Lowball: America's Pastime (Mon March 2 through Sun March 8)

Movies and baseball: Easily the two best things this country ever invented. These films—hand-selected by baseball sickos—capture the sport in all its majesty and complexity, its strangeness and stupidity. One features one of the greatest Americans who ever lived playing himself in his own life story; another involves Robert DeNiro throwing a knife through a door because his team lost (relatable). Together, they might help you survive until opening day. Come early for a very good preshow!

Guest programmed by Lindsey Adler, Ellen Cushing, and Caroline Golum.
