The Clean Finish Podcast

It's Thursday, and you know what that means: it's another episode of The Clean Finish Podcast! This episode, Greg is flying solo as he discusses the family comedy 'Getting Even with Dad' before talking about the annual 'Winter is Coming', which saw the crowning of the first Women's Tag Team Champions, as well as one hell of a barn burner between Kyle Fletcher and Mike Bailey!

It's been a while! But we're back and here to discuss the Full Gear card but not until we first talk about a whole bunch of other things like: Hip Hop (And Other Things), The Haunting, Nouvelle Vague, new movies, and Ted Danson. Then, the guys break down the entire card of Full Gear and what matches they're stoked on, which matches they are tired of, and which ones they're cautiously optimistic ab...

Wow, Greg watched a lot of movies! He touches on Behind the Mask, Host, and even V/H/S Halloween and then Ryan talks about D&D inspired cottage-core book Legends & Lattes. And then...that's right! WrestleDream 2025! What ultimately worked, what surprised us, and...where the fuck are things going? 

Life is really being a b-word right now and as much as they tried, Ryan and Greg just couldn't get together for a Road to WrestleDream episode...BUT! Ryan still has a minisode with his predictions and the guys will be back detailing the full card after WrestleDream 2025!

Technical errors be damned, even though the guys lost the first session recording of this episode, they took some time off and returned for part two of their Halloween special. Before they continue their one-movie-per-year picks, picking back up in 2012, Ryan discusses new Grady Hendrix Witchcraft for Wayward Girls and Greg keeps up the creepy vibes with Winterbeast. Then...two hours of non-stop h...

Before tearing into ALL OUT 2025, Ryan discusses new Pete Davidson horror vehicle The Home and Greg loves on 1988's The Vanishing. Then...IT'S ALL OUT. What matches did the guys think they would love and fell flat? What matches were approached with trepidation and won them over? And what kind of name is "The Demand?!"

Two disturbing movies this week: Greg saw the new King adaptation The Long Walk and Ryan discusses the mockumentary horror Strange Harvest. Then, everything September to Remember! The guys discuss the matches and storylines headed into All Out, eating ladders, Don Callis's scar and more!

Before we get into this weeks Dynamite, Ryan discusses what he THOUGHT was a Scorsese flick but actually ended up being Dead Calm while Greg breaks into Needful Things; the movie, not the book. Then, DYNAMITE! What matches stood out, what let us down...and what the hell are they going to do with Daniel Garcia?

It's September, which means...it's basically Halloween. Greg touches on Congo before fully diving into The Last Matinee and Ryan obviously missed the memo because he's talking F1. Then...Dynamite! In an episode full of great matches, which one stood on top? We're here discussing the tag team champs, the Don Callis Family, and more!  

In a rare moment, Greg and Ryan both discuss a 2025 movie; Ryan went and saw The Toxic Avenger and Greg caught up with Friendship, both to mixed results. Then...with 60 days until Halloween, the boys pick a horror favorite per year, from 2000 to 2012 in this first parter episode of our Halloween Special!

Before we jump into this months AEW PPV, Ryan talks a small little slasher called Spellcaster while Greg dives into the fourth entry of the everyones favorite archaeologist, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Then...all things Forbidden Door! The guys each pick a favorite Zero Hour match, assign ratings, and discuss just how damn good that commentary team was. All that...and more!

No movie for Ryan this week! Instead, he discusses the horror-tinged episodes of Dawson's Creek and Greg DIVES (you see what I did there?) into Poseidon from 2006. Then, the guys discuss this weeks go-home Dynamite before Forbidden Door in London, and break the entire card down. What matches are we stoked for, which ones have our pulse flat-lining, and which ones are just pleasant little surprises...

No AEW talk here today! After Ryan discusses weirdo werewolf movie Mom from 1990 and Greg discusses this years Freaky Tales, the two dive into this years horror hit Weapons. Major spoilers ahead!

We're back for another Dynamite leading up to Forbidden Door 2025, but first! Ryan saw Together and Greg revisited Resident Evil (2002) and the two discuss horror that just misses the mark in different ways. Then, a discussion on a Dynamite that was...not as good as last week? Tune in to find out our thoughts!

Yes! Listeners, it's true, we are back talking AEW Dynamite! But first...Ryan discusses Southern Gothic novel The Darkling and the new I Know What You Did Last Summer while Greg bounces around from the novel IT to the film Fast X. Then, our most homoerotic episode ever. How?! Tune in to find out. 

To celebrate the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale, Greg and Ryan pick 7 existing titles from the collection that they love...PLUS a bonus title that they believe deserves the Criterion treatment. All of this after some love (and hate) for indie the films Incident at Loch Ness and A Knight's War.

We took a little break but Greg and Ryan are BACK to discuss the entire Final Destination franchise and score the deaths, kill by kill. 

In an actual minisode(!), Ryan kicks things off with a discussion on The Ice Cream Man, which is somehow not the worst movie discussed. Katie classes the joint up with Witness in the City before Greg crashes the whole thing down with the original Dungeons and Dragons film. Then Dynamite! A promo and run-in heavy episode with tons of surprise appearances but perhaps the most surprising of all...is...

It’s the week leading into Wrestlemania and we may be an AEW podcast but Ryan definitely dives into the new Peacock exclusive Wrestlemania IX: Becoming A Spectacle. Then Greg discusses kung-fu classic Five Shaolin Masters and Katie touches on gonzo lost movie The Rare Blue Apes of Cannibal Isle. Then, the gang talks about both Dynamite (#288) and Collision (#88), from the Owen Hart Cup Tournament,...

Greg and Katie grace us with another Tubi Tuesday watch...the Adam Copeland feature Money Plane. while Ryan revisits a Val Kilmer nineties vehicle that didn't live up to the nostalgia. Then, Greg and Katie are both back from Dynasty live! That's right, folks! They were there, report back, and the whole gang discusses their feelings on the PPV.

It's a Clean Finish first on this episode! After Ryan discusses What A Way to Go! and Katie dives into an underseen rom-com with It's My Turn. Then, Greg preaches the gospel of Observe and Report.  Instead of covering Collision this week, the gang has decided to tackle their very first AEW Fantasy Draft! Greg and Katie have never drafted so with Ryan's guidance, the crew pulls from the roster wher...

Sorry folks! We lost the audio on our "what we watched and read" but don't fret! We're still here to chat AEW Dynamite. With a little bonus surprise...Greg didn't watch! So Ryan and Katie break the show down and Greg reacts. A Clean Finish first, listen now!

Life got in the way but we are here with our thoughts and feelings on AEW's Revolution! But first, Ryan and Greg did not care for some movies (Mickey 17, Nobody's Fool) whereas Kate found a surprising amount of joy from A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story. Then, the gang dives into another banger year for the Revolution PPV. What matches worked, what didn't, and what injury is Kenny coming...

Greg and Ryan are here to detail the Road to Revolution! But first...Ryan discusses 90's slept on supernatural slasher Sleepstalker and Greg discusses watching a Gene Hackman/Al Pacino joint with Scarecrow. Then, the guys dive into Revolution. What matches are they stoked on, who comes away victorious and do they suspect any surprises along the way?   TIME STAMPS 4:30 - Sleepstalker 14:20 - Scarec...

Some sad news, for the movie and wrestling world, before the gang discusses some movies that hit (Grand Theft Hamlet and Black Gravel) and some that didn't (Companion.) Then, perhaps the most divisive episode yet! One of the crew really didn't care for this Dynamite, while the other two enjoyed it; can you guess who?!
