For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Andhadhun (2018), an Indian comedy-thriller-mystery about a blind pianist who, through a sequence of improbable events, becomes the only witness to a mysterious murder, and must now figure out a way to report the crime without casting suspicion upon himself. A series of schemes and manipulations follow as the parties involved try to outmaneuver each other. This is the best-known and best-regarded work to date of director Sriram Raghavan, and has received excellent reviews, so let’s check it out.

After that is The Sandlot (1993), a baseball-themed coming-of-age about the misadventures of a group of tween baseball players in the suburbs of 1962. They go on a bunch of misadventures around the neighborhood, involving treehouses, sleepovers, hot lifeguards, and a rival team from across town, all while building up their courage to deal with a monstrous dog lurking beyond the fence of their baseball field. This is the best-known and best-regarded film of director David Mickey Evans, who is otherwise known for, uhh, the Sinbad vehicle First Kid (1996). This is a beloved 90s classic, so we’ll give it a shot.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
