Before we dive into the episode, have you seen our badass logo? Awesome designer Trais Colton Barhaug rocked that for us and you should go support him now! T-shirts, pins, and stickers are on their way.

Thanks to Justin’s long time friend, Kwalified, a diehard wrestling fan and dope emcee hailing from Hawaii, for our great intro song.

Originally record for November, then eventually slated for February release, and now it finally drops in late March. But it’s worth it… we think.

Listen to Doug and Justin chat about Abdullah the Butcher in the ring and on the silver screen… with 1981’s Roaring Fire. Alongside Sonny Chiba as “Mr. Magic”, Abdullah plays bigass bodyguard Spartacus in this bizarre and fun little action joint.

Doug is back on Twitter and his other podcasts never left, Cinema Smorgasbord and No-Budget Nightmares

The lost November episode is goin to finally make its tardy appearance in February, but we needed to make a point to check out Iron Claw this month and dive into the tragic Von Erich story. So we veer from focus on a wrestler turned actor this month and focus on film and the real life subjects of the film (though our original plan was this film and an episode about MJF, but his part was too minimal and the Von Erichs deserve the coverage).

So we look at a few of the great WCCW Von Erichs matches alongside discussion of the fantastic A24 film.

After Justin waiting so long to finish editing and posting the November episode, he gave up and decided the Jerks would save their discussion of a certain butcher named Abdullah for the new year and tope suicida themselves head first into the holiday season. To properly celebrate, the Doug and Justin needed some help, so they recruited Robert of The Atomic Elbow to join them in discussing a few matches from one Paul Wight and his HUGE ROLE in the INCREDIBLe Christmas classic, Jingle All the Way.

While Justin may be the only fan of Jingle All the Way, neither Doug nor Robert came here to condemn, so a good time is had by all!

Shout out to Marion Stegeman Hodgson of Athens, Georgia! And be sure to follow Robert on the Instagram machine!

This month, the Jerks had a special guest, filmmaker Ted Geoghehan. He joined us to talk about working with the late great Job Huber – who many of you may know as Brodie Lee or Luke Harper. Huber was a featured player in Ted’s 2017 film Mohawk… and by all accounts, seems to have been the sweetest, coolest dude ever.

On this episode, Doug and Justin chat about 3 of Huber’s matches and then dive into the film with Ted. Justin’s mic situation in this one wasn’t great, but Ted and Doug sound great and they are the main reason you’re here anyway, right? It’s a great episode, even if you ignore Justin completely… maybe even better than way, honestly.

If you wanna prep before listening, you can check out Mohawk free on Tubi or Plex now. The film isn’t a straight horror film, per se, but has more than enough gore and scares to satiate the fiends and gorehounds among us all.

And make sure to check out Ted on X/Twitter and Instagram, as well as supporting his new one – Brooklyn 45 – now on Shudder!

Due to the Skate or Die Film Fest, Justin got this episode out a full week later than he intended… but what’s new? He’s always slow as hell, so ya’ll should be used to it. When he references a discount code for the fest, it’s a bit late… but alas, what are we if not consistent. Doug is consistently timely and knowledgeable, Justin is consistently overbooked and running behind. We’d apologize and say it won’t happen again, but we’re not liars.

We are, however, huge fans of Terry Funk. On this episode, we celebrate him with 3 matches and a great film in which he has a fun but part. Check out our thoughts on 3 distinct eras of The Funker, as well as the 1989 Swayze joint, Roadhouse.

After this episode, Justin and Doug aren’t not sure if Will Ospreay is a good actor, but I know for sure he’s a great wrestler. With 3 of the best matches ever watched for the show and a movie that’s mostly watchable, the bulk of the time is rightfully devoted to the wrestling for this one. The Jerks had the pleasure of taking in and discussing an incredible 6 man tag from PWG and the first two matches in this current Ospreay vs. Omega feud… so much great stuff.
