It's time to explore the World According to Glenn. I'm Kevin Jacobsen, Glenn Close is my favorite actress, and this show is all about exploring the career of one of the finest actors of her generation. Each episode, I'm joined by a guest as we dive into one of Glenn's movies, TV shows, or stage productions, going chronologically through her career, discussing her performance and assessing the project itself.

This week, we're covering the Barry Levinson sports drama The Natural! Ben Miller from the blog IceCream4Freaks joins me to discuss the film's mythical approach to baseball, the immaculate cinematography, Kim Basinger playing a character named "Memo Paris," and why Glenn was singled out for her performance and earned her third consecutive Oscar nomination!
