The Cromcast: A Weird Fiction Podcast

The Cromcast - Season 21, Episode 05 - Million Dollar Baby and The Iron Claw


Listen Later

Welcome back, Cromrades! This week, we take on two combat sports movies that damage us right where it hurts - the emotions! We're talking Million Dollar Baby directed by Clint Eastwood, and starring Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. Then, we enter the squared circle to face off against the Von Erich family in The Iron Claw, directed by Sean Durkin and starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, , Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons, Holt McCallany, and Lily James. 

We're talking raw emotional damage, folks. 

Would Robert E. Howard have found something to like about this double feature? Let us know!
