    Total Arnold 2023

    What an incredible way to end (for now!) what has been a nearly 6-month journey through everything Arnold. Every movie, behind the scenes documentary, and appearance listed on LB. His book, and several others about him. Now this doc to cap it all off. I’ve had such a great time and I’m more emotional about it than I’d like to admit, but here we are.

    Quick thoughts up front. This was an entertaining and relatively comprehensive documentary.…

    Total Carl 2025

    What’s wrong with being decent? Don’t cost nobody nothing.

    Way better than a TV movie remake of a 50s movie with Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier has any right to be. 

    Shot better than most TV movies I’ve seen. Carl and Robert Urich both had producing credits on this. I wonder if it was Carl throwing some of his post Rocky weight/money around. 

    It’s a simple story, but very well told and both men in the leads give excellent performances. On Tubi and worth a watch.

I don’t want to see you on your phone googling the difference between a bock and an amber beer in the midst of your 8 minute conversation with your server when we are already 15 minutes deep into the movie. And to the other person behind us, we don’t need to…
