“Real Steel” Is Built From Likable Spare Parts

Image
Real Steel = 3 out of 5 Charlie:   You know you’re bringing him home in pieces right? As if one giant freaking robots movie was not enough for one year, we now have a new one that involves the seedy underbelly that is robot boxing.  Well not quite, Real Steel is a fairly standard sports action/drama, which happens to be set a small amount of time in the future where robots have replaced humans in the world of boxing.  However, despite the Rock ’Em Sock ‘Em concept of this film, the central plot of this story revolves around a father and his estranged son learning to come to terms with each other, bonding over the accomplishments of a robot boxer they turn from an underdog into the people’s champ.  Despite its adherence to clichés and many other issues that I had with the film, there was enough heart, likability, and sweet robot fighting action to have kept me involved with what was going on.

Weekly Recap: Possessor, On The Rocks, Dick Johnson Is Dead, The Glorias & More

There's also  Dick Johnson is Dead , a terrific documentary now on Netflix. Plus,  Sofia Coppola's  On the Rocks  is now in limited release. I'm not actually saying people should go to theaters to see it (it will be on Apple TV+ soon), but the option is there. Additionally, there are a couple of solid podcasts we put together, including our first of several horror-themed specials, an  Enola Holmes  episode recorded outside with my lovely girlfriend, and more. Finally, there are my various essays lists, and new traile
