Do you love wrestling? Sure, we all do (citation needed)! In this week's episode we watch the 1999 wrestling documentary, Beyond the Mat. The two of us are basically know-nothings when it comes to wrestling, but I think it's safe to say that our favorite WWE wrestler is one Donald J. Trump. Whatever happened to that guy?

Read MoreEpisode one! For all of the talk of us using this podcast as a way to broaden our movie watching horizons outside the realm of horror movies and other weird shit, it figures that our first film would be a monster movie from the 1940's.
