Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For the month of April, they are watching wrestling movies.
They begin the month with Hell Comes to Frogtown, the 1988 post-apocalyptic action movie where the virile “Rowdy” Roddy Piper must travel to Frogtown to impregnate as many human women as possible.

When Jonathan Davenport responded to an online post looking for a graphic artist to design characters for an upcoming project, he had no way of knowing that the poster was Xavier Woods and that the project would lead to Davenport designing ring gear for the New Day and other WWE wrestlers.
After George Floyd was killed by police last summer, Davenport and New Day wanted to design ring gear depicting heroes of black history. From there, Davenport and Big E teamed up with Andreas Hale to create Our Heroes Rock, an animated show that uses hip hop and science fiction to teach kids about black history.
We talked to Davenport about the Kickstarter campaign for Our Heroes Rock, designing ring gear for the New Day and how hard it is not to geek out and ask a million questions when texting pro wrestlers.

Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For the month of November, they are watching heist films.
To start the month, they watch Money Plane, the 2020 Andrew Lawrence film where Darius “The Rumble” Grouch III (Kelsey Grammar) hires Jack Reese (Adam “Edge” Copeland) and his team to take down the “Money Plane,” a flying casino full of criminals who can bet on any illegal activity they want.
