Episode 37: No Holds Barred - A Commentary Track From Cinema Hell

What happens when you combine the 1980's, Hulk Hogan, Deebo, Robert Fuller, and a dump truck dosage of kayfabe? You wind up with the cinematic masterpiece that is No Holds Barred. For no good reason in particular, we decided to do our own commentary track of this adventure into 'rassling cinema and you can play along. As of this recording, the movie is streaming on Amazon Prime Video, but you should be able to find it anywhere or cue up your old VHS copy. When we get to the commentary, we'll give a countdown and you'll be able to watch the movie with us jabbering in your ear!

The commentary in this episode starts around the 20 minute mark.
