We're teeing up next week's big return of the MCU with Deadpool & Wolverine by looking back at the first collaboration between director Shawn Levy and the Huge Jacked Man, a futuristic underdog sports movie about robot boxing. Yes it's 2011's Real Steel, starring Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Hope Davis, James Rebhorn and returning ADHD-DVD favourite Kevin Durand. While it's often described as Robot Rocky, it hues much closer to a Robot Over The Top. Based on a short story by Richard Matheson that was adapted into The Twilight Zone episode "Steel", produced by Spielberg and Zemeckis, and backed by a winning cast, all the ingredients are here to make a smart and affecting family-friendly action movie, but like its sadsack loser protagonist, it just can't put it together. Plus Justin's got theatrical field reports on Longlegs and A Quiet Place: Day One. If you'd like to watch Real Steel before listening to the show, it is currently streaming in Canada on Netflix at the time of publication. Other works discussed on this episode include The Last Voyage of the Demeter, 13 Hours, The X-Files, Gladiator II, Anyone But You, Ticket To Paradise, The Mask, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, I Love You, Man, Succession, Speed Racer, Chappie, Australia, Les Miserables, Prisoners, The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, LOST, WALL-E, Transformers, The Simpsons, and Battleship. We'll be back next week to welcome Twister into the podcast canon, and we'll be joined by Significant Other of the program Ashley Olson to discuss a film that is very near and dear to both her and Hayley's hearts. And of course you know we'll be talking Twisters as well, so come on back for what is sure to be a whirlwind episode you don't wanna miss. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
