Triple Feature: Queen of the Ring/F1/Magazine Dreams
3Tonight’s triple feature is about bodies turned into currency — fought over, driven to the edge, and sculpted into impossible ideals.
We open with Queen of the Ring — Ash Avildsen’s new biopic of Mildred Burke, starring Emily Bett Rickards. Burke wasn’t just a wrestler, she was the first million-dollar female athlete, the longest-reigning women’s world champion, and a single mother who forced her way into a sport that didn’t want her. Rickards trained with real wrestlers like Kamille and Toni Storm to capture not just the bumps and holds, but the physical revolution Burke embodied. It’s a film about blood, sweat, and every ounce of will it takes to demand equality through violence in the ring.
From there, we slide into Michael Mann’s F1 — a story of speed, ego, and mortality. If Burke’s ring was four ropes, Mann’s arena is the racetrack, where every corner can kill you and every victory requires putting body and machine in perfect sync. It’s about men who turn themselves into missiles, knowing one wrong turn means fire and death.
We close with Magazine Dreams — Jonathan Majors’ portrait of a bodybuilder dissolving under the weight of his own ambition. His body is a weapon, his physique his calling card, but the more he sculpts himself into perfection, the further he drifts from humanity. It’s a movie about the cost of being seen — and what happens when recognition never comes.
Taken together, these films form a grim but riveting arc: the wrestler, the racer, the bodybuilder. Three people who make their bodies into tickets — to fame, to survival, to love — only to discover the price is higher than they ever imagined.
