72: Michael Owen's Movie Club: Field of Dreams

Ep. 74
The boys are off on a tour of the UK this autumn - you can buy their tour merch here and have it arrive in time for the gigs. https://sdsb.beyondmerch.co.uk/ This week’s show is a bit different from the usual format. Welcome to our Movie Club – our spin off podcast series which is available at https://www.patreon.com/distantpod The former England, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Stoke striker Michael Owen has only watched 10 films in his life. So Mike, Elis and Steff are here to help him out with Sports Movies. Every month for the top two levels of our Patreon we pick a movie for Michael and chat about it... This time it's Mike's choice: Field of Dreams https://amzn.to/2VHT2a1 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
