In which our heroes talk s*** about Sylvester Stallone's most iconic character - RockyIn this episode we dive into a movie franchise that has so far spawned 9 movies over almost 50 years and with more spin offs in the works, shows no sign of stopping. This week we get into the Rocky-verse!So while Rocky famously loses the fight but wins the girl in the first film, he gets another shot at the title in Rocky 2, loses and reclaims the belt in 3, avenges the death of Apollo Creed in 4, retires and becomes a trainer in Rocky V, is brought out of retirement to lose an exhibition fight in Rocky Balboa before working with Apollos Son in the Creed series...on top of that theres a Creed 4 in the works, a Drago film, talks around Rocky 7 as well as a Rocky prequel series so it seems even nearly 50 years since the first film Rocky is still a license to print money.
