Binge Movie Aftertaste – Rocky Retrospective w/ Luke Norris Pt 3
Welcome to the last Aftertaste exclusively featuring everyone’s favorite short on brains underdog named Rocky Balboa. Once again joined by Binge Sports’ own Luke Norris, we go over the last two Rocky films that have been released, and even give a little preview on what we expect from Creed, releasing November 25th from Warner Brothers.
Some of the questions Luke and I contemplate and sometimes answer:
- What was the state of boxing at the time of both these releases?
- How bad were Union Kane’s line deliveries?
- What exactly did Paulie do to lose the Balboa estate?
- Just how long was Rocky in Russia?
- How many f’n Dukes are in Rocky V?!
- Why is the Rocky franchise’s continuity more messed up than Friday the 13th‘s?
- How much do we hate Larry Merchant?
- How much do we love Duke?
- What’s the guy from Heroes doing here, and how did he get the role of Rocky’s son in Rocky Balboa?
- Can Stallone possibly win Best Supporting Actor for his role in Creed?
- Where can you hear our final views on Creed?
- Was Sage Stallone a bad case of Coppola style nepotism or did he come through as Rocky’s son?
- What former franchise cast member eventually sued Sly?
Want more? As they say, this just scratches the surface of what we talk about in this once again epic podcast. I have to say, I have had a blast discussing these movies with Luke. The guy has such an interesting perspective on what state the sport was in at the time of each film’s release, and the parallelism associated with Stallone’s life. Please be sure to check out Sports Mockery, Sportster, The Luke Norris Experience, and every other corner of the internet to check out Norris’ stuff. This may be Luke’s final appearance for Rocky. But never fear. Not to sound too Terminator-ish, he will be back.
