Around the Bases 2.18: Baseball Rivalries and Blockbuster Season Come Alive!

Send us a text

Summer nights are getting hotter as the Survivor finale approaches, baseball rivalries heat up, and blockbuster season kicks into high gear! Charlie and Tim dive into their final Survivor predictions, debating whether Joe's "winner's edit" means he'll take home the million or if Kyle and Eva still have fighting chances. The hosts analyze last week's shocking tribal council and share excitement for the milestone 50th season, rumored to include fan-favorite returnees.

Baseball takes center stage as the Cubs complete a satisfying sweep of the White Sox, outscoring their crosstown rivals 26-8 despite being out-homered. Meanwhile, the Mets show promise with victories against the Pirates, though their series against the Yankees raises questions about Juan Soto's seemingly diminished hustle since changing pinstripes. The hosts debate whether this is cause for concern or just part of Soto's established playing pattern.

Summer entertainment dominates the second half of the show with a comprehensive preview of upcoming blockbusters. Tom Cruise returns in the long-awaited Mission Impossible sequel, while Tim Robinson teams up with Paul Rudd for what promises to be one of the summer's funniest comedies. Other highlighted releases include the live-action Lilo & Stitch, a new John Wick universe film starring Ana de Armas (which received Cruise's personal endorsement), and Marvel's latest attempt at bringing the Fantastic Four to life.

The conversation wraps with a look at returning television favorites, including Stranger Things' final season and The Bear's highly anticipated new episodes. Charlie admits he's struggled to get into Stranger Things despite multiple attempts, prompting Tim to make a passionate case for giving the show another chance.

Check back next week as baseball season continues and our hosts share their thoughts on Mission Impossible after seeing it opening weekend!
