Nostalgia Trap - Ep 380: Field of Homosocial Dreams w/ Justin Rogers-Cooper

Nostalgia Trap

Jan 12 2024 • 1 hr 10 mins

This week Justin and I discuss the 1989 tearjerker Field of Dreams, a film about ghosts playing baseball in some guy’s backyard that endures as a beloved classic of American cinema. What’s going on with  that? As a lifelong devotee of the film, Justin articulates why Field of Dreams hits so hard, as we explore how the secular religious magic of baseball and movies intermingle with dreams of capitalist and socialist utopias.
