Natey & Katy: At the Movies

"Send us a Text!"

Get ready to step into the ring with cinema's heavyweight as we unpack the raw emotion and timeless narrative of "On the Waterfront." You’ll feel the tension of Marlon Brando's powerful portrayal of an ex-prizefighter who stands up to corruption, and you might just discover a new perspective on Ava Marie Saint's screen debut. Katy joins me to offer her fresh insights on this classic film, sharing her very first Brando encounter, while we both marvel at the movie's historical sweep at the Oscars. Our conversation will leave you pondering the film's iconic lines and their impact on the lexicon of pop culture.
Then, shift scenes with us to the ancient world of "Ben-Hur" as we honor the epic that is as grand in scale as its lead, Charlton Heston. We'll reflect on his unforgettable performances and the movie's enduring legacy in the cinematic pantheon. As the curtain falls on May, we celebrate the stories that have shaped our understanding of underdogs and contenders, closing with a powerful quote from "On the Waterfront" that still resonates as a battle cry for the overlooked and underestimated. Join Katy and I for this heartfelt journey, where the past illuminates the present in the world of classic film.
