Sports Movies #7 – Olympics, Wrestling, Climbing (feat. guest Akiva Wienerkur)

There Will Be Pod

2020 is an Olympic year and to select the best movies made about the Olympics, we went right to the source, inviting the host of 32Fans (our gender neutral sibling pod) and noted Olympics pundit Akiva Wienerker to join us in deciding the best movies ever made about the Olympics, and while we are at it, also Wrestling and Climbing. The ten best movies will go on to compete in the 64 sports movie grand tournament taking place this March.

To see the movies that have been selected so far for the tournament, see here. With two months to go, next month we’ll name the best movies on boxing and finally, the miscellaneous entries.

Two outré songs: (1) the official song and dance number from the 1964 and now 2020 Tokyo Olympics. (2) “The Wrestler” by Bruce Springsteen.
