Will *The Smashing Machine* become a timeless boxing movie like *Cinderella Man*, *The Fighter*, or *Raging Bull*? Probably not. However, that isn’t due to any shortcomings of the director, or the performances of the actors, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Mark Kerr, Emily Blunt as his girlfriend Dawn Staples, and Ryan Bader as his friend and fellow fighter Mark Coleman.
Johnson addressed the film’s box office performance on Instagram, acknowledging that movie success is ultimately out of anyone’s control. More importantly, he emphasized that the movie’s results haven’t diminished the personal impact of playing the role of Kerr, which he described as a life-changing experience. He then shared a message stating:
Sometimes, a truly great movie slips under the radar. That’s what’s happening with *Eephus*, a 2025 film that’s getting incredible reviews but hasn’t yet found a wide audience. Despite being a bit sad and slow-paced, it’s surprisingly exciting and memorable. If you love sports movies, comedies, or enjoy discovering new filmmaking talent, you shouldn’t miss *Eephus*.

With the rise of social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, voice actors are increasingly expected to have an active online presence when applying for jobs. In a recent interview, voice actor Le was asked about the importance of having a large social media following and how it influences casting choices. Le explained that social media presence is now a significant factor for major projects, but personally, they believe it shouldn’t be so important.
Look, for years, *Cujo* pretty much defined animal horror – a terrifying dog turning bad. But a new film, released this year, is completely subverting that trope, and honestly, it’s brilliant. It’s quietly become a huge talking point, racking up a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Director Ben Leonberg takes the idea of a canine lead and flips it – instead of a monster, this dog is a hero. It’s a really interesting shift, and it feels like a sign of how much the horror genre has matured, becoming more about understanding and even *feeling* for its creatures.
