What? Another podcast about Rocky on this channel? As the Stallion himself would say (and he would say it often), absolutely. This makes 3 out of 57 episodes of Scoring At The Movies (that's 5%, y'know) that have made the run across Philly to punch and/or pack some meat, to fly now and to improbably win boxing matches. Rocky II is a bit of a schizo movie. It's so grounded and real for an hour, then Mister Balboa turns into the Superman we would see for the next few sequels.
Ryan loves the first half (especially the hallway scene that's been discussed in other episodes), but Chris is an unabashed fan of the entire 2 hours of this boxing flick. We discuss another possible reason (besides absolute fantasy) that Rocky beats Apollo in Superfight 2 and we also devise a theory about Adrian's "win" blessing. So turn up the volume so you can hear stupid things better as we go back and forth about Sly Stallone's one that sequeled 'em all.
Hey, yo, tweet at us, y'know. We are @moviefiend51 and @scoringatmovies
It's an unexpected theme of Boxing Month here in August, so in 2 weeks, we'll be digging into the Irish guts of The Fighter.
