Happy belated Father’s Day to all of you out there in Legion land. We have prepared a feast of muscle and metal with an all star cast. We are joined by Brian M. Sammons of The ABCs Of Hidden Horror and my former broadcasting partner on The Bird and The Beard, Hawke Wood. We discuss two films featuring two beefy dads and their unruly kids in this double bill. First up, when trucking and montages come first and his son comes second, it’s up to Lincoln Hawk to reconnect with his son and somehow sway Robert Loggia with the power of Kenny Loggins and arm wrestling. All this and motor oil drinking madmen in Over The Top. Then, when man is down and machines are king in the world of boxing, it’s up to Charlie Kenton to hustle his son, some gnarly promoters and bring an obsolete robot to the top of the ranks. All this and bull punching in Real Steel.
