Show notes

This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, we open with the Peanuts as we mourn the passing of Tommy John. The Crosstown Classic is wrapped for 2026, with the Cubs taking two of three from the Sox at Wrigley and Pete Crow‑Armstrong further cementing his case for National League MVP. Tom officially bids farewell to the Tigers’ 2026 season.

In the Popcorn, we’ve got two excellent films to break down. We begin with Tom’s selection, Brian De Palma’s stylishthriller Body Double (1984). Then we turn to my choice, Stanley Kubrick’s first feature film, the taut and meticulously constructed noir The Killing (1956).

Next Show’s Films:

• Tom’s Pick: The Elephant Man (1980)

• Leo’s Pick: Apocalypto (2006)
