The Film Thugs Movie Show

This week, a bizarre tag team combo...

In this corner we have a lifelong wrestling fanatic. A Texas born and raised, bonafide expert in the subject with years of watching, rewatching, reading, rereading, discussing, debating, arguing, fighting, and getting locked in the very same finishing move this movie takes its name from but his big(?) brother.

And his partner in crime...

A guy who spent from the age of 8 to the age of 12 on a military base in latin America with little access to popular culture, and what access he did have was months later and... shall we say "sporadic," and has almost no knowledge of the sport.

And in this corner...

A goddamned near impossible to adapt, and absolutely impossible to comprehend tragedy of the most successful Texas wrestling family. A story so dark and tragic, Richard III is telling it to take a knee.

That's right... The Iron Claw.

Let's has out the good, the bad, and the "WHERE THE FUCK IS CHRIS?" of the whole affair. 

That's right folks... it's time to fasTEN your seatbelts and drive, full throttle into the mouth of familia as we take another spin with Dom and the family. 

I could try to explain what happens, but... 

Imagine, "The Pilgrim's Progress," but with a rich, surfing douchebag in the lead? 

Ok. Now, if you thought, "That is a fucking terrible idea. Please, leave me alone." You would be correct. You, however, would absolutely not be the producers, writers, director, or stars of "Journey Into Hell."

There isn't really much more to say.

I honestly cannot think of  a sentence that inspires less confidence than, "A Christian horror movie, inspired by 'Saw.'" I can't. Maybe you can. That's cool.

Thing is, no matter what you come up with... it cannot make this movie any better. Welcome to the baffling horror (?) movie about a serial... forceful helper. It's hard to explain. 

All we can say is, we are sorry.

I would say that it is impossible to think of a movie being more wrong headed and awful than 1986's, "Soul Man," but... remember you are talking to the guys who recorded and published a full reading of, "The Day The Clown Cried." Just listen to ALL THREE PARTS

But the simple fact that we have to reference that... nightmare just for context should tell you everything you need to know.

So, let's take a look at what happens when you try to help a little too hard.
