    Movie Review: The Iron Claw *Spoilers*

    Happy Advent, Everyone! Hank is back with another review of a film he received early access to, The Iron Claw. This was one of Hank's most anticipated films of the year. The movie tells the tragic story of the Von Erich wrestling family. Hank highly recommends it, and the review does contain spoilers. However, Hank covers the family's background and how it appears in the film. Ultimately, the movie covers a family that experiences tremendous loss and follows the main character, Kevin Von Erich (played by Zac Effron), and his path to healing. This is Effron's best performance. Please give it a listen and see the film!
