Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast talks with filmmakers David Darg and Price James about their wild new documentary, You Cannot Kill David Arquette (which is now available On Demand). In 2000, the Scream star and all-around Hollywood goofball won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt—a scandal that shook the wrestling world to its core.Decades later, with his film career in the can and a mid-life crisis at his doorstep, David Arquette decided to break back into the wrestling world and fight his way to the top. In this bloody, bizarre, yet oddly tender and cringe-funny film, Darg and James present audiences with a man willing to risk life, limb, and public humiliation to defeat his demons and prove his own self-worth.This spoiler-lite discussion uncovers You Cannot Kill’s surprisingly personal origins; digs into the age-old real/fake wrestling debate; and pays tribute to Arquette’s late, great friend, Luke Perry.Also, Ian reviews the film and draws a surprising connection to Bill & Ted Face the Music!Episode 576 breaks kayfabe like nobody’s business, brother!Show Guide:Intro Music: 0:00 - 0:14Intro: 0:14 - 4:07You Cannot Kill David Arquette Trailer: 4:07 - 6:38You Cannot Kill David Arquette Discussion: 6:38 - 32:06Outro Music: 32:06 - 32:22Keep up with the latest seat-kicking goodness by following, liking, rating, and subscribing to us on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, iTunes, Stitcher!
