1
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen ninety seven, Mixed martial arts was a very

2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 1>different sport. It used to be billed as no holds

3
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 1>barred fighting, which meant it could be very brutal to watch.

4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>There are a few pioneers of the sport who were

5
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>considered to be among the best in those days. One

6
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>of them was Mark Coleman and the other was named

7
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Mark Kerr. It's The Smashing Machine. I'm Ronald Young Junior,

8
00:00:28.199 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm leaving the theater. All right. This is Ronald

9
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and I am leaving the theater after seeing The Smashing Machine.

10
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>The Smashing Machine written and directed by Benny Saftie starring

11
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Ryan Bader, Boss Ruten, and Alexander Ussik.

12
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>For complete cast listing, you can go to the link

13
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>in our show notes It is just Me Today. The

14
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Smashing Machine is a film about the early days of

15
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 1>mixed martial arts, so the whole film takes place between

16
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety five in two thousand and It follows Mark Kerr,

17
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>who was played by Dwayne the Rock Johnson, and Mark Coleman,

18
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>who was played by Chad Bader, who is formerly a

19
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 1>UFC fighter. He used to be on The Ultimate Fighter.

20
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Actually really enjoyed his season. He had a pretty good run.

21
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he got beat up by John Jones, pretty

22
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 1>good on John Jones's Way to the Top. If I'm

23
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>not mistaken. Now I'm demonstrating to you my mixed martial

24
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>arts knowledge, because I used to know a bit about

25
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>mixed martial arts. So this is a biopic about Mark Kerr.

26
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>There's really not much more I can say about the

27
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>plot of this film, because this is a for me,

28
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 1>this was a complete nothing burger of a movie. There

29
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>is essentially it is. It follows Mark Kerr, and it

30
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>stays true to the idea of the real story, which

31
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 1>is that Mark Kerr was frequently going to Japan to

32
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>fight in Pride, and he fought in the UFC a

33
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>few times in the United States. And he had a

34
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 1>tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend don and he had a

35
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>good friendship with his training partner, Mark Coleman, who was

36
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>also fighting in Japan. And other than that, we don't

37
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>have much of a film here. I'm not certain how

38
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 1>this got made. Actually, I know it's a twenty four

39
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's The Rock and it's Benny Safty and all

40
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>of them came together to get this film made. I

41
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 1>don't know that it needed to be made. I don't

42
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>know that I learned anything about the human spirit, about

43
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Mark Kerr, about mixed martial arts. I don't know that

44
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>anything has really happened watching this film. I think the

45
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Rock is in a lot of prosthetics and makeup, and

46
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he is meant to look more like Mark Kerr because

47
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>he does not look like Mark Kerr. He is taller

48
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 1>and a bit leaner than Mark Kerr. Mark Kerr is

49
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>six 's one. The Rock I believe is six'. Four,

50
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 1>obviously he used to be a, wrestler football. Player he's

51
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>just he's just much bigger Than Mark kerr. Physically that's

52
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 1>not my biggest. Quibble my biggest quibble is that this

53
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 1>film seems like it's grasping for An. Oscar it just

54
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>it seems like, it and that makes it hard to

55
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>watch this knowing that there's no plot and watching the

56
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 1>performances and then, saying, oh, okay Is Emily blunt going

57
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to be in The oscar? Conversation Is Dwayne johnson gonna

58
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>be in The oscar? Conversation should they be in The oscar?

59
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Conversation my answer is absolutely. Not BUT i, mean we

60
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.399
<v Speaker 1>know a twenty four can rock a. Campaign so if

61
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>they do get, Nominated i'm telling you, now it's not

62
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>BECAUSE i think their performances were that, Good but maybe

63
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 1>it's because their performances sound Like oscar. Performances they're shaped

64
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Like oscar, performances which isn't enough for. Me nothing happens

65
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>in this. Film this is a film in which it

66
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>comes on and you See Mark curR, fighting and he's,

67
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>fighting and then you realize he has a problem taking,

68
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>opioids and you think that there's going to be some

69
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 1>great collision of him taking opioids that, is and that's,

70
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 1>like maybe that's typical biopicks, stuff but also the beats

71
00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of biopicks typically work if someone is taking, drugs whether

72
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:06.439
<v Speaker 1>It's Ray charles or, whatever enter any other boxer slash

73
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>musician in and a bio. Pick if they're taking, drugs

74
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be a moment of reckoning where they

75
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 1>have to step back and then rebuild themselves in spite

76
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 1>of the. Drugs and in this, case we start to have.

77
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 1>That but then the movie kind of like pump. Fakes you,

78
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>know he begins to have these issues with the, opioids

79
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and then he goes to rehab to clean himself, up

80
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 1>he comes, out and then at the moment that he comes,

81
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>out we're probably about an hour into the. Movie i've

82
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>remembered thinking it's weird that we've seen him be in

83
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>three fights And i've never once seen him trained for a.

84
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Fight and then there's the worst training Montage i've ever,

85
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 1>seen because most of it is him standing around with

86
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 1>his hands on his. Hips and then at some point

87
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>he has to use the opioids again in order to

88
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 1>help a friend of his who's in, pain but then

89
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>he throws the rest of them, Away so it kind

90
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of feels like some sort of weird red herring THAT

91
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 1>i don't understand what was the purpose of it being

92
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>in the. Movie it's not like his friend formed a

93
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>habit on the drugs or anything like, that SO i

94
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't sure why they were. There and then after, that

95
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 1>the drugs are pretty much not a problem in the,

96
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>movie but this happened so early in the film that

97
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't feel like much of an. Adversary then it

98
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 1>becomes tension between him and his, girlfriend which isn't like real.

99
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Tension it's IT'S i mean it's, tension but it's NOT

100
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.199
<v Speaker 1>i would say that it's not dramatic enough that it

101
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>rose to the level of a film. Conflict it felt

102
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>like they needed more, conflicts so they added. This SO

103
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>i remembered, wondering what is the point of, This what

104
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>is the point of, this of this fight between? Them

105
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.199
<v Speaker 1>like what is why is this? Happening and that's WHAT

106
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>i kept wondering for the majority of the. Movie why

107
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.199
<v Speaker 1>is this? Happening why is this? Happening why is this?

108
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Happening and over and over AGAIN i WOULD i would think,

109
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 1>that and then you get to the end of the

110
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 1>movie and there's words on the screen along with the

111
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Real Mark, kerr and that tells you some parts of the.

112
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Story AND i remember, thinking if this is the context

113
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 1>that's necessary for me to sympathize with this, story then

114
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 1>it's probably context that needed to be added throughout the,

115
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>film as opposed to added at the end of the.

116
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Movie THERE'S i, mean there's just so many parts of

117
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>it THAT i JUST i was puzzled, by LIKE i

118
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>didn't understand. Why that was the question that kept coming

119
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 1>up was, why, why why is this? Happening why is

120
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 1>this film Called The Smashing. Machine at no point in

121
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 1>the film is the phrase the Smashing machine doesn't come.

122
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Up they're not Like mark the Smashing Machine. Kerr that

123
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>has never said throughout the. Film if it, WAS i missed.

124
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 1>It SO i don't understand the name of this. MOVIE

125
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 1>i don't understand Why The rock had to Play Mark,

126
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 1>kerrs like they might have gotten someone else for. That,

127
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>WELL i do understand BECAUSE i think he wants to

128
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>try to be in more serious roles and this is

129
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 1>his pivot to. That you, know obviously he's not doing

130
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.879
<v Speaker 1>superhero movies anymore Because Black adam is. Done he's not

131
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.399
<v Speaker 1>going to get A marvel, part so this is his

132
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>next pivot of. Acting John cena is doing a great.

133
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Job he is now a. Peacemaker he's found a lane for.

134
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Himself he's also a little bit more versatile Than The,

135
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.039
<v Speaker 1>rock and maybe even not that much more, versatile but

136
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>just seems much more. Versatile has done a lot more

137
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>comedies that have, worked Whereas The rock just seems to

138
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.879
<v Speaker 1>be showing up Being The rock and then disappearing for a.

139
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 1>WHILE i don't. Know i'm not sure Why Emily blunt

140
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 1>had to be in this, film except that she has

141
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>a relationship With The. Rock they've Done Jungle. CRUISE i

142
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 1>think they did one other film. Together If i'm not,

143
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>mistaking it's failing me right. Now so they've obviously developed a.

144
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Rapport The rock is the producer of the, film. Y'ALL

145
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>i really just don't have. Much it was, it it was,

146
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>then nothing. Happened they barely gave me anything to. Critique

147
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 1>there is no. Plot the pacing is, off and it

148
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't no plot in the way that you watch a

149
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>movie Like The wrestler and and you're going along with,

150
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>it and you're seeing it as it, unfolds, uh and

151
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of like you're you're really in the in his,

152
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Corner you're really With Mickey rourke the entire, time and

153
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 1>when it gets to the, end you kind of you're

154
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>you feel like there are. Stakes the stakes in this

155
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>are not clear to. ME i don't know why he's.

156
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 1>FIGHTING i don't know if he has enough. MONEY i don't.

157
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 1>KNOW i barely know how he's paying for his. House

158
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>he says he earned it by. Fighting but then there's

159
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 1>a there's a point in the movie where they bring

160
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>up the fact that he's not being paid enough From,

161
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 1>pride So i'm wondering if that's a source of. Tension

162
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>but then money is never an issue or discussed the

163
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>rest of the. Film there's questions about the, rules and

164
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it has resolved so quickly THAT i, wondered what was the?

165
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Point why would that have been significant in the. Moment

166
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just a lot of stems of, film stems of

167
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>problems that all end up to be either easily resolved

168
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 1>or complete red. Herrings directing, wise it was. Fine AS

169
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>i was calculating the, SCORE i could EASILY i know

170
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 1>this is better than the last three films That i've,

171
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>rated which Is The Long, WALK A Big, Bold Beautiful,

172
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>journey And Caught. STEALING i liked this better than all of,

173
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>them but not by. Much so with all of that being,

174
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>said this is just a three of five star. Movie

175
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 1>it's just three. Stars it's there's nothing going on. Here

176
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>if it was ON i Would i'd probably watch it

177
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 1>if LIKE i couldn't reach the. Remote it's probably closer

178
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 1>to a two point nine to. Nine but it is

179
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 1>better THAN A Big Bowl Beautiful, journey WHICH i gave

180
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a two point nine, Nine SO i have to give

181
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.159
<v Speaker 1>this one a. Three i'm trying to be Like WHEN

182
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 1>i have clear feelings about films LIKE i have these last,

183
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>few it feels easier to be able to score other.

184
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Ones say if it's better than, this THEN i know

185
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that it's a three THAT i know that it's A

186
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>i know that it's a three point five and three

187
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 1>point seven five so much so, far so. WHATEVER i

188
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>know that BECAUSE i have these other metrics to judge it.

189
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>By so, YEAH i just it didn't give me. MUCH i,

190
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 1>uh it was. Fine good for the. ROCK i hope

191
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 1>he gets another opportunity to continue to be taken. Seriously

192
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 1>but other than, THAT i don't. Know if you need

193
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to go see this, one it'll probably show up WHEREVER
