18 - The Wrestler (2008)
With Tim in Ireland Ben enlists a tag team of special guests, returning champ Nick (Nyid07) and Jeremy (jmball321) to talk Darren Aronofsky's 2008 masterpiece "The Wrestler". We get into the coolness of pro wrestling, the world that the movie captures in downright uncanny detail, Aronofsky as the dumb guy GOAT, suggest Necro Butcher matches to watch on YouTube and of course we remember so many guys. Also discussed: Stone Cold, The Truman Show, Project Hail Mary, The Alabama Solution, Den of Thieves, Killers of the Flower Moon and the work of Jean Claude Van Dam along with so much more. The Spring of Love will kick off next week when Tim returns for us to talk both the original and the remake of Solaris. Thanks to Disco for the show art and to Eric for the theme song. Support local wrestling where you live. Letterboxed: DeadFormatPod Bluesky: DeadFormatPod
