Episode 220 - Beyond The Mat Best Film Ever

    • Film Reviews

(Deep Dive begins at 32:30)
It's WrestleMania week and the BFE are doing their annual tradition of finding something wrestling-related for the  someone asks if you're a god, you say yes. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian and Liam (Georgia, Megs, and Ethan aren't booked so they're not showing up) as we're heading from bingo halls to the Royal Rumble and everywhere in between in the Barry Blaustein documentary, Beyond The Mat.  We're wishing you a good day in our 220th episode as we discuss:
Ian breaks down panto etiquette
Liam plays "wrestler or hockey player?"
We continue our discourse regarding if The Rock is really a good guy
We talk about what the appeal is to deathmatch wrestling
Why do wrestlers (and wrestling fans) get so bent out of shape over the word 'fake'?
Why do wrestling fans stay somewhat closeted?
After watching this, does Blaustein lead the audience to the same conclusion he came up with?
Whether or not Beyond the Mat is the Best Film Ever
