I spent way to long on this stupid thing. This is my first time ever making a movie poster. I know that there is a part of the foot missing, at the time I was cutting out the robot I didn't think it was gonna take so long and now I don't want to go back and fix it. Also I would like some help on putting names for the bottom credits. I didn't name some of them different from the names on the poster I was going off of.

Oh yeah, I should say what this thing is. It's based off of a conversation on today's (12/18/2015) Beastcast where @vinny had this idea for a robot football game and it went from there.

Edit: The clip in question. Thanks to Myggen myggen for making the clip.

Man, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's Jamie Foxx. With two Xs. It's dumb, I know.

It's a shame this didn't come up before the game jam. Would've been interesting to see what people did

Can you provide a closeup of that bottom text, it's a bit hard to read. Otherwise, awesome job!

Considering this is a robot league, there are not nearly enough buzz saws coming out of the field.

I know it would be a cliché filled movie, but I would still watch it because it would be the funniest thing.

Love the poster!

I just listened to the Beastcast today. I would pay a lot of money to see The Iron Grid. Great work with the poster.

@lifeasclarity: you caught me! I searched for movie posters and used the first one as a template, which was The Dark Knight. XD

Just came to me. The Iron Grid is literally just the plot of that Simpsons episode where Bart and Homer join a robot fighting league but it's actually Homer in the suit.

Unfortunately, the name of CNET's resident hockey fan and youth pastor is Jeff Bakalar, not Jeff Backular.

Can I just say that I love that the tagline on the movie poster is "3rd and long" (as per the discussion), even though that is just generic football terminology that doesn't especially have any other meaning whatsoever. Or I dunno, it implies desperation, but it's subpar, even for a football movie.

The idea for the movie is almost verbatim the script of Steel, the twilight zone episode that inspired the movie Real Steel... at least the first 5 minutes of that conversation.

Great work with the poster
