The Smashing Machine

Yeah, that's fulfillment in a different way.

It's not fulfillment like I get when I have a conversation with somebody and I connect with somebody or they share something with me because they saw the smashing machine and saw the struggles I went through and opens that door.

You know, it's that, it's that, it's that because that's, that's the human part that, that everybody's like, not everybody, but a lot of people miss is what we were talking about.

It's like, It's like you boil all the bullshit away.

find you? They can find me on my socials.

I'm on Instagram.

I'm Mark Kerr, TSM, the Smashing Machine.

And then, you know, that's obviously a link to Facebook, Twitter.

I wonder how that...

Smashing Machine film is.

I guess I'll have to find out soon.

It's good, but nothing like this.

But yeah, I mean, I think it was a bit mean of everyone kind of coming in afterwards and saying, you know, you can see who the real talent is here.

Like, maybe not.

you know there's clearly some part in the smashing machine that shows real real talent as well it's a good film and you know who knows then maybe the next films made by these two brothers it's gonna be uh the other way around which in terms of which film is better but but yeah let's see

i kind of agree with you on that with how i took away uh my takeaway on this film because it did kind of contain that usual safety magic to uh some extent at least I will have to say this is probably the weakest of the three performances in these films, but still, it was easily one of the best of the year.

Therefore, that is now one of the biggest box office blunders of all time.

Or even movies like The Smashing Machine with The Rock, who is also one of the most famous and highest paid actors working right now.

And you think, oh man, with over like 200 million Instagram followers, no matter what he does, No matter what he puts out, it's at least going to be a decent box office success.

That movie flopped.

And I don't really see that this year.

Yeah, I think even the ones that sort of blur together and you could accuse of being watered down, like, no tea, no shade, but The Smashing Machine or, like, Iron Claw.

I remember, like, some of those, like, biopic films sort of did start to blur together in, like, the awards conversation and have a similar... feel to them.

But even when you look at those films, there's really incredible, like Zac Efron, which is kind of doing this adult performance, which is at the core of their brand.

And The Smashing Machine, I mean, seeing Dwayne Johnson sort of venture into this new part of his career, there's interesting things, even in the ones that feel sort of

inconsequential.

Agreed.

I'm still confused why The Smashing Machine costs that much money, but...

Garland's Civil War supposedly cost $50 million before that, according to Variety.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson's The Smashing Machine reportedly carried a similar budget.

In other words, nothing really comes close to A24's first major swing in the world of video game movie adaptations.

Instagram teen accounts come with automatic protections that limit who can contact teens, the content they can see, and the time they spend on the app.

It's unbelievable.

also I will say the way his movie career is kind of trending makes it more likely that he'll show up in wrestling so I'm kind of into it because as the movies go like this there are chances of wrestling go like this I will say the Smashing Machine was quite good yes I've heard that the live action Moana is a pile of ass I've not

seen it I don't know why I watched Moana for the first time about a year ago why would I need to watch a new version song's so good yeah but I didn't know why they needed to make a new version I know of the same film it's like

two years old yeah
