Episode 170 - Champion (2018)
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb podcast. Normally, this is the podcast where we go back and re-examine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history and see if they deserve a second chance. However, this week we’ve decided to invoke the “Don Lee Clause.” What is the “Don Lee Clause?” Without using a ton of legal jargon, we reserve the right to discuss any Don Lee film regardless of the movie’s critical or box office success. This week’s show is a full house as we bring a ton of guests to discuss 2018’s Champion. Sammy from the GGTMC, Jose from Watch/Skip+, and professional Don Lee cosplayer John Nance take time out of their busy schedule to discuss this Korean sports film centered around competitive arm wrestling. We kick things off talking about some of our favorite sports films that make our eyeballs sweat (because guys don’t cry). Eventually, everybody spends ample time gushing over this amazing film that showcases the acting prowess of Korea’s most popular movie star of 2023. Please do yourself a favor and watch Champion! This film deserves all the attention!
Champion is directed by Kim Yong-wan and stars Don Lee (Ma Dong-seok), Kwon Yul, and Han Ye-ri.
Troy and Brad were recently on the Moviestruck podcast to talk about the Hong Kong classic - 8 Diagram Pole Fighter. Head over to Moviestruck and check it out!
