“The Champ…”
“Yeah.”
“Always comes through.”
“That’s right. That’s right. Right.”
Cheers for that one, Dad - we were supposed to watch a Christmas film with it being Christmas fucking Eve and this wise guy gets the bright idea to watch The Champ.
I’m glad we did because I had not even heard of this film but holy shit I was not prepared for how emotional this film is. Jon Voight is brilliant but Ricky Schroder as T.J sells this film. Faye Dunaway is also phenomenal as the estranged mother/ex-wife.
Seriously should not have watched this on Christmas Eve though.
