Show Notes
Sam Clements talks to director Benny Safdie about his new film, The Smashing Machine, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, in cinemas now.
From director Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Time) comes The Smashing Machine: the tumultuous rise-and-fall story of legendary mixed martial arts champion Mark Kerr (Dwayne Johnson), his rocky marriage to model Dawn Staples (a predictably excellent Emily Blunt), and the unexpected devastation of an ultimate champion facing defeat.
Dwayne Johnson's colossal emotional and physical performance is a sure-fire starter pistol for awards buzz, as he delivers a brutally vulnerable, heavyweight portrayal of the struggles of a sporting icon.
