Josh is joined by recurring guests Elijah Howard and Haley Jones for a double feature of two of 2023’s best films. First (Beginning-1:16:44), they discuss Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” and talk all about Emma Stone’s Oscar-nominated performance in the lead role in which she has to do everything from playing a baby to well-adjusted adult, the film’s use of sexuality in a non-exploitative way that moved the story along, the unique visual feel of the movie and much more! Then (1:16:45-End), Josh and Elijah break kayfabe and jump into the world of 80s and 90s wrestling as they break down “The Iron Claw” including Zac Efron’s transformational performance as wrestler Kevin Von Erich, the film’s effectiveness at taking the audience beyond the curtain as depicting the business of wrestling while also showing the taxing toll it took on the Von Erich family and much more!
