In addition to breaking each film down, they cover Stallone's initial inspiration for the story, the original studio choices for actors to portray Rocky and why Rocky shouldn't be viewed as an unworthy Oscar winner.

  1. Just finished the 2nd 'cast. Great observations towards Rocky 1 and 2. Rocky 2 may be one of lesser-favorite Rocky films, but it definitely has one of the best endings. What a buildup. We're screaming for Rocky to get up in the audience, the same way Pauly, Adrian, and the people in the spectrum are. Man, that's one movie theater experience I wish I could've been alive for.
