Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Accidental Comedy to Arctic Grit: Anaconda, The Revenant, and The Edge
Q: So how do you feel about the characterizations and performances in the Edge?
It's better than a lot of what was going on in the 90s but at the same time it still feels like it lacks character depth.
From Accidental Comedy to Arctic Grit: Anaconda, The Revenant, and The Edge
Q: What was your relationship like with Anaconda prior to this conversation?
It was one of my first, like, popcorn movies before I understood what a popcorn movie was.
Wrestling On Film, From Beyond The Mat To The Iron Claw To The Wrestler
Q: What do you think of The Iron Claw vs. Beyond the Mat?
I think The Iron Claw isn't for wrestling fans due to its tone, focusing more on the Von Erich family's tragedy rather than wrestling itself.
Wrestling On Film, From Beyond The Mat To The Iron Claw To The Wrestler
Q: When's the first time you saw Beyond the Mat?
I remember seeing it as soon as it hit Blockbuster after its theatrical run, and I recall the semi-controversy surrounding its release, especially regarding Vince McMahon.
Carpenter Scores, Slashes, and Satire
Q: Are you going to watch it again?
Yes, this classic left a lasting impact and deserves multiple viewings for its unique themes.
