Episode description
Michaela promises an entire summer dedicated to the output of cheese-factory Cannon Films, which starts with Sylvester Stallone's Over the Top (1987), a movie that finds our hero cast as a truck driver trying to win back his estranged son's heart, on a road trip. Along the way, said son discovers dad is a semi-pro, semi-famous arm wrestler who's gotta get to Vegas to win the International Arm Wrestling Championship! Listen as we debate the merits of Cannon, Stallone, and movies about arm wrestling. And, yes - we arm wrestle each other, live on the air - in what could possibly be the most spectacular Saturday Night Freak Show ever recorded.
