Episode 360: Creed III

Posted on by Aaron White.

For the first time, the Rocky franchise moves on without Sylvester Stallone’s iconic character as a part of the story, centering this tale around the recently retired Adonis Creed, his family, and an old friend turned new antagonist whose explosive presence creates a dilemma that can only be dealt with one way – in the ring, of course. We mostly think it’s a mixed bag that doesn’t live up to the exquisite storytelling level of the first two entries, but explosive fight sequences and solid drama are there in spurts.

Episode 359: Rocky IV/Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago

Posted on by Aaron White.

Only one man can get revenge for his best friend’s death and stop the Cold War dead in its tracks during a single boxing match, and that’s exactly what Rocky Balboa does. We discuss our enjoyment of this entry in the famous fighting sport franchise not only by talking about ROCKY IV but also Stallone’s recent Director’s Cut version, ROCKY IV: ROCKY VS. DRAGO, through comparison and contrast.

Episode 137: Creed II

Posted on by Aaron White.

This week we continue our franchise talk and discuss a sequel that we both very much wanted to love. Our conversation about Creed II is one of shared admiration and we thoroughly enjoyed unpacking its theme of fatherhood,  weighing the way it continues the stories in both Rocky IV and Creed, and pondering whether we think this is a fitting end for our beloved Rocky Balboa.

Episode 136: Creed

Posted on by Aaron White.

We’ve patiently waited for this week to come so that we could discuss one of our favorite films. Ryan Coogler’s Creed refreshes the Rocky franchise with as much heart and style as it has ever seen, introducing a new character for us to join on his emotional journey to discover his identity and find relationship. In this super-sized episode, we thoroughly explain everything about Creed that makes it so special to us, and even rank the Rocky franchise before diving into this week’s main conversation.
