'The Smashing Machine' + The Fall Of Film Festivals And What's Giving Us Good Vibes | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 4

Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. step into the ring to review The Smashing Machine, the gritty biographical drama from writer/director Benny Safdie (of Uncut Gems and Good Time fame).

The A24 film stars a transformative Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as MMA pioneer and former UFC champion Mark Kerr, with Emily Blunt as his then-girlfriend Dawn Staples. They get into Johnson's career of onscreen performances, the film's unflinching realism, and how it all landed on them.

Tune in for their verdict: is this challenging watch a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?" Plus, the hosts share what's giving them good vibes this week and play a new version of the Black Cinema Games!
