Ep. 3 - Ready To Rumble (2000)


Listen Later

Two married dummies (Mark and Taylor) discuss READY TO RUMBLE (2000), which scored 22% on RT. David Arquette and Scott Caan star as two small-town best friends/wrestling fans who witness their hero, Jimmy King (Oliver Platt), get screw-jobbed out of his WCW championship, so they decide to help the King regain his glory. The promotional efforts around the movie caused a kerfuffle in the pro wrestling industry, with many claiming it ultimately caused the death of WCW. Many familiar faces permeate the screen, including Martin Landau, Sting, and a then-unknown John Cena.

We discuss the controversy that followed David Arquette for 20+ years, movie soundtrack tropes, and the practicality of a triple cage.

If you enjoy the show, leave a five-star rating and we'll read it on the air (in a Macho Man voice if you ask nicely).
