2024-09-19 00:29:01 +0000 UTCFrom the moment Louden steps into Elmo's apartment to the end of the movie you can't take your eyes away. Also this soundtrack fucks. Thanks for covering a great sports movie.

2024-09-18 01:13:12 +0000 UTCI never really noticed before this Olympics but American women’s wrestling team is so good. Amit Elor and Kennedy Blades were so fun to watch.

2024-09-17 17:26:44 +0000 UTCI've always said: it's not really a movie unless "Lunatic Fringe" gets three needle drops
Lando Mo
2024-09-17 17:26:28 +0000 UTCI've been meaning to watch Win Win since it came out in...2011? That is wild that it came out over 12 years ago. Paul Giamatti, drama with high school wrestling, looks good.

2024-09-17 12:54:08 +0000 UTCI would’ve just taken Ben Steins money if given the offer.
Don Knott Steiner
2024-09-17 09:55:10 +0000 UTCBen Stein tried to buy coke off me and my friends. We were in a penthouse in DC, stinking the room up. Out of nowhere I hear his voice outside our door. Hey guys, Ben Stein is in the hallway.... Hes with a bellhop, pretends they got his room wrong (whoops, I'm on the 8th floor not the 7th) "Hey guys it smells pretty good in here" - "GOT ANYTHIHNG MORE INTERESTING???" We just smoked a joint with him and got a picture....but was he just trying random rooms? In hindsight we should have got coked to the gills with him

Megan
2024-09-17 02:32:58 +0000 UTCI'd say give wrestling of the non-professional variety a watch. They've done a lot of work on rules to keep matches moving and punish stalling. That's not to say every match will look like Silver medalist Kennedy Blades ending a woman via German suplex, but they're pretty entertaining. Plus, check out all the cool folk styles of wrestling. There's Mongolian Bökh, Senegalese Dambe, Korean Ssireum, Irish collar and tie wrestling. Just to name a few. I'm getting into watching Sumo because it real easy to watch nowadays thanks to the internet.

2024-09-17 02:02:16 +0000 UTCJust glad I could help. In other news my wife is divorcing me and I am very sad.
Richard Trickle
2024-09-17 01:12:59 +0000 UTCI’m from Spokane thanks for making me watch this finally. Texted some family about it turns out not one but TWO guys my aunt married are wrestling extras in the movie lol

2024-09-17 00:01:03 +0000 UTCThe only place I ever saw a peg board was in my elementary school gym. I don't think a lot of 5th graders were taking on the challenge. Someone would've had to lift us up to reach the first peg.

Ryan Stanger
2024-09-16 22:36:33 +0000 UTCOne of the crazier things I remember from The Marinovitch Project was him getting signed to the CFL and the equipment guy having to be like "you've shit all of your other pants.... this is the last pair. Of you shit these, you will have no other pants to wear" because he was so fucked up on heroin.

Jon Hamre
2024-09-16 21:08:17 +0000 UTCAs a proud Washingtonian I take umbrage at Stanger describing Spokane as “northern Washington”. It is Eastern Washington, or as it is known colloquially, Western Idaho.
Richard Trickle
2024-09-16 20:59:21 +0000 UTCI also tried climbing the peg board at the gym after watching this
Alec Ogg

Alec Ogg
2024-09-16 17:07:04 +0000 UTCThere is a huge wrestling renaissance going on now, especially for girls. I’m not sure if it’s because of MMA or jiu-jitsu but the sport is way more popular now than it was in the 90s and 00s. It’s still not to where it was in the 70s and 80s but it’s coming back for sure.

Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III
2024-09-16 16:01:59 +0000 UTCThe first 3/4 of this movie was a painful slog, then the cook’s Pelé monologue caught my attention. By the time Modine threw open the gym doors for his final match I was ALL IN.

2024-09-16 14:56:13 +0000 UTCHe’s killed early on. Full name is Roland Joseph Gomez, which I now realize is RoJoGo…
Conspiracy Bored
2024-09-16 14:52:46 +0000 UTCRoland “Rollo” Gomez is a main character in the mystery novel I’ve been writing for the last four years, so I’m losing my mind right now. “Rollo Gomez nursed his Pabst Blue Ribbon at the far end of the bar. His slumped, gaunt silhouette resembled a taper candle melting over the woven raffia sides of a bottle of chianti. He had the sunken eyes and exaggerated mouth of an intravenous drug user, with the plump, supple cheekbones of someone who proudly kicked the habit. Tattoos seemed to eat him, consuming dermal real estate like kudzu vines. They crept up his neck and behind his ear, constricting his forearms like a second set of sinew and veins. Spider webs of ink joined the pictographs on his wrists to the crude block letters on his digits that spelled out, 'KNUC TATS'. Unlike Bradbury’s ‘Illustrated Man,’ none of the images emblazoned on his body had a story or a reason to exist. They were merely tradecraft, meaningless graffiti that he wore without a hint of irony.”
Conspiracy Bored
2024-09-16 14:50:12 +0000 UTCAw yeah, Spokane's claim to cinematic fame, until "Benny And Joon" came out. So, still Spokane's claim to cinematic fame. Even if Madonna called it a "shithole" and said that she would never return. Harsh but fair.

bloodflart
2024-09-16 12:48:54 +0000 UTCLike other combat sports, wrestling is popular with Latinos and they fill the top ranks My high school (half Latino) was a 4a national wrestling school and the team was more popular than basketball, less than football

2024-09-16 12:37:02 +0000 UTCI worked with Ben Stein when CBS brought back Star Search with Arsenio Hall in 2002 at Hollywood Center Studios. Yes, he hit on all the hot female PAs, but the cooler thing that he did was he would do outgoing messages on our phones in the cadence of the teacher in Ferris Bueller and he would keep repeating your last name…”Perez, Perez, Perez…oh sorry Perez can’t come to the phone right now…”
Paul Perez

David McElroy
2024-09-16 11:04:53 +0000 UTCThis movie was fantastic. And not in an ironic way. Feels very much like a coming of age novel. I thought the dialogue was awesome and there are some truly funny edits. Yes Modine is at times problematically horny, but he’s also in high school… it happens. Also he’s so blindly optimistic in a way only a kid can be. Really no complaints, except the grandpa lives far enough away that you gotta camp overnight and it’s the weekend before the match and then the match is on Tuesday and you don’t bring him home with you and all the sudden grandpa’s at the match??? PLOT HOLE!

2024-09-16 11:01:16 +0000 UTCI always thought the Dennis Quaid movie Dreamscape was called Vision Quest. Not until I saw this in this months lineup.
