Cruel Summer #27: Kenny Omega vs. Tetsuya Naito (2017) w/ Joel Abraham Aug 31, 2019

Show notes

WH Park is once again joined by Joel Abraham of the Super J-Cast (which you can find at Voices of Wrestling) to discuss the finals of NJPW G1 Climax 27: Kenny Omega vs. Tetsuya Naito from August 13, 2017.

The discussion veers towards what WH did this day in 2017 after refusing to ever step foot in Sumo Hall again during August. WH also feebly attempts to explain his experience watching actual Sumo there. We also analyze Kenny Omega’s differences between the 2016 to 2019.

TRMPS #8: The Gameplan (2007) w/ Kris Ealy & Britney Monaé Aug 18, 2019

Show notes

Are you ready to “feel the magic”, POST-Marks?
On this edition of The Rocky Maivia Picture Show, Nate Milton continues his trip through Dwayne Johnson’s filmography by reviewing the movie that kicked off The Rock’s relationship with “The House Of Mouse”, 2007’s The Gameplan!
Nate is joined by two special guests this month; return reviewer Kris Ealy (“Power Dynamics”/“The Twenny Twin-Twin”) and actress/writer/podcaster, Britney Monaé (“Fangirls”/“The Black Lightning Podcast”)!
The trio discusses Hollywood’s treatment of The Rock and other actors of color as sex symbols, the conspicuous lack of NFL branding in the film, and ultimately whether or not this kid-friendly comedy still holds up 12 years later. All of that, plus Britney sorts the guys (and John Cena!) into Hogwarts Houses on the latest edition of The Rocky Maivia Picture Show!
