What Up Yo.

I am joined by my brother to discuss one of the greatest films we’ve ever seen…The Natural.

There are many clips, but this was done straight from memory, as we have consumed this film multiple times over the years…and it only gets better the more we watch it. Derek wrote a beautiful article on the film previously; you can find that here:

This is pure American cinema, an homage to the great sport of baseball that only a film made with such passion and love could bring me to relate to…as I’m just not a sports guy, people.
