    This week,

    Netflix finally released their Mr McMahon documentary covering the scandalous
    life and allegations surrounding former WWE owner Vince McMahon.

     

    Ger has watched

    all six episodes (spoiler warning) and has a lot to discuss, including a
    detailed look at how Vince confessed to who he is throughout the piece.

     

    He also looks at

    whether Netflix's goals succeeded in their goal of this, Stone Cold Steve
    Austin's extraordinary CTE admission, why WWE should fire Bruce Prichard, why
    Phil Mushnick should go into the Hall of Fame and much more!

  • LOW BLOWS SHORTS: How AEW Became Disposable
    Once considered a legitimate contender to WWE and beating them weekly in the ratings, over the last two years AEW has experienced a 30% decline in ratings for their Dynamite flagship TV show, while their recently All In show in Wembley had a 40% decline on the 2023 attendance.
     
    On this edition of Low Blows Shorts, Ger isn't claiming AEW is dying or under any existential threat, but has it become disposable? And why is this happening when the product is still regularly stellar from a quality standpoint?

    It's been a while since we got to talk movies on Page 180 so Tom and Ger discuss the slate of movies released in a very specifically defined summer 2024 at the movies (July and August - yes, we know August can be considered autumn. Shut up.)
     
    To try do so they name their best movie of the 'summer' plus hand out awards, good and bad, for some of the movies they watched: like 'The twist was I enjoyed this', 'Most Powerful Cinematic Experience' and 'I Didn't Know Something This Exciting Could Be So Boring'.
     
    On the slate is the likes of Kneecap, Alien: Romulus, Trap, Twisters, The Crow remake, It Ends With Us, Blink Twice and more!
     
    Plus, in the wake of the It Ends With Us disastrous promo campaign, a look at some of the worst marketing campaigns in cinema history.

  • THE DRAGON BOYS OF SUMMER: House of the Dragon S2 Finale
    It's the finale of this run of the Dragon Boys of Summer as the end of House of the Dragon drew a close to this absolutely insane summer of content!
     
    And what an episode to leave us with as the debate was flying! Ger loved the episode, while guests Dan Lynam and Gerry O'Brien both hated it.
     
    They debate why they felt how they did, the individual character beats for Criston Cole, Tyland Lannister, Allyn/Addam and the big picture moves for the Greens and Blacks, as well as how they felt about season 2 as a whole and their highlights from the summer altogether.
