Ep. 5 - Over The Top

from Classic American Movies · host Christopher Kelly

What do you get when you combine the hardships of being a parent battling with the disproval of your in-laws, a dying wife and a child who never knew you? Add some amazing arm wrestling with rockin' music and you have 1987's "Over the Top." Chris grew up with "Top," and Miriam has never heard of it. Join in on the fun, as the discussion of who the original choice of the antagonist, "The Bull," was; what the history of this movie has done to arm wrestling, globally; where the idea for this 80's classic came from and why Stallone keeps flipping his hat.
