SHOWNOTES: Hey yo, Adrian! For the first time since Season One, Collateral Cinema is exploring the Rocky franchise, as Beau, Robert, and Ash discuss Rocky II! This 1979 sequel directed by, written by, and starring Sylvester Stallone starts where the original 1976 underdog boxing story left off, with Stallone's Rocky Balboa triumph going the distance with undisputed world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. But where does Rocky's story go from there? How far can his career be propelled, and will he have the chance to finally win the championship he narrowly missed before? How well does the second movie work as a sports drama, as a love story, and as a continuation of a beloved classic? We're here to talk about it all, and it seems we might be continuing the series on a seasonal basis from here on. And if there hasn't been enough 80s cinema content for you this season, stay tuned for our next episode on The Goonies!
Collateral Cinema is on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and is on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, YouTube, iHeartRadio, Chill Lover Radio, and wherever else you get your podcasts!
