On this episode, the Mikes break down Grudge Match, a sports comedy pitting Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone against each other as retired boxers dragged into a publicity-fueled rematch. They analyze the movie's attempts to balance heartfelt moments with slapstick, touching on whether the film earns its sentimentality or leans too heavily on its leads' legendary status. Plus: the Mikes' hypothetical walk-up songs, Gas Station TV, and the "Spot a Running Dodge Dart" challenge. Wikipedia page for Grudge Match. Films recommended this episode:
