Have we talked about “Unstoppable”

[artradley]

JLo plays Anthony Robles’ mother in the story about how Iowa was his first choice but Brands passed on him, then he got revenge by beating an Iowa wrestler for the NCAA championship?

At least, that’s how I read the preview…

I was in Philly for that match with some fellow HORTers, btw.

Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle also star in the directing debut of veteran editor William Goldenberg, based on the underdog story of wrestling champion Anthony Robles.

Just came across a review for it. A couple other pretty good actors. Don Cheadle as Coach Sean Charles, and Bobby Cannavale as Robles' stepfather. Apparently its getting multiple positive reviews. I don't know. Seems like the same formula. And besides the fact I have zero faith they will portray Brands or Iowa accurately, there's no way they'll talk about the inherent advantages not having a leg gives a collegiate wrestler, especially at that weight class.

It’s a great story regardless of how Iowa is portrayed.

Releases in January 2025.

If Brands "passed" on him, it was for Gilman and Clark. Im nothing close to being a qualified wrestling coach or scout but even I know to take Gilman/Clark any day and every day in that scenario.

??? Robles is older than McDonough

McDonough's style was not a good one for beating Anthony Robles. you don't grind with Roblesm shouldve stayed away and outmaneuver him.

just my thoughts. no need to have discussions or replies

I would've liked to see them wrestle multiple matches. I'm guessing Matt would've switched things up. It's a moot point now
