Giant (2025)

Well, I remember the first time I even saw about this film was actually with you when we went to watch Marty Supreme at the cinema and it came on as a trailer.

And I was like, what on earth is this? I've heard nothing about this.

Like James Bond managing Nazeem Hamid.

And based on that, I actually saw it on a flight on the way back from a holiday.

So that was the first time I saw it because it.

And it was one of those films where I was like, do I want to see it at the cinema? I actually thought maybe at one point maybe we could go to the cinema, but I just ended up catching it on a flight.

And then, yeah, I watched it again for this.

I watched it not long after it came out, I would say, because I don't think it was in the cinemas very long before it was on sort of available to watch on streaming services are available type stuff.

yeah and that's exactly where i watched it because it's literally just come on amazon prime very recently um and like you i obviously i i remember seeing that trailer and i think we even talked about it in the pub afterwards and we're like i wouldn't mind going and seeing that and it was like you know sometimes when you get excited when you go to the cinema like let's go and watch that that and that and then obviously three weeks goes by and then yeah um so yeah um but yeah i've obviously just watched it for this film i recommended we do this for for the pod um i think we all all three of us have a bit of an interest in sports films but notably um we've obviously talked about rocky in the past so boxing films um and when this popped up on amazon i was like i quite want to watch this and i quite want to hear what you guys think of it um

Yeah, there's been a

few, hasn't

there, in terms of films, not just only boxing films, as you mentioned, like Rocky, but boxing films that are actually made about real boxers.

So obviously you can kind of look back to things like Raging Bull or the Ali movie with Will Smith in, or The Fighter with Orl Wahlberg.

There's been a few that are actually based, and even like Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe.

I've not seen

that one, actually.

Oh,

yeah, with Renny Zollinger as well.

I would say it's worth a watch.

But then for me, almost any boxing film is probably worth a watch.

There's going to be something in there for you to kind of potentially enjoy.

And I know there's been loads of documentaries as well.

But, yeah, it was definitely one I was interested to see.

And there is that Rocky link.

I don't know if you know this, Smith.
