This week, Oz and Curtis close out Wrestlers in Movies Month with a movie marriage so sweaty, chaotic, and coked-up it could only have been written in a hotel room by Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon: Fight Club meets Network, crossed with the remaining *248 movies on the IMDb Top 250 that aren’t No Holds Barred. The result? No Holds Barred — a cinematic bench-press session where subtlety taps out in the first 10 seconds.
Join your two favorite members of the Let’s Talk About Flix-verse as they unpack:
How rip Thomas is somehow the world’s greatest wrestler, worst actor, and most dangerous restaurant customer.
Why Zeus looks like someone welded a unibrow onto a bulldozer and gave it a personality test it failed.
How Kurt Fuller plays the network villain like he’s auditioning to be the Joker’s regional manager.
Why Samantha’s job description appears to be: flirt, fear for your life, and sleep near Hulk Hogan’s tiny shorts.
How the final match features two dead bodies, a destroyed arena, and a studio electrocution—yet the crowd STILL chants “RIP!” like this is normal.
From dookie-filled limos to octagon dive bars, from charity events with helicopters to the most unhinged hotel room scene in wrestling-cinema history, Oz and Curtis grapple through a film that proves one thing above all: there truly were no holds barred… especially on common sense.
Final Verdict
Oz — The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of Wrestling Movies Curtis — 27 Gratuitous Joan Severance Cleavage Shots Both — Still wondering how Zeus kept losing eyebrows between scenes.
