Saturday Night Popcorn is back with another special episode of Sunday Morning Hangover where we dive into the fascinating world of bodybuilding and the films that document it. We will be discussing the 1977 classic Pumping Iron, which follows Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno as they compete for the title of Mr. Olympia, and the 2013 film Generation Iron, which features modern bodybuilding stars such as Phil Heath, Kai Greene, and Branch Warren. We will compare and contrast the two films, explore the evolution of the sport and the culture, and share our opinions on the personalities, the training, and the drama that make bodybuilding so compelling. Join us as we pump up our popcorn and watch these two iconic films.
*Spoiler Warning* As a general warning we discuss the film in detail and often will comment on scenes or aspects of the film that could spoil it for a listener who has not seen the film we are discussing.
You can follow us on Letterboxd profiles to read our reviews and see what we have on our watchlist.
