The Iron Claw - A Triumph of Tragedy 

It's either this or The Wrestler. My live show TUHOS will do a discussion on that one, one day.

The Wrestler was much better

that is because it was about wrestling. this is a family drama. they could have been football players and the story would have been the same.@@chrischar9428

Yeah I tried to not go into what the film didn't have cause it's a review about the movie itself.

Mike was the embodiment of Chris as well because they both mirrored each other’s problems in a lot of ways.

The director & even Kevin Von Erich said including Chris was just too much tragedy to take in. Consider how tragic the film portrays the Von Erichs already, could you take Chris’ tragic end too?

As a lifelong wrestling fan that started watching in the 80s I noticed that too I mean how do you not notice if you know this story before the movie but as a film and acting nerd I do get why they didn’t knowledge that there was another brother, the movie is already completely enough as it is, and there really any time left in the runtime if they threw Chris in there, because if he was just thrown in in the movie as it is, I don’t know where they would’ve really had him, except for maybe at the family scenes, and then his death scene. It would’ve been way too much for the audience to handle especially for the people that didn’t know this story going in. As a wrestling fan yes it’s a sad movie, but it didn’t punch me in the God because I’ve just grown up knowing what happened but people that didn’t every person that has watched this without knowing the story is left just bawling.

It's a movie, there is a thing called pacing, and including him into the story would have took away from the story they were trying to convey. It helps to do your own research instead of crying online.

Yeah I remember the dark side of the ring documentary it was hard to get through

I was only going based on the film. I believe they did combine some aspects of other real life people into the characters

I wasn’t criticizing your review, just relaying my first hand experience growing up around them.

Also, great review, I really enjoy your work.

@@JonesteinTX I didn't take it as criticism I was just explaining why I used that version. I considered doing a bit more of a dive in the real life stuff but that likely wouldve turned into more if a research essay

@@JonesteinTX thank you. I'm gonna be doing a few different things in 2024 to branch out a bit more

Thank you yeah those gags are a staple of my channel. I like to play with sound gags, alliteration, stuff like that. Really appreciate that you enjoyed it

Thank you! I spent a year learning ropes, once I found my voice and style it became really fun to do this stuff. I really appreciate the sub every one counts and I try to do the best I can by my subscribers

Yeah for the sake of time on the video I didn't want to turn this into an "accuracy of the story" outside of it looking mostly correct. Like honestly the guy who played Ric Flair must have done zero research

Bullshitcough

I just wrote the rough draft

The Wrestler might be a TUHOS special if I can get a specific guest for it

Thank you it's hard to work comedy into reviews for films you like

I think having a been a pro wrestling fan, having friends in the industry and Knowing stuff a bit better than others helped me review this

I watched this and Wonka on the same day... take a guess in which order.

I watched it twice within 2 weeks great movie!!

Thank you. Practice makes perfect. Took me awhile to find the voice and gags I wanted to use but I feel it's all coming together now

Thank you. Yeah it's real well written and acted just not gonna make you happy

@@DarkHourYT As long as it's a happier film than Foxcatcher I think I'm good lol.

Sydney Sweeney she's known for her outstanding rack and showing it off on the show Euphoria but in Madam Web they are covering her up completely

It's a toss up honestly. I think The Wrestler has more rewatchability

Yeah they made a few creative decisions. I'm sure they had their reasons.

He's jacked

yea...to death.@@DarkHourYT

Still makes for a damn good movie

Build wise yes I was talking more about their faces. I agree that Kerry could've been a bit more jacked. Also yeah I agree Ric Flair was a miss but he was only in like 30 seconds of the film so I give it a pass

Worst cast movie

They had to make some concessions for run time unfortunately
