Episode 48: The UNREALISM of Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua

On this episode of The Damaged Ones, Mike Garcia and Sarah Altand tear into the spectacle-first era of entertainment and combat sports—starting with the pre-fight hype around Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua. We make one thing clear: the only acceptable outcome is a quick finish. Anything else feels dishonest, dragged out, and designed purely for clicks, buys, and headlines. Because let’s be real—we all know this is spectacle, not sport.

That same sense of unrealism is why certain shows lose us completely. We break down why Netflix’s “Boots” failed to connect, especially in how it portrays a Marine operating in ways that feel flat-out unbelievable. When what we’re watching breaks logic, immersion dies—and audiences walk.

From there, we zoom out into a bigger conversation: why more people are choosing streaming over the movie theater experience. Overpriced tickets, disruptive crowds, endless previews—at what point does staying home just make more sense?

And yes… we also debate one of the wildest choices a person can make: getting someone else’s face tattooed onto your own face—and why that decision is almost never a good idea.
