Bipolar Rock N Roller - Mauro Ranallo Story
- Thread starter Hong Kong Phooey
- Start date
Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, May 25 at 9PM ET/PT. The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.
Didn't this come out like a year ago? I'm pretty sure I watched it. Mauro can be cringy at times but it was a pretty interesting documentary about him...
Haven't watched it, but that title is cringe-inducing.
He's already trying to profit off his struggles with mental illness and then that title goes and trivializes it, which kind of defeats the legitimate purpose of showing how serious the illness is.
It's good to talk about mental illness and reduce stigma around it. It's not good to use it as a personal branding exercise.
