“Screwball” delves into the doping scandal that jolted Major League Baseball, showcasing Miami’s dark side that provided steroids to icons like Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez. At its heart is Anthony Bosch, a clinician with suspect credentials. He charts the trajectory of his health clinic, mob ties, financial deceptions, and Rodriguez’s quirks. The film uniquely casts child actors for adult roles.
Helmed by Billy Corben, “Screwball” merges documentary and dramedy, focusing on the 2013 Biogenesis doping saga. The story reveals deep-seated corruption from Bosch’s clinic to the MLB. Using reenactments and testimonies, the film captures the scandal’s breadth. While Alex Rodriguez remains notably absent, his chaotic past and bid to reclaim his name remain central.
