Ultra HD puts Stanley Kubrick’s second feature film in a new light — his B&w images of New York lend a ‘Weegee’ flavor to the tale of a prizefighter who comes to the rescue of a dance hall girl. Kubrick does better sticking to the urban streets he knows so well; the cast scores via his strong direction and art museum-quality images. The post-dubbed soundtrack is the weak link, and perhaps Kubrick’s somewhat awkward flashback gear changes. But for 1955 he’s definitely a talent on the way. Kino’s disc carries an analytical commentary by Imogen Sara Smith.

Originally founded by Jeff and Jerry Jarrett in 2002, then named Tna (Total Nonstop Action) came onto the wrestling scene fresh off of WCW and Ecw’s demise. Still, promotions like Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling existed; however, there was something that Tna had that those two companies didn’t: mainstream stars. Well, maybe not stars on the level of The Rock or Stone Cold, but recognizable names like Ken Shamrock, Jerry Lynn, Konnan, and yes, even Jeff Jarrett. Tna was presented as an edgier product than its wrestling counterpart, WWE, just out of the period when the biggest wrestling

Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Bob Ryder, long-time Impact talent coordinator and legendary wrestling reviewer/journalist has died. Known for his love of wrestling, Ryder was a polarizing figure in professional wrestling who admitted to professional sycophancy during his run with World Championship Wrestling towards that league’s end. Ryder had been primarily known at that point for starting 1wrestling.com with Dave Scherer, which saw its end when Scherer and Mike Johnson went off to create pwinsider.com (some believe this to have happened due to major financial issues on Ryder’s end). Ryder is credited by many to have pitched the idea of Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling to Jeff and Jerry Jarrett and would eventually join the company to work with the booking of talent on the show itself. It is in this capacity that Ryder...

The Broken Skull Sessions began with Steve Austin talking to The Undertaker. The second episode saw Austin talk with Bill Goldberg, and now, on the third episode, we see The Texas Rattlesnake sit down and talk wrestling, politics and life with “The Big Red Machine” Kane.
I was excited when this episode was announced in the same way I was when I heard about Austin’s episode with The Undertaker. Kane is a character I watched from his debut until, well… right now when he makes the odd appearance on WWE television, and his long and winding career has been something I’ve wanted to hear about for a long while. He was, after all, in a similar way to ‘Taker, very protected by WWE as far as hearing real-life stuff from him during his run. I’ve seen Glenn Jacobs speak more about his career than I have The Undertaker,...
