Pro Wrestlers in Movies: The Bad and The Ugly - Suburban Commando and Money Plane

Bury Our Bones With Cinema

In this riotous solo episode, Ryan Etherington steps into the ring to tackle the misfires of pro wrestlers transitioning to the silver screen. Taking a close (and cringe-worthy) look at Hulk Hogan’s out-of-place antics in Suburban Commando and the chaotic absurdity of Edge in Money Plane, Ryan explores why these films failed to capitalize on the natural charisma and larger-than-life personas of their stars.

With sharp critique and plenty of laughs, Ryan unpacks how even the biggest wrestling icons can’t save a bad script or misguided direction. Whether you’re a wrestling fan or just love a good cinematic trainwreck, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why did they do this?”
