Binge Movie Aftertaste – Rocky Retrospective w/ Luke Norris Pt 2
Welcome to week two of Binge Sports’ Luke Norris and me sitting and commiserating about the Rocky franchise. One thing I want to say right off the bat. In week one, we went over Rockys I and II, going over each plot point. We ended up going just under two hours. Here, we hit the two ‘popcorn flicks’ of the series, Rocky III and IV. While doing two of the films with the least amount of plot, what do us two assholes do? Go OVER two hours. Oscars, Schoscars. Let’s talk about Rocky ending communism!
Some of the things gone over in this epic podcast:
- Why does Paulie waste a good bottle of liquor by throwing it into a cool Rocky pinball machine?
- Why is Sly so damn handsome?
- What the hell does Rocky say when Mickey dies?
- Just what did Paulie do with that robot?
- Why didn’t Rocky turn around and run after Drago says ‘I must break you?’
- What Rocky IV moment actually got me to get up and cheer like an asshole in the theater?
- How much of Rocky IV‘s budget was spent on the James Brown production?
- Why was Hogan FIRED for doing Rocky III?
- How the hell did Sly include Christ metaphors in the ultra montage heavy Rocky IV?
- Why isn’t Rocky’s eye a concern anymore?
- How did Dolph Lundgren scare home invaders away, without even being there?
- Why haven’t we christened Rocky for ending Communism?
Thanks once again to Luke for coming on this run down Rocky memory lane with me. Keep coming back week after week until we get to Creed, the upcoming Rocky spin-off film being released November 25th from Warner Brothers.
