Los directores, Judd Apatow y Michael Bonfiglio enfocan sus cámaras directo a una esperada reunión entre Dwight “Doc” Gooden y Darryl Strawberry. Los dos ex jugadores de los New York Mets recuerdan el título de la Serie mundial de 1986 y también todos los obstáculos que tuvieron que superar mientras intentaron cumplir con las expectativas de una base de fanáticos muy exigente.

Quand ils étaient bons, ils étaient les stars de New York et des World Series 1986. Mais quand ils étaient mauvais, Doc Gooden et Darryl Strawberry ont brisé le cœur des fans des Mets, comme le raconte ce documentaire évocateur, mais intense, réalisé par Judd Apatow (Crazy Amy) et Michael Bonfiglio (You Don't Know Bo). Dans un restaurant de Queens, le lanceur et le frappeur se remémorent la gloire des années 1980 et les soirées tourmentées qui les ont vus plonger dans la dépendance. En écoutant leurs témoignages et leurs regrets, on ne peut que se demander ce que ces deux hommes très différents seraient devenus s'ils ne s'étaient pas lancés dans le même parcours destructeur.

When they were good, they were the biggest stars on a team that captured New York City and the 1986 World Series. But when they were bad, Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry broke the hearts of Mets fans. "They were going to be our guys for years," laments Jon Stewart in this evocative yet searing 30 for 30 documentary directed by Judd Apatow ("Trainwreck") and Michael Bonfiglio ("You Don't Know Bo"). Reunited at a diner in Queens, the pitcher and the power hitter look back on the glory days of the mid-'80s and the harrowing nights that turned them from surefire Hall of Famers into prisoners of their own addictions. Listening to Doc talk about missing the parade down the Canyon of Heroes, or Darryl counsel others at his ministry, you can only wish that these two very different men had not followed the same destructive path.

Quando eles eram bons, eram as maiores estrelas de uma equipe que capturou a cidade de Nova York e a Série Mundial de 1986. Mas quando eram ruins, Doc Gooden e Darryl Strawberry partiram o coração dos fãs do Mets. "Eles deveriam ser nossos caras por anos", lamenta Jon Stewart neste documentário evocativo dirigido por Judd Apatow ("Descompensada") e Michael Bonfiglio ("You Don't Know Bo").
