Happy National Pistachio Day! Just digging trying to say something different than happy Tuesday again. It’s new podcast movie review day too. Today Matt and Mike review a heartwarming film about wrestling, Fighting with My Family. Off topics include Mike Talent’s 2020 bid for President, the Academy Awards, and Arizona’s Snowpocalypse 2019.
Fighting with My Family is a fun and emotional comedy perfect for a night out with friends. You don’t have to be a fan of wrestling or even sports to enjoy this movie. Vince Vaughn and Nick Frost both known for their comedic roles knocked it out of the park with dramatic roles in this film. The Rock pops in twice adding a bit of levity during very serious moments. Matt would like to see more wrestling in the film including Paige’s rise through the ranks of NXT eventually winning the NXT Women’s Championship belt. Mike Talent gives Fighting with My Family 3 out of 5 Reels. He really enjoyed the story especially how different it was. You do not see many movies about wrestling let alone wrestling families. Matt enjoyed the film as well but felt it was just a little bit above average. He gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels. The acting was great, the story was great, he just felt it needed more wrestling.
Coming up on Thursday Matt and Mike review a mystery horror film that lit up Sundance this year, Velvet Buzzsaw by Dan Gilroy writer and director of Nightcrawler. Review the film with us, Velvet Buzzsaw is currently streaming on Netflix. Chat at you on Thursday.
