BLOCKBUSTER BUFFS

Season 5: MVPs – Clear Eyes, Buff Guys, Can’t Lose

Episode 2: VON ERICHS VS. EVERYBODY – The Iron Claw (2023)

Hosts: Matt and Joe

Guest: Jacob Hall

Movie: The Iron Claw (2023)

This week, we step into the squared circle with The Iron Claw, the heartbreaking A24 biopic about the rise and fall of the legendary Von Erich wrestling family.

We’re joined in person by special guest Jacob Hall, who shocked us all by being a legit pro wrestling historian (seriously, the man knew what a heel turn was before puberty). His deep fandom added layers we didn’t expect—and needed—for a movie that’s about way more than piledrivers and promos.

What can you expect?

• What Did You Watch This Week – The usual chaos, with a few sleeper hits.
• Snap Synopsis – Fast, furious, and emotionally suplexed.
• Dunk or Defend – Are we crying because it’s beautiful or because we got body slammed by feelings?
• Ranking – Sports season rankings get shaken up after this one.

If you’ve ever loved a sport too much, or just want to see Zac Efron bulk up for trauma, this episode’s for you.
