The movie
Show notes
This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes head back to 1980 with "Everybody Wants Some!!", Richard Linklater’s laid-back, jock-fueled follow-up (spiritually, at least) to "Dazed and Confused". Mike Field, a longtime Linklater fan, is all in on the film’s nostalgic energy, naturalistic dialogue, and character-driven charm. Mike Butler? Not so much. While he appreciates the strong direction and rising-star performances from stars such as Glen Powell, Tyler Hoechlin, and Wyatt Russell, the movie’s hyper-specific focus on male bonding and college baseball culture doesn’t fully land. Still, there’s no denying the talent on display or Linklater’s knack for capturing the rhythm of a time and place. Is "Everybody Wants Some!!" a dugout classic, or just a foul ball that looks like a homerun? What's your favorite Linklater film?
