(Deep Dive begins at 43:35) "Every underdog has his day." Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and BFF of the BFE from The Scuttlebutt Podcast (Megs, B-Tech Kev & Liam are off training for their next big fight) – as we step into the ring for grit, determination, and Depression-era boxing in Cinderella Man (2005). We're swapping a grimy Edinburgh flat for Madison Square Garden and diving into our 267th episode as we discuss: How Russell Crowe delivers a knockout performance as James J. Braddock. Renée Zellweger's role as the supportive yet strong Mae Braddock – does she get enough credit? Does Paul Giamatti steal the show as the passionate manager, Joe Gould? The realism of the boxing sequences – do they hold up in 2024? Is it fair to call this film a boxing film or is it something else? Who is the biggest villain of the movie: the Great Depression, Promoter James Johnston, Max Baer, or the system keeping Braddock down? Could this be Ron Howard's most underrated film? We talk about hockey's Four Nations tournament and why sports make the best narratives.  Whether Cinderella Man is the Best Film Ever.

Today, we're lacing up our gloves and stepping into the ring with a real underdog story, Cinderella Man.Directed by Ron Howard, Cinderella Man takes us back to the Great Depression, where we meet James J. Braddock, a once-promising boxer forced into retirement after a string of losses. Played with a compelling blend of grit and vulnerability by Russell Crowe, Braddock struggles to support his family during these tough times. But as fate would have it, he gets a second chance – an opportunity to fight again, and this time, it's about much more than just a title.This film isn't just a boxing movie; it's a powerful tale of perseverance, family, and the human spirit. Renee Zellweger shines as Braddock's steadfast wife, Mae, offering a portrayal that's both tender and strong. Paul Giamatti, as Braddock's trainer and friend, Joe Gould, delivers a stellar performance, capturing the essence of the boxing world during one of its darkest times.Cinderella Man takes us through an emotional rollercoaster. From the gritty reality of life during the Depression to the exhilarating highs of Braddock's unexpected comeback, the film is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It's a story that reminds us that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought outside the ring.So, Dads, let's talk about this incredible journey of a man who became a symbol of hope for many during a time of despair. And, in true Bad Dads fashion, we'll also share our own stories of resilience, be it in parenting, life, or that time we tried to fix the sink and ended up flooding the kitchen.Join us as we delve into the inspiring world of Cinderella Man – a tale that proves sometimes life's hardest knocks lead to its greatest triumphs.

This is the thirteenth installment in Eric's epic summer series covering the contentious and war-torn season of American history from 1914 to 1974. In this episode, he explores the extraordinary life of James J. Braddock and his indomitable spirit. In 1935, many Americans were at wit's end, not knowing how long this Depression would last and how they could possibly take another step forward. In the midst of this harrowing time in our nation's history, Jimmy Braddock showed everyone the power of an iron chin.

His name was James J. Braddock. In 1929 he was the middleweight contender for boxing champion of the world. He had it all- a wonderful wife, 3 kids, a nice home, and money in the bank- because boxers were the highest paid athletes in those days. The depression hit, his bank failed- and all his money was gone. He lost his house, his boxing skills faded after breaking his right hand in a bout, and he soon found himself working part time at the docks to try to support his wife and kids who were living in a run- down apartment. He finally had to go on welfare. He had a manager named Joe Gould, who never gave up on him, and got him a big fight in 1934- which he won, And then another. Then he took $300 and took it to the county welfare office and paid them back for what he had taken. Then he got the chance of a lifetime- to fight Max Baer for the heavyweight title. Max Baer had killed a man in the ring, and considered Braddock to be a washed up has-been. Max Baer had a surprise in store. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

For this week's dive into film and faith, Vince and I talked about the incredible story of James J. Braddock. Cinderella Man is one of my all-time favorite films and is a true testament to hard work, love, loyalty, and sacrifice.

Jim, che si è fratturato una mano e ha perso la licenza di boxeur, tira avanti a stento come scaricatore di porto. Ma un'imprevedibile seconda possibilità lo rimette in pista e dà inizio alla favola della "Cenerentola del ring"."In tutta la storia della boxe non troverete mai un'altra storia che, dal punto di vista umano, sia comparabile a quella di James J. Braddock". In queste parole di Damon Runyon, poste a esergo del film di Ron Howard, sta il senso di un film che è molto di più di una storia di boxe.Cinderella man è uno di quei solidi classici che la Hollywood di una volta sembrava saper sfornare con una certa frequenza e di cui oggigiorno c'è davvero penuria, una celebrazione enfatica, forse, ma mai smaccatamente retorica, del sogno americano e di un uomo che lo ha reso veroper se stesso e per milioni di diseredati in uno dei periodi più difficili della storia americana, la Grande Depressione. […]Il Jim Braddock di Russel Crow (forse l'unico, tra gli interpreti di oggi, capace di fondere con tanta naturalezza la violenza del ring e la tenerezza familiare del personaggio) è davvero un eroe a tutto tondo, per cui certo la boxe è una vocazione (ma lui più correttamente lo chiama mestiere), ma soprattutto il mezzo con cui sostenere la sua famiglia, che rimane chiaramente al centro del suo cuore.Così, se si costringe a combattere con una mano rotta non è tanto per il bisogno di vincere a tutti i costi, ma perché ha negli occhi la miseria (mai gridata, ma non per questo meno drammatica) dei suoi, per cui anche una sconfitta onorevole può significare una cena, l'affitto o il riscaldamento.La povertà della Meggie Fitzgerald di Eastwood era aggravata dalla solitudine e da un ambiente familiare freddo e ostinale, e dunque per lei la boxe diventava, oltre che via di riscatto e di affermazione di sé, anche la fonte di uno straordinario (e unico) rapporto personale per una perdente solitaria. Per Jim Braddock, la moglie Mae e i figli sono una presenza costante negli occhi e nel cuore (anche se lei non viene mai ad assistere ai suoi incontri e durante il match decisivo preferisce andare in chiesa a pregare) e la fonte più autentica del suo straordinario coraggio.Un coraggio che si esprime in tutti i colpi dati e incassati sul ring, ma con una limpidezza ancora più cristallina quando, di fronte alla necessità di allontanare i suoi bambini per non farli morire di fame, Jim si umilia, prima andando a richiedere il sussidio statale, e poi mendicando letteralmente nella sede dell'Associazione pugilistica davanti a coloro che lo avevano rovinato togliendogli la licenza di boxeur.Howard, in un film di ampio respiro, si prende il tempo di parlarci, oltre che di boxe (ma gli incontri che ritmano l'ascesa di Braddock al titolo mondiale sono filmati benissimo, coinvolgenti e a tratti impressionanti per la loro fisicità), anche del tessuto sociale profondamente ferito dell'epoca della Depressione; delle baracche costruite nel Central Park, dove vivono persone fino a poco tempo prima benestanti, degli uomini che lottano per un lavoro a giornata, di quelli che, come il manager di Jim, Joe Gould, tentano di mantenere l'apparenza del benessere perché quello è l'unico modo per farcela, mentre pochi gaudenti a Manhattan continuano a bere champagne e a ballare.Se l'avventura di Jim Braddock è la realizzazione quasi perfetta del sogno americano dell'eroe che cade e poi risorge, il film non si fa sconti mostrando, attraverso la parabola opposta di un compagno di lavoro e amico di Jim, anche le tante vittime di quel sogno e di un sistema in cui, come è data la possibilità di realizzarsi con le proprie forze, altrettanto facile è perdersi ed essere dimenticati.Tuttavia, ancor più che l'esaltante parabola sportiva che culmina in uno scontro di Davide e Golia, a lasciare incantati in questa pellicola è la semplicità con cui viene descritto l'ambiente familiare dei Braddock.Il momento della crisi più profonda di Jim, quando vede impotente i suoi bambini consumarsi per il freddo e la fame, coincide anche con una crisi religiosa. I Braddock sono iralndesi e la presenza della Chiesa, nei panni di un prete così appassionato di boxe da organizzare una preghiera comunitaria in occasione dell'incontro più importante, con tanto di radio per la cronaca in diretta, è discreta ma reale. Il rifiuto di Jim di unirsi alla preghiera serale cui lo invita sua moglie Mae ci fa capire più di ogni altra cosa quanto poco manchi perché anche lui si arrenda a un destino spietato che non riesce più ad affrontare. Eppure anche in questi momenti Jim non perde lo sguardo pieno d'amore sui suoi, che si tratti di cedere la sua colazione alla bambina più piccola o di far restituire un salame rubato al macellaio. Pochi film come questo hanno saputo descrivere la bellezza di un rapporto educativo e di quanto può significare lo sguardo di un padre e di una madre sui propri figli.

This week on the Men at the Movies podcast, we break down the movie Cinderella Man starring Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger, and Paul Giamatti. Crisis reveals character, and in James J. Braddock we see a reflection of true fatherhood. He used his creativity to create a world of hope, refusing to allow it to fuel his fear. The fights we face aren't about us, but handling them with integrity bring inspiration to others. It's time to get in the ring, and discover God's truth in this movie. Questions What crises have you experienced? How do you respond in a crisis? Does your creativity envision a hopeful future, or a fear-filled future? What is your experience with “father?” What words come to mind when you hear that term? How do you dignify your partner's role in your life? What do you do that diminish that dignity?

Josh North returns to the bench to team with Scott (big mistake) in this game, playing against Walling & Josh. David inadvertently tortured our six-time guest player with a range of questions that left our guest to exasperatedly muse, "By thought-provoking, I think David really means impossible". Josh North did admit to having googled one of the answers multiple times, but couldn't pull the answer when it mattered. Thankfully, Josh North helped both teams by clarifying that the Modern Olympics must have started when the athletes put on clothes and stopped wrestling. https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast?ref_id=16480

When your best friends come to town how do you entertain them? Put 'em on the podcast!  These two guests are gentlemen of the highest caliber, extremely talented to the point of being finalists on America's Got Talent in 2013 along with the rest of their family.  They tell stories of their basketball-spinning, unicycle riding, world traveling history and experiences that have shaped them.  You might remember them from when they came to Jefferson for the 2019 Bell Tower Festival, but when they are home-based, Isaiah is a doctor of chiropractic, and Caleb is a master craftsman and entrepreneur based out of Brookings and Elkton, South Dakota.  Topics reached into are health and the difference between reactive and proactive medicine, who an influential historical figure was for us (persons mentioned were Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teddy Roosevelt, and James J Braddock), and the path to becoming great, the 10,000 hour principle, and being a Guinness world record holder for spinning the most basketballs at one time! This episode is can't miss!

There are certain areas across the United States that seem to draw UFOs. Catalina Island, off the coast of Southern California, is a place where you can see UFOs coming in and out of the water, and where, in 2014 it was rumored that one Google Earth image showed an underwater alien base under the water. Well, that claim turned out to be bunk, but the area is still known as UFO hot spot. On September 20th, 2011 Chuck Zukowski introduced the world to a new theory called the 37th Degree Theory. Chuck noted how a number of UFO sightings and cattle mutilations were concentrated all along the 37th parallel. There are other infamous hot spots around the United States, such as the Pine Bush area of upstate New York, the American Southwest, and Pacific Northwest to name a few. One ordinary town has seen a fair share of UFO sightings since 1975. North Bergen, a town of 60,000 residents, can be found just across the Hudson river, opposite Manhattan. On January 12, 1975, a dramatic landing took place in North Hudson Park, across from the famed Stonehenge apartment complex. From West 89th Street in Manhattan, this building can been seen. Today, it’s towering edifice serves as a monument to a strange incident involving a UFO and a group of short beings that took an interest in the soil.

In this episode, Jayson and Bryan venture into the story of the iconic boxer James J. Braddock, also known as Cinderella Man.  We break down his life story from his birth in New York's infamous Hell's Kitchen, living through the Spanish Flu Pandemic, losing everything in the Great Depression, and from the bottom rising up from extreme poverty to becoming the world boxing heavyweight champion.  A man of deep faith that lived out his principles and would not compromise to the easy way out.  A great example for our current day.  The question is why do we not have these kind of heroes emerging today, or have we created a society that villainizes those who would dare hold true to their values in spite of all the odds? The quote that best summarizes this episode is from Father Charles Rorick: "Maybe Sometimes people need to see someone do it so they can do it themselves."
