along with the three divisional champions. The new format was delayed until 1995 due to the player's strike.
The Montreal Expos got screwed
As a kid playing baseball at this time, I wanted this to happen to one of my team mates(becoming a good pitcher) I was the catcher, and they were all a little “wild” with their pitchers.
A Original Fact: The studio originally wanted Daniel Stern to cast Joe Pesci as Chet Steadman or in the role of the baseball commentator but Stern felt if Pesci was cast many audiences and critics would unfavorably compare his film to the first two Home Alone films which to date remain the most successful films of Stern's acting career. Although Stern is also friends with Pesci in real life he declined the studios suggestion wanting to have his film be somewhat distanced from the Home Alone universe so Gary Busey was cast as Chet instead, and although John Candy was in the first Home Alone he was not originally supposed to have a role in this movie. He happened to be visiting nearby the set and asked Stern if he could play a small role and Stern agreed because being that Candy also had a relatively small role in Home Alone and since the two were friends he felt it wouldn't cause comparisons between this movie and the aforementioned.
My Wife and I just watched this movie and she asked "Why did thy make so many sports kids movies in the 1990s?" And me being older then her I said back "Because in the 90s'(and 80s) kids could do anything!" and she rolled her eyes and said "You got one more shot" so I played Angels in the Outfield and she loved it. But seriously this movie was nuts!
How much do you wanna bet Doug is actually a Chicago White Sox fan and trash talking The Cubs is just him coping with the actual worse baseball in Chicago. Go O's.
To be honest if he was he would have to cry during Eight men out where minus Shoeless Joe Jackson didn’t take the money but got screwed
41% on rotten tomatoes
“It gets some laughs from its novel premise, but a high strikeout rate on jokes and sentimental fouls keeps this comedy firmly in the minor leagues.”
Man the 1990s was a weird time for small boys and older women
💯💯
The 2020s have been even stranger, IMO
@@chasehedges6775 yeah
Different climates for sure now
We all lose our heads if the genders were reversed
Becomes a straight up horror movie
Yeesh….
Another Fun Fact: Except for once, Martinella gets Henry's last name wrong. He calls him the following: Rulingfurter, Gardenhoser, Raviboozer, Rosinbagger, Runnamucker, Rowengartner, Rulengruder, Rosenburger.
My fave was: Rosenburger
This was one of my families FAVORITE movies as a kid. You know, the one where everyone says lines in unison and laughs for no reason, having way more fun than you logically should.
*Totally surprised he didn't do Sandlot considering recent events. RIP James Earl Jones* 😔
It's nice to see all the love John Candy has gotten since his passing because he truly was one of a kind and such a amazing actor and person
PRETTY PLEASE, IT IS THE DAY 353 WAITING FOR THE ,,G-force " MOVIE REVIEW BY THE ,,Nostalgia Critic" HIMSELF! PLEASE SEE THIS Doug!
He's not gonna review it the more you keep posting this same comment on every review
And how do you suposse to convince him if not with counting days?
@@havdroid9769 it's not like he's reading all the comments lol. He's very busy
Huhu! Guinea pig spies are funny
Another Studio Fact: The studio also suggested Daniel Stern's The Wonder Years co-star Fred Savage for the role of Henry but Stern thought he was too old for the role and because The Wonder Years was in its final season while this movie was being filmed Fred had wanted to take a small break after working on the series for five years.
That would have been interesting on a meta level. having Fred Savage and Daniel Stern acting opposite of each other.
Pitchers got a big butt
Another Fun Fact: At least 1 person from each of the 3 theatrically-released 'Home Alone' films appeared in this film. Home Alone featured Daniel Stern and John Candy, who appeared in this film. "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" featured Daniel Stern and Eddie Bracken, who appeared in this film. "Home Alone 3" featured Neil Flynn, who appeared in this film. Eddie Bracken and Neil Flynn also appeared in "Baby's Day Out".
Think I heard somewhere Stern kept getting Rickma stuck in places so he could have an excuse to keep him out of scenes so he could focus on directing. Also for 90s baseball movies, the real-life son of the mother in Little Big League plays for the Cubs
Another Fun Fact: Thomas Ian Nicholas, who plays Henry Rowengartner in this movie, would also go on to star as a baseball player in "A Kid in King Arthur's Court" two years later.
Following the Cubs win over the Cleveland Indians in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series to win their first championship since 1908, Nicholas (in celebration) tweeted the final shot from the movie of Henry showing his Cubs World Series ring.
Furthermore, director Daniel Stern briefly reprised his role of Brickma following the win.
A Cool Fact: Director Daniel Stern worked with Joe Pesci in Home Alone and in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York". John Candy, Stern, and Pesci all appeared in the first film while Eddie Bracken, Stern, and Pesci all appeared in the second film. Candy and Pesci also appeared in "JFK", but not in any scenes together in either film. Gary Busey appeared in "Lethal Weapon", and Pesci appeared in all 3 sequels to that film.
How did they win the World Series if he lost his powers and the veteran pitcher threw his arm out in the NLCS? That's always bothered me!
They probably fought the Cleveland Indians lol
Another Fun Fact: John Candy, as the radio broadcaster, is uncredited. His role isn't mentioned in the movie credits because he wasn't originally cast in the movie.
Another Fun Fact: The scene of Henry, his mom and friends parking and walking into to his doctor's office is filmed in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago.
I Was Right!!
@@kaiumeda6341 Me 2. GARDENHOSER! LOL
I don't
@@treybradshaw1624what’s a garfenhoser?
@@kaiumeda6341 meant type GARDENHOSER. Fixed it
To this day, my nephews and I still quote: “Funky buttloving!” “Did he just say funky buttloving??”
As a White Sox fan, I appreciate all the jabs at the cubs.
Considering your season this year, you deserve a win
@@invidatauro8922 true. And I live in Cincinnati. It’s rough

Even as a kid I always thought it was weird the way she said that.
I want a Cool Runnings review so badly. I don't like sports movies, but Cool Runnings is the only exception
Cool Runnings is GOLD. John Candy is great
No problem, man.
I really hope he'll do the Babe films one day
@@chasehedges6775 Cool Runnings is awesome!! Love that movie!!
@@masterknife8423me too! Babe Pig in the City is honestly a great film!
I watched this movie ALL THE TIME growing up. Somehow, we had both this and Angels in the Outfield on VHS. Seeing as it took our family longer than most to get cable (growing up in BFE will do that), videotapes were our pop culture lifeline.
This was always a fun one to watch.
The Cubs really are the rookies of the year.
When I broke my wrist in the 2nd grade, this was the movie my dad and I watched during what would have been my baseball game the following afternoon. This movie will always have a soft spot as one of my favorite memories with my dad!
Can't remember the last time you made the "I'm acting!" joke.
Gary busey is actually quite charming in the scenes with the mom
As a White Sox fan it's nice to see the Cubs getting so bad they're hiring kids to pitch
At least Kids wouldn’t take money from the mob
Shoot now, your white sox might need them to play for yall lol
Daniel Stearns delivery of the “Hot Ice” line is such a core memory for me
Fun Fact: This is the only film directed by Daniel Stern.
For some bizzare reason, I didn't know that Gary Busey and Daniel Stern were in this film. Then again I was only six at the time and it wasn't like I could connect faces to the actor at that time.
Wait a minute is that the kid from Disney's A Kid in King Arthur's Court? Wow Doug reviewed that one a long time ago!
Man we’ve haven’t gotten a “I’m acting “ joke in a long time”!!
Damn, you went the whole review without doing an American Pie gag?
This, Sandlot, and Angels in the Outfield came out when I was 6-7 years old, and I loved all three of them. I hadn't seen this one since I was younger, so I enjoyed this look back at it!
Another Fun Fact: Director Daniel Stern co-starred with John Candy in Home Alone and with Eddie Bracken in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York though he never appeared on screen with them in either movie. The three of them star in Rookie of the Year and again do not appear on screen together. Except for a brief scene where Henry and Brickma are headed to the pinball machine, they appear behind Mr. Carson who is on the dance floor.
This movie was released 23 years before the ACTUAL Cubs won MLB championship in 2016
Oh come on you pick a baseball film from 1993 and it’s not The Sandlot what’s wrong with you?! Especially in memory of James Earl Jones
This movie also served as the only way the Chicago Cubs could win the World Series, up until 2016 that is.
Another Fun Fact: In both little league games, Henry wears jeans instead of normal uniform pants. He is the only one wearing them.
fun fact: you make me set comments to "more recent"
BASKETBALL was the bridge between the 90s Baseball movies and the 2000s Basketball movies.
BASEketball
BASEketball is awesome
A Washing Machine Fact: When Henry is throwing the laundry packs into the washing machine, he says that it's full count but when he threw it in, he said strike 1 rather than strike three.
“Which one of you wants to get arrested for dating my friend?” 💀
Rookie of the Yeeaar!!! Now THAT's a callback to my younger days. LOL
Back then, as a kid in the '90s Rookie of the Year and Angels in the Outfield were really competitive in which could deliver the most schmaltzy Major League-affiliated baseball movie involving wish fulfillment for hard-luck kids also targeted at kid audiences. XD
Finally, something Nostalgic!
I remember questioning the logic of how this kid getting an arm injury and somehow gaining the ability to throw a ball that far and fast even when I was young
Review Coming to America (1988).
Less than 24 hours ago, i was joking about how you gotta heat up the ice cubes after i sprained my ankle hiking.
