Ahoy hoy and welcome back #oldtimers to ATGB! This week's film of choice comes from the heart, as we are putting Million Dollar Baby on the ropes and examining this 2004 Best Picture winner.

In the preroll, Troy explains his pre-podcasting process and gives Tinashe her flowers by talking about how much she contributes to the podcast itself.

Then Troy solo commentates on this 2004 juggernaut of a film. We examine the career of Clint Eastwood himself, talk boxing film favorites, and ultimately analyze how the film is designed as a boxing match...and we are the ones who get KO'd. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you, so take a chance on a dreamer and step in the ring of this week's podcast.

* I incorrectly attribute Clint Eastwood's new film Cry Macho as his swan song...I thought that was the case but I don't think it is so sorry for being an ageist Clint. Keep making movies and don't let young folks like me tell you otherwise. I also claim with 100% certainty that a Jeff Bridges boxing film is called Fat Night, but it's called Fat City. Sorry Jeff. For these and all my sins, I am truly sorry. *
