Rediscovered #12 - Body Slam

Jason Gross August 28, 2023

Jason and Wyatt return for another episode of "Rediscovered," a podcast series reviewing obscure TV, moves, and cartoons from the '80s. Episode 12 reviews the 1986 movie Body Slam starring Dirk Benedict, Tanya Roberts, and Roddy Piper. This action comedy follows a down-on-his-luck music manager whose luck changes when he mistakenly begins to also managing a wrestling tag team.

Our podcast goes in depth on the film including its development, cast and crew, and home video history. We'll also give our review including our favorite/least favorite characters and scenes and an overall rating of rediscovering the movie or leaving it in the past.

We also welcome your comments on Body Slam and any suggestions for TV shows, movies, or cartoons for us to review in future episodes. Tweet us @RD80s and @infamouswb or Leave us a VOICEMAIL and we'll respond to it on our next episode.

    Hey guys. Great episode. I haven't thought of this movie in years! Have you guys seen Grunt The Wrestling Movie? It's a super cool Mockumentry about A wrestler who decapitates another wrestler and then disappears from the public eye. Stars Randy Of The Redwoods...
