Hands of Stone (2016)
<div>This week, the Mikes step into the ring with Hands of Stone, a biopic that tries to capture the rise of boxing legend Roberto Durán—and maybe a few too many other things along the way. We break down the film's rushed pacing, strong-but-underdeveloped performances, and how its "highlight reel" structure both helps and hurts the story. Plus: awkward editing choices, the challenge of covering an entire life in two hours, and whether the movie ever really lands its emotional punches.</div> <div> </div> <div>Wikipedia page for <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hands_of_Stone">Hands of Stone</a>.</div> <div> </div> <div>Films recommended this episode:</div> <div> </div> <ul> <li><a href="https://boxd.it/1So8">The Wrestler</a></li> <li><a href="https://boxd.it/jWEA">Knives Out</a></li> </ul> <div> </div> <div>Follow Mike and Mike on Letterboxd <a href= "https://boxd.it/5DbHp">@MikeBackAtYou</a> and <a href= "https://boxd.it/5OVqL">@mikethefab</a>, email them at <a href= "mailto:mike@ourherodeniro.com">mike@ourherodeniro.com</a>, check out their website <a href= "https://www.ourherodeniro.com/">ourherodeniro.com</a>, and find them on social media at <a href= "https://allmylinks.com/ourherodeniro">allmylinks.com/ourherodeniro</a>.</div> <div> </div> <div>Next week: <a href="https://boxd.it/gwqc">Land Shark</a></div> <div> </div> <div>Supplemental link:</div> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSU9oL5nLMA">Mark McGrath is called "Sugar Gay"</a></li> </ul>

Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), with Philip (a.k.a. "Lips")
<div>This week, the Mikes are joined by returning guest Philip (a.k.a. Lips) to dig into Bang the Drum Slowly, a melancholy baseball drama about friendship, mortality, and the quiet bonds formed inside a clubhouse. We break down Robert De Niro's early-career performance as doomed catcher Bruce Pearson, Michael Moriarty's understated narration, and why the film works better as a character study than a traditional sports movie. Along the way, we debate De Niro's Southern accent, unpack the film's surprisingly restrained approach to tragedy, and reflect on what makes baseball such fertile ground for stories about masculinity and loss. Plus: boomerang discourse, Nicorette sponsorship dreams, and how often to replace your toilet brush.</div> <div> </div> <div>Wikipedia page for <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_the_Drum_Slowly_%28film%29"> Bang the Drum Slowly</a>.</div> <div> </div> <div>Films recommended this episode:</div> <div> </div> <ul> <li><a href="https://boxd.it/KzLW">Eephus</a></li> <li><a href="https://boxd.it/EsWw">Jay Kelly</a></li> <li><a href="https://boxd.it/1PUU">Eight Men Out</a></li> </ul> <div> </div> <div>Follow Mike and Mike on Letterboxd <a href= "https://boxd.it/5DbHp">@MikeBackAtYou</a> and <a href= "https://boxd.it/5OVqL">@mikethefab</a>, email them at <a href= "mailto:mike@ourherodeniro.com">mike@ourherodeniro.com</a>, check out their website <a href= "https://www.ourherodeniro.com/">ourherodeniro.com</a>, and find them on social media at <a href= "https://allmylinks.com/ourherodeniro">allmylinks.com/ourherodeniro</a>.</div> <div> </div> <div>Next week: <a href="https://boxd.it/5B6a">Hands of Stone</a></div>

Last Vegas (2013)
<div>This week, the Mikes dig into Last Vegas, a glossy, late-career comedy about aging, friendship, and one last shot at feeling young again. We break down Robert De Niro's grieving widower, Michael Douglas's midlife (late-life?) crisis engagement, and how the film juggles four leads while never quite giving any of them enough to do. Along the way, we debate whether the Vegas setting is totally wasted, unpack the film's surprisingly conservative take on aging and relationships, and question why any casino would comp that penthouse. Plus: LMFAO nostalgia, terrifying Stratosphere rides, and one of the strangest celebrity cameos you'll ever see.</div> <div> </div> <div>Wikipedia page for <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Vegas">Last Vegas</a>.</div> <div> </div> <div>Films recommended this episode:</div> <div> </div> <ul> <li><a href="https://boxd.it/26vC">The Game</a></li> <li><a href="https://boxd.it/FLa4">How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies</a></li> </ul> <div> </div> <div>Follow Mike and Mike on Letterboxd <a href= "https://boxd.it/5DbHp">@MikeBackAtYou</a> and <a href= "https://boxd.it/5OVqL">@mikethefab</a>, email them at <a href= "mailto:mike@ourherodeniro.com">mike@ourherodeniro.com</a>, check out their website <a href= "https://www.ourherodeniro.com/">ourherodeniro.com</a>, and find them on social media at <a href= "https://allmylinks.com/ourherodeniro">allmylinks.com/ourherodeniro</a>.</div> <div> </div> <div>Next week: <a href="https://boxd.it/WR2">Bang the Drum Slowly</a></div> <div> </div> <div>Supplemental links:</div> <ul> <li><a href= "https://youtu.be/AUIsp7dgcP4?si=LOEKPt1UmSAbvhSH">MikeBackAtYou does SkyJump Las Vegas</a></li> <li><a href="https://imgur.com/a/pGKuL5x">Mikethefab does X-Scream Las Vegas</a></li> <li><a href="https://imgur.com/iGMNjUS">Picture of mikethefab wearing his glasses chain</a></li> </ul>
