Episode 18: A Professional Wrestling Podcast


Listen Later

On this episode, Josh and Dietrich assemble one of the strangest playlists yet: one based on the chaotic gleeful mayhem of professional wrestling. They look at the way archetypes from the WWE line up with the insanity of the Mad Max films and the video game Saints Row 3, discuss the physical and mental toll taken on those who perform as wrestlers as portrayed in GLOW and seen on Beyond the Mat, and close out by explaining all the ways that wrestling shares commonalities with the legendary role playing game Dungeons and Dragons. In addition, Josh revisits a surreal trilogy of films that always made the strangest choice, Dietrich raves about a new podcast recommendation, and they include a bonus section at the end looking at the highs and lows of the latest season of The Adventure Zone.
