This week we review and discuss The Smashing Machine, a biopic sports drama directed by Bernny Safdie and starring Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt and Oleksandr Usyk, about the life of UFC fighter Mark Kerr and his struggles with loss, addiction and eventual redemption in the mixed martial arts scene of the late 90s. We talk about our experiences with the movie despite not caring much about the UFC or about biopics, how the movie is stretched thin between multiple topics it doesn't do a great job reconciling, the documentary that this movie seems to be a shot for shot remake of, whether Mark Kerr's fall into addiction and redemption story worked for us, and much more.
