A new documentary about the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers — to date, still the only Brewers team to play in a World Series — will have its big-screen debut exclusively at 12 Marcus Theatres in Wisconsin in September, Deadline.com reported Wednesday.
According to the entertainment industry news site, “Just a Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers” will debut Sept. 13. According to Marcus Theatres, the movie will be shown at the Hillside, Majestic, Menomonee Falls, North Shore, Ridge and South Shore cinemas in the Milwaukee area; Bay Park, Oshkosh and Valley Grand cinemas in the Green Bay/Fox Valley area; Point Cinema in Madison; Renaissance Cinema in Sturtevant; and Sheboygan Cinema in Sheboygan.
“We are thrilled that we’re able to share this compelling, emotional and just plain amazing story with Brewers fans in Wisconsin, and especially grateful to our partners at Marcus Theatres for letting fans see the triumph and heartbreak of the magical ’82 season play out on the big screen,” “Just a Bit Outside” producer Kelly Kahl told Deadline.
“Just a Bit Outside” recounts the story of that improbable Brewers season, when after a sub-.500 start the team fired manager Buck Rodgers, replaced him with hitting coach Harvey Kuenn, and the veteran-laden team started to take off. Battling injuries, the team won the American League East title on the final day of the season, then came back to win the AL Championship Series and go to the World Series to face the St. Louis Cardinals.
Among those interviewed for the documentary, according to Deadline, are Brewers stars Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Ted Simmons, Gorman Thomas, Rollie Fingers, Ben Oglivie, Jim Gantner, Cecil Cooper and Pete Vuckovich, as well as then-owner Bud Selig and Hall of Fame announcer Bob Uecker.
The documentary also explores Milwaukee’s love affair with the ’82 Brewers, including spontaneous parades celebrating the team when they won — and when they lost.
“The story is about the love affair between a down-on-its-luck blue-collar city, and a perfectly matched blue-collar team … one that continues to this day, 40 years later,” the movie’s official website says.
Kahl and producer-director Sean Hanish are both Wisconsin natives. Kahl, former president of CBS Entertainment, was born in Burlington and is a University of Wisconsin-Madison alum. Hanish grew up in Brookfield and studied film at UW-Madison.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
