Episode 259 featuring Lunatic / Luna Vachon Doc (Director Kate Kroll)

Today we are joined with filmmaker/pro wrestler Kate Kroll to take a further dive into her incredible documentary "Lunatic" that tells the many layers and legacy of the legendary wrestler Luna Vachon. Personally as a Luna fan I have seen many showcases on her story and this is hands down the best one. Beyond talking about the tragedy around Luna's journey, it shines a light on how much of a pioneer she was for all women in professional wrestling. Kate's crew also discovered some fascinating VHS tapes from a promotion called Wild Women Of Wrestling that have not been seen by the public since the 1980's. Beyond finding even more layers of untold truths this documentary also touches on mental health awareness, gave us an understanding and empathy to those who suffer from bipolar disorder, while also acknowledging how traumas of the past can shape your actions in the future. Whether you are a wrestling fan or not, in the bigger picture this is a story that is for everybody and I am very proud to share this film with some extra context from the director with you today.
