Curtain Jerkers, Episode 32: Funk in Paradise

July 31, 2025

If you read nothing else of our show notes, please read this!

Our friend and universally beloved hardcore king – “King Ugly” to be exact – Jeff Cannonball was recently diagnosed with ALS. IF you do nothing else, even if you shut off this podcast, we ask you consider to throw a few bucks at his GoFundMe, his family really needs everyone’s help!

We have guests coming on to discuss the David Arquette and WCW vehicle Ready to Rumble, as well as some great DDP matches… but scheduling issues forced us to push that to August. So, when all else fails, go to the Terry Funk well, right?

Funk is a fantastic thug with an interesting look in Stallone’s directorial debut Paradise Alley, so this month we take a trip to 1940s NYC with Sly and the gang. Pair this film with some truly great Funker matches and this is a fun one.

Thanks for joining us and we hope you have a blast!

Special thanks to Trais Colton Barhaug for the awesome logo and Justin’s long time friend, Kwalified, a diehard wrestling fan and dope emcee hailing from Hawaii, for our great intro song.
