With my own experiences with arm-wrestling being a sprained-wrist in the schoolyard courtesy of the class bully that watched Over the Top on repeat with no parental supervision, needless to say, I was very wary of the film Golden Arm – a 2020 road-trip arm-wrestling flick that was filmed in Oklahoma City.
But with my upper haunches still smarting from all those years ago, I decided to stream the film on HBO Max – old playground war wounds be damned.
In its simplest form, Golden Arm is a buddy flick.
