The Film Board gathers to take on this weekend’s new release, “42”. This Jackie Robinson biopic comes with some misgivings, not the least of which comes in writer-director Brian Helgeland’s script. The Board is moved somewhere between “stark and emotionless” to “Lifetime Movie of the Week” with this entry into cinema baseball-dom, with a few noted highlights: Chadwick Boseman and Nicole Beharie offer stand-out performances in this otherwise middling sports fare. Join Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Mike Evans, and Pete Wright for a conversation about baseball, great movie posters, and a little bit of Windows 8. Because of Andy.
