I can’t believe I haven’t read “The Art of Seduction” yet. Well, that’s changed! Skimmed throughout the nine types and their summaries, currently reading more in depth on each type and then the eighteen “victims of seduction” types.

It’s fun to try and figure out which type I am and some of my friends are…. though, I think I may fall under “the anti-seducer” LOL (not pictured here because I hit the 10 picture limit, it’s not technically a seducer type anyways. Here’s the definition:

“Seducers draw you in by the focused, individualized attention they pay to you. Anti-Seducers are the opposite: insecure, self-absorbed, and unable to grasp the psychology of another person, they literally repel. Anti- seducers have no self awareness, and never realize when they are pestering, imposing, talking too much. They lack the subtlety to create the promise of pleasure that seduction requires.”

If that’s not me, idk what is LOL. Especially the “never realize when they are pestering, imposing or talking too much”. Actually- sure, just say people with Autism are the ultimate anti-seducers 😫😂

My fiancé thinks I’m either “The Siren” or “The Coquette” though, but thinks it’s hilarious how much that part of the anti-seducer definition is totally me 😅

We welcome Dan Wade of the @WheelOfRandy podcast to the show to talk about the Robert Redford baseball movie with a Randy Newman score. There's a lot of Arthurian myth talk, too, so this is a stealth Hollywood Avalon episode.

We talk baseball--a lot of baseball--Randy Newman, and mythology in an episode that goes into extra innings. Hope you enjoy, as we have to go on a hiatus for a little while, but we’ll be back soon.

The Natural (1984). A middle-aged unknown comes seemingly out of nowhere to become a legendary baseball player with almost supernatural talent.

More than anything, this movie is just kind of silly. It lacks narrative tension, is overly long, and doesn't work as an underdog story given his obstacles are entirely external to him. He never really fails - rather just has opportunity taken away from him - and that makes it not really for me. Still, Robert Redford is always watchable, and Glen Close is always welcome. 4/10.
