Ep. 13 - Why Couldn't the Iron Claw Grab Some Oscar Love? (w/ Jeff Wirtheim)
Manage episode 412064070 series 3563448
"The Iron Claw" was the second best movie of 2023 but didn't earn a single Oscar nomination. Why not? Was it because there were dark themes like suicide? Was there something against the WWE? Was there a fear of promoting toxic masculinity even though it was actually a cautionary tale? Were Zac Effron's abs CGI? Alan discusses these questions with wrestling afficionado Jeff Wirtheim, as they theorize as to why Effron, the other actors and the film got body slammed by Oscar voters.
