Tube Rats: Episode 37 – Dark side of the ring

In the week of Summerslam, Tube Rats has decided to revisit the (not so) wonderful world of wrestling. As long-time WWE CEO Vince McMahon ‘retires’ with allegations piling up, Jimmy has fittingly selected several short films which tackle historic abuse in the professional wrestling circuit. He is joined by perennial heel, Jack, and people’s champ, Georgia, to discuss the people using film to make a stand.

If you would like to see the films before we discuss them, you can find all three below.

WARNING: Both films 1 and 2 feature themes of sexual abuse.

Film 1: HEEL (10mins)
Dir. Maggie Levin

Film 2: Moolah: Fabulous or Frightening? (16mins)
Dir. Anonymous

Film 3: The Wrestler – Director’s Cut (12mins)
Dir. Michael Chen

Tube Rats is a short-film podcast, where a critic, a comedian Jimmy, and a professional goth sift through YouTube to bring you some free hidden gems.
