Biggs and Aaron travel back to the turn of the century to witness the best that ever was (if only he hadn't gotten shot by a lady and/or had learned the lessons of ancient lore) with The Natural. We talk about mythology and representation, we talk about a man in his 40's pretending he is a teenager (that's Robert Redford, not Wilford Brimley ...), and we talk about the importance of independent film companies. We cap it all off with a look at one of the more iconic finales to a sports movie ever. From iconic cinematography to the historic implications of smashing the lights out at a baseball game there is plenty to learn all the way to the end; check it out!
