398 The Natural Part 1
On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha put on their New York Knights jerseys and travel back to 1984 to explore THE NATURAL. A film we discussed early in the show's run and one that the fans have asked us to revisit and do a deeper dive on. Starring Robert Redford as the iconic baseball hero Roy Hobbs, Glenn Close, Kim Basinger, Barbara Hershey, Wilford Brimley, Richard Farnsworth, Robert Prosy, Darren McGavin, and Michael Madsen. Directed by Barry Levinson and based on the book by Bernard Malamud with a score from Randy Newman, the film was nominated for four Academy Awards: Actress in a Supporting Role (Glenn Close), Cinematography (Caleb Deschanel), Art Direction, and Music (Randy Newman).
