Parker is out this week, so Kevin and Sean are joined by long-time friend of the show and wrestling expert Mike Dikk to celebrate Bicep-tember, our tribute to pro wrestling with three wrestle-centric flicks!

Up first, Mexico's most famous duo of luchadors battle a mad scientist, his little hunchback assistant and every monster imaginable in the 1970 schlock fest Santo and Blue Demon vs. the Monsters.

Then, Henry Winkler stars as an obnoxious struggling actor who takes a gig in pro wrestling to earn some cash to support his family in The One and Only from 1978.

And finally, a mysterious masked wrestler is the subject of a comedic mockumentary featuring many real pro wrestlers in New World Pictures' Grunt! The Wrestling Movie from 1985.

All this plus The Substance chat, a brief intro to hardcore 7-inches, are we too old for Pixar?, is Terrifier 3 worth seeing?, the state of modern horror, hot new blu-rays and so much more!
