Garrett Gonzales and Jeremy Finestone are here with Popcorn & Piledrivers to deliver their review of The Smashing Machine, the new movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson based on the life of MMA legend Mark Kerr. This 90-minute discussion tackles the big questions: Is the movie actually good, and why has it struggled at the box office so far?

The film is a major departure for Dwayne Johnson, and the hosts break down his vulnerable performance as the troubled fighter. Did The Rock finally prove he's a serious actor, or is this role just another footnote in his long career?

Here's what Garrett and Jeremy cover in this deep dive:

The quality of the film overall and whether it lived up to the hype.

A critical look at the surprisingly low box office numbers and what that means for Johnson’s future.

Why Emily Blunt's performance as Dawn, while technically good, felt slightly one-note and maybe a little too over-the-top.

The pleasant surprise of Ryan Bader's gentle performance as Mark Coleman, and how real MMA fighters translated to the big screen.

Beyond the main review, the hosts take a journey through Dwayne Johnson's entire filmography, from his early action roles to his recent blockbuster successes. Which films truly stand out, and which ones should be forgotten? Tune in for this comprehensive review and career retrospective!
