Summary

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago & Ricky Valero. Today, we are reviewing the latest film from Sean Durkin, "The Iron Claw," starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, Holt McCallany & Lily James. Based on the unbelievable, tragic, but inspiring story of the Von Erich wrestling family, the film presents one of the darkest stories in the history of professional wrestling. What did we think of the story, how it was handled, the wrestling and its portrayal, the performances by the cast, and Durkin's direction? Tune in as we discuss these elements, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
