With The Iron Claw completely snubbed by the Oscars, Will & Jared leap off the ropes into a wrestling movie that was actually embraced by the Academy: Darren Aronofsky's 2008 film The Wrestler.

Was Mickey Rourke difficult to work with? Is Aronofsky a hack? Was the amazing deli counter scene improv? If Will & Jared were wrestlers, what would their intro music be? Listen to find out! 

Our outro track is The Aki Way by Purrfect.

You can listen to Reno Championship Wrestling & Spellbound and Gagged anywhere you get podcasts.
