In this episode of The Big Picture, Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins dive into Bennett Miller’s Moneyball—arguably one of the century’s greatest sports films. They unpick its wild production backstory (yes, Steven Soderbergh was in the mix!), hail Brad Pitt’s career-best turn alongside Jonah Hill, and explain why this underdog story still hits hard.
Then they tackle Moneyball’s lasting impact—and the mystery of why Miller’s barely made waves since. Produced by Jack Sanders and sponsored by Starbucks, this chat is part of The Ringer’s yearlong countdown of the 25 best movies of the 21st century.

One of my most re-watchable movies. Surprised to see it this high up but it's a goodie.
