Ever wondered why some movies, like the 2011 "Real Steel," experience a renaissance years after release? Join PhilTheFilipino and MrEricAlmighty as we explore the rousing resurgence of this robotic boxing flick that's punched its way back into public consciousness. We're not just talking about a film; we're discussing a cultural meme that's become a beloved underdog in the world of cinema, equipped with Oscar-worthy visuals and a knockout father-son storyline. And, whether you're part of the fandom or fresh to the scene, you're in for an episode that jabs at your funny bone and uppercuts your emotions.

Remember that time when Eminem’s music could make any scene epic? That's the sort of nostalgia we're stirring up as we revisit "Real Steel" and its embodiment of the 2010s vibe. But it's not all about the past; we're also throwing our two cents into the ring about the future, speculating on the potential for a sequel or a streaming series. Will Hugh Jackman return to his role if there's a next round? Can robot-fighting action still captivate today's audiences, or will it need to transform to appeal to a new generation? We tackle these debates head-on, with engaging insight and a dash of playful banter.

To all our Wait For It Podcast listeners, get ready for an episode that's as electrifying as a championship bout. So, lace up your gloves, step into the ring, and let's get ready to rumble with an episode that promises to be nothing short of a heavyweight champion.

IMDb Synopsis:  In the near future, robot boxing is a top sport. A struggling ex-boxer feels he's found a champion in a discarded robot.
