Before we begin, let me alert you that the content of this episode includes conversation about mental health struggles and suicide, which can be distressing for some people. Don't worry, we don't go into too much detail, but if you are uncomfortable about that kind of thing, you may want to avoid this episode. Imagine it's 3:00 AM, and your life is coming apart at the seams.You don't know how you can keep going, and maybe you're not sure you want to. Even if you believe this will pass if only you could get some sleep, you really need someone to hear your story and provide you some sort of comfort and support.Who would answer the call if you dialed their number right now? Is there even one person who comes to mind?Keith McNally was there and realized there was not one single person in the entire world who he felt would be there for him in his hour of desperate need.Growing up, he followed all the Catholic traditions and holidays, and gained the values of being kind, being yourself, and doing what's right. After high school, he joined the Marines. Then went on to college and all the way through to completing his PhD. He embarked on a successful career that included working in IT and being a professor of information technology.Along the way, he discovered how his values didn't so much change as he redefined their meanings and how he interpreted them. However, he says, he spent most of his adult life not knowing who he really was. He played roles and carried titles and filled expectations of others. But he didn't dig into and examine what was really important to him. Didn't ask himself, what is my life about? What is my philosophy of living? Which is why, perhaps from the outside, things looked fine for a while – but Fine is a 4-Letter Word.Between 1996 and 2021, he attempted suicide five times.It was after that fifth attempt that he took a good, hard look at things and realized he wasn't sure who he was, who he was meant to be – and that he had nobody to talk to about anything, really.In a moment, when you meet Keith, you'll discover the baby steps he took to turn things around. It started with simply talking to people on LinkedIn and listening to them tell their stories, which led to him launching several podcasts and YouTube channels. In the same time period, he started to focus on his physical health in a new way, adapting his exercise routine and his diet. And just when he was getting in better physical shape, building his resilience muscles and support networks to prevent another suicide attempt that could leave his teenage daughter without a dad – he had a heart attack.So once again, he gave the Grim Reaper the finger – and now he's gearing up to hike the entire Appalachian Trail! Keith's hype song is “Gonna Fly Now” by Bill Conti.Resources:Keith McNally's website: https://drkeithmcnally.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkeithmcnally/ Invitation from Lori: Let me ask you, if there was a simple way to reclaim your peace of mind and not feel so frazzled, would you want to know what it is?

Welcome back, Born to Watch listeners! In this episode, we dive into the electrifying world of "Rocky III," the third instalment in the legendary Rocky series. Directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, this 1982 classic reinvigorates the saga of the Italian Stallion with new challenges, unforgettable characters, and the iconic anthem "Eye of the Tiger."Overview and Plot Summary"Rocky III" begins with Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) at the pinnacle of his career. He's the reigning heavyweight champion, enjoying a lavish lifestyle with his wife Adrian (Talia Shire) and son. The opening montage, set to Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” captures Rocky's string of successful title defences and newfound celebrity status. However, this success brings complacency, something that his trainer, Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith), warns him about.Enter Clubber Lang (Mr. T), a ferocious and hungry challenger who calls out Rocky's seemingly softening resolve. Clubber's taunts and raw power culminate in a dramatic face-off, where he brutally dethrones Rocky, not only taking his title but also delivering a crushing blow to his spirit.Rocky's journey to redemption is both physical and emotional. With the help of his former rival, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), Rocky must reclaim the "eye of the tiger"—the primal, relentless drive that first made him a champion. Through gruelling training and self-discovery, Rocky prepares for a rematch that's as much about regaining his pride as it is about reclaiming the title.Cinematography and DirectionStallone's direction in "Rocky III" is marked by a notable shift in style from the previous films. The grit and grime of Philadelphia give way to a more polished, almost glossy depiction of Rocky's life at the top. This contrast effectively underscores Rocky's initial loss of hunger and drive. The training montages, a staple of the Rocky series, are particularly memorable here, with the beach running scene between Rocky and Apollo standing out as a moment of pure cinematic energy and emotional resonance.The fight scenes are shot viscerally, pulling the audience into the ring. The cinematography by Bill Butler captures the brutal reality of boxing, with sweat and blood flying in slow motion, emphasizing the physical toll of each punch. The camera work during the final fight keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, perfectly complementing the film's dramatic pacing.Character Development and PerformancesSylvester Stallone delivers a multifaceted performance as Rocky. He adeptly portrays Rocky's transformation from a complacent champion to a humbled underdog seeking redemption. Stallone's ability to convey vulnerability and determination makes Rocky's journey deeply relatable and inspiring.Mr. T's portrayal of Clubber Lang is nothing short of iconic. His raw, unbridled aggression starkly contrasts Rocky's initially softened demeanour. Mr T imbues Clubber with an intensity that makes him one of the most memorable antagonists in the series. His famous line, “I pity the fool,” has become part of the pop culture lexicon.Carl Weathers reprises his role as Apollo Creed, adding a new layer to his character. The transition from Rocky's rival to his mentor is handled with nuance, showcasing Apollo's respect for Rocky and his own desire to reclaim some glory by proxy. Their developing friendship adds depth to the narrative and provides some of the film's most heartfelt moments.Burgess Meredith's Mickey continues to be the grounding force in Rocky's life. His death is a poignant turning point in the film, symbolizing the end of an era and pushing Rocky to rediscover his fighting spirit. Talia Shire's Adrian also plays a crucial role; her unwavering support and powerful pep talk give Rocky the emotional strength he needs.Historical and Cultural Significance"Rocky III" holds a significant place in cinema history. Released during the early 1980s, the film reflects the era's cultural landscape, where themes of perseverance, self-reliance, and redemption resonated strongly with audiences. The film's success helped cement Sylvester Stallone as a major Hollywood player and further established the Rocky franchise as a cultural touchstone.The soundtrack, particularly "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, became an anthem for motivation and resilience. Its association with Rocky's training montages has made it synonymous with overcoming challenges and pushing one's limits. The song's enduring popularity is a testament to the film's impact on pop culture.Pop Culture Impact"Rocky III" is more than just a sports drama; it's a cultural phenomenon. Mr. T's portrayal of Clubber Lang introduced the world to a new kind of larger-than-life character, influencing portrayals of antagonists in sports films and beyond. The film's themes of facing fears, rebounding from failure, and reclaiming one's identity continue to inspire generations of moviegoers.The film also contributed to the rise of franchise filmmaking in Hollywood. Its box office success demonstrated the viability of sequels and helped pave the way for future instalments. The Rocky series has left an indelible mark on world cinema with its underdog story and relatable hero."Rocky III" is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Rocky franchise. With its compelling narrative, memorable performances, and iconic soundtrack, the film captures the essence of what makes the Rocky story so captivating.

On this first episode, join Paul, Javi, and, of course, Producer Brad as they root for the Italian Stallion and his new nemesis, the legendary Clubber Lang, played by the formidable and inimitable 80s icon Mr. T. Can Rocky get back the Eye of the Tiger in time to defend all he has fought for? Come along with us to the multiplex for the answer - because we pity the fool who does not!

Welcome back, fight fans, to another round in the cinematic boxing ring with "Rocky II," a film that not only cements Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa as an American cinematic icon but also offers a deeper look into the life of his rival-turned-friend, Apollo Creed, masterfully portrayed by Carl Weathers. As part of our Carl Weathers tribute tour, let's dive into how "Rocky II" contributes to the legacy of this incredible actor and character, and why this sequel punches just as hard as its predecessor."Rocky II" picks up right where the original left off, with both fighters battered and bruised from their epic confrontation, yet there's a palpable shift. The sequel, released in 1979 and again directed by Stallone, explores themes of fame, family, and the fight beyond the ring. It's a film that balances the gritty realism of 1970s cinema with the burgeoning optimism of the 1980s.At the heart of this film lies the dynamic between Rocky and Apollo. While the original "Rocky" was an underdog story, "Rocky II" is more about redemption and resilience. Apollo Creed, reeling from the public belief he didn't rightfully win, insists on a rematch to prove not just to his fans, but to himself, that he is the best. Carl Weathers brings a complex mixture of vulnerability and bravado to Apollo, making him more than just a foil to Rocky; he's a protagonist in his own right.Carl's performance is nuanced. In the public eye, Apollo is the charismatic and untouchable champion, but Weathers allows us to glimpse the insecurity and pressure beneath the surface. This is most evident in scenes where Apollo sorts through fan mail, his face falling as he reads letters that accuse him of rigging the fight. It's a testament to Weathers' acting prowess that he can switch between these layers of personality so effortlessly, making Apollo Creed a multi-dimensional character who transcends the typical antagonist role.The chemistry between Stallone and Weathers is palpable, transforming "Rocky II" into not just a story about a boxer, but a tale of rivalry and respect that evolves into a genuine friendship. This development is pivotal as it sets the tone for their future interactions in the sequels.From a cinematic standpoint, "Rocky II" enhances what made the original so compelling. The fight choreography is sharper and more intense, reflective of the character's growth and the stakes at hand. Bill Butler's cinematography captures the gritty texture of Philadelphia, making the city itself a character that mirrors Rocky's raw determination and Apollo's polished prowess.The training montage in "Rocky II" is iconic, amplified by Bill Conti's rousing score. As Rocky sprints through the streets of Philly, culminating in his triumphant ascent up the Art Museum steps, we're not just watching a man train for a fight; we're witnessing someone fighting for his life's meaning. Meanwhile, Apollo's training scenes are equally compelling, though characterized by a slick, professional sheen that contrasts sharply with Rocky's raw, almost chaotic regimen.Storytelling in "Rocky II" is where Stallone's writing shines. The screenplay delves deeper into Rocky's struggles, particularly his role as a husband and soon-to-be father. Adrian, played by Talia Shire, becomes a stronger force in this film, her hospital scene with Rocky providing one of the film's emotional climaxes. Her quiet strength complements Rocky's loud determination, and her approval is his linchpin.The climactic fight is a masterclass in building tension and delivering payoff. Every punch thrown by Rocky and Apollo carries weight, not just in physical terms but in what it means for their lives. The final rounds are a rollercoaster of emotions, with audiences feeling each blow as both fighters strive for their victories."Rocky II" concludes on a note that's both victorious and introspective. Rocky's cry of "Yo, Adrian, I did it!" isn't just about winning the fight; it's about overcoming the life challenges that seemed insurmountable. Apollo's journey, too, is about understanding his limits and the cost of pride, setting up further exploration of his character in the sequels.In conclusion, "Rocky II" is more than a worthy sequel. It's a film that explores the consequences of victory and the weight of expectation. Carl Weathers's Apollo Creed is a standout, bringing depth and charisma to a complex character who could have easily been a one-dimensional antagonist. His performance is a critical part of why "Rocky II" resonates so deeply with viewers, making it a fitting highlight for our tribute to his storied career.So, as we reflect on Carl Weathers's contribution to this iconic series, "Rocky II" reminds us of the power of resilience, the importance of legacy, and the enduring appeal of a well-told underdog story.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

What is our cultural obsession with busyness? How many businesspeople do you know who wear their exhaustion as a badge of honor? Kris Ward was raised with values she eventually learned she had to overcome – the values of moving fast, getting a lot of stuff done, and working hard. Hard work equals success.But is any of this true?Kris grew up, got married, and started a business. She was determined to succeed and put in a lot of long, hard hours. Her marriage seemed happy, her business seemed to be growing, and all that hard work seemed to be paying off. Everything seemed fine.But Fine is a 4-Letter Word, as Kris found out about two years into her entrepreneurial journey when her husband said, “You're starting to lose some of your charm.”After hearing this, Kris realized she was fatigued and stretched thin most of the time. She read studies conducted by Harvard professors that showed how working hard makes you less productive - optimal human productivity caps at about six hours per day - but thought she could outrun these studies.

In our latest episode of the Born to Watch Podcast, we delve into the 1976 cinematic masterpiece, "Rocky," marking our first full gathering in nearly two months. This episode is particularly poignant as we embark on our "Rocky" journey, paying homage to the late, great Carl Weathers, whose portrayal of Apollo Creed left an indelible mark on the franchise and the hearts of fans worldwide.Directed by John G. Avildsen and written by Sylvester Stallone, who also stars as the titular character, "Rocky" is not merely a sports film. It is a narrative of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Set against the gritty backdrop of Philadelphia, the film charts the life of Rocky Balboa, an underdog boxer with a chance to defy the odds and prove his worth against the reigning heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed."Rocky" begins by painting a picture of its protagonist as a down-and-out boxer, eking out a living by collecting debts for a loan shark. Stallone's portrayal of Balboa is both vulnerable and endearing, transforming a seemingly ordinary character into an everyman hero. Rocky's mundane existence is upended when Creed, seeking a gimmick for his next fight, selects him as his opponent, offering Balboa a shot at glory previously beyond his wildest dreams.The genius of "Rocky" lies in its ability to balance the brutal reality of boxing with the emotional depth of its characters. Burgess Meredith's performance as Mickey, Rocky's curmudgeonly trainer, adds a layer of grit and wisdom to the narrative. His relationship with Rocky evolves from scepticism to a deep-seated belief in his potential, mirroring the film's overarching theme of redemption and self-discovery.Talia Shire's portrayal of Adrian, Rocky's shy and retiring love interest, brings a tender counterpoint to the film's masculine world. Adrian's transformation from a wallflower to Rocky's pillar of strength encapsulates the film's message of finding courage in the most unexpected places."Rocky" is replete with iconic scenes that have since become ingrained in the cultural lexicon. The image of Rocky, clad in grey sweats, charging up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a symbol of perseverance and determination. Bill Conti's rousing score, featuring the unforgettable "Gonna Fly Now," elevates this scene, transforming it into a cinematic moment of triumph.The climactic fight between Rocky and Apollo Creed is a masterclass in tension and release. Shot with a gritty realism, the match transcends the physical bout to become a metaphor for the fight for self-respect. Carl Weathers' portrayal of Creed is charismatic and formidable, providing the perfect foil to Stallone's Balboa. Their rivalry, marked by mutual respect, underscores the film's nuanced approach to competition and ambition."Rocky" is not without its critics. Some have pointed to its simplistic narrative and idealistic portrayal of the underdog story. However, these criticisms overlook the film's emotional complexity and its reflection on the human spirit. "Rocky" is a testament to the idea that success is not measured by victory alone, but by the courage to stand up and fight for one's dreams.Beyond its narrative, "Rocky" is a technical marvel. The film's innovative use of Steadicam, particularly in the training sequences, lends intimacy and dynamism to Rocky's journey. This technological feat, combined with the raw, unfiltered portrayal of Philadelphia, creates a palpable sense of place and time.The legacy of "Rocky" extends far beyond its initial release. It spawned a successful franchise, elevating Stallone to superstardom and introducing the world to a host of memorable characters. Yet, its cultural impact is perhaps best measured by its enduring appeal. "Rocky" continues to inspire generations with its universal themes of resilience, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.In conclusion, our journey through "Rocky" is a fitting tribute to Carl Weathers and the indomitable spirit of the film itself. "Rocky" stands as a beacon of hope, a reminder that greatness often lies within the reach of those willing to fight for it. As we reflect on this cinematic gem, we are reminded of the power of film to uplift, inspire, and unite. "Rocky" is not just a movie; it is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit.As we wrap up this episode of the Born to Watch Podcast, we look forward to continuing our exploration of the "Rocky" saga, delving deeper into the stories and characters that have captivated audiences for nearly half a century. Join us as we continue to celebrate the legacy of "Rocky" and the unforgettable journey of its beloved characters.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

For our second episode of 2023, we look back, as we did with Neil Diamond's only starring role last week, at the one and only acting role the late, great football star Pelé would ever make: Escape to Victory, a football-themed World War II drama that would also feature Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone and Max von Sydow.   ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   On December 29th, while this show was on hiatus, the football world lost Edson Arantes de Nascimento, the legend known around the world by his single word nickname, Pelé. Even if you weren't a particular fan of football in the 1960s and 1970s, you more than likely knew who Pelé was. The International Olympic Committee named him the Athlete of the Century in 1999. Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most important people of the Twentieth Century. In the Brazilian city of Santos, where a fifteen year old Pelé got his professional start in 1956, a museum dedicated to all things Pelé opened in 2014, with more than 2400 items devoted to his life and careers.   After he retired from football in 1977, in an exhibition game between the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League, where Pelé had been playing for three years, and Santos, his former club of nineteen years, Pelé would become a global ambassador for the sport, and record an album of music alongside fellow Brazilian Sergio Mendes to accompany a documentary about his life.   And because this is a podcast about 80s movies, he would, of course, attempt a career in motion pictures.   And those who were going to be responsible for making Pelé a movie star were not going to take any chances.   Because Pelé was the most famous footballer on the planet, the movie was going to somehow be about football. American film producer Freddie Fields and his partner on the film, future Carolco Films co-owner Mario Kassar, would find their story for Escape to Victory in a Hungarian movie from 1961 called Two Halves in Hell. The film was based on a tale of a 1942 football match between German soldiers and their Ukrainian prisoners of war during World War II, known as the Death Match. That film, directed by Zoltán Fábri, would win several awards at film festivals worldwide, and was ripe for the American remake treatment.   However, there would need to be some changes to the story. The action would be moved from Soviet Russia to France, and the character being built for Pelé, Corporal Luis Fernandez, would be identified as being from Trinidad, as Brazil would not enter the European theatre of war until July of 1944.   While the script was being written, Fields and Kassar would get busy putting the film together.   In July 1979, it was announced that Brian Hutton, who had directed two other World War II-set movies, 1968's Where Eagles Dare and 1970's Kelly's Heroes, would helm this new movie, and that Lloyd Bridges was being considered for a role. A writer for Daily Variety reporting on Hutton's hire speculated that Clint Eastwood, who had starred in both Where Eagles Dare and Kelly's Heroes, would also star in the film, but that never happened.   In mid-September 1979, it was announced that legendary French actor Alain Delon would star in the film, and that Hutton had already left the project. Two weeks later, it was announced that two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker John Huston would direct the project, which would now star Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone. Amongst the locations Huston scouted to shoot the film at included Austria, Canada, England, Germany, and Ireland, but in the end, they would shoot in and around Budapest, Hungary, because they could shoot the film in the then-communist country for around $12m, versus $30m to $35m it would have cost to shoot in a more democratic country.   On a side note, Stallone ended up coming on to the film in a most unusual way. The actor was looking to buy a beach house in Malibu, and one of the houses he looked at was owned by Freddie Fields. After touring the house, Stallone found Fields sitting on the sundeck, and the actor informed the producer that the house was not quite big enough for himself, his wife and two sons. The two men got to talking, and Fields started to tell Stallone about this sports-based World War II movie he was about to make with John Huston as director. Although Stallone knew almost nothing about football, he was intrigued by the idea of getting to work with a director of Huston's stature. And wouldn't you know it, Fields just happened to have a copy of the script right here. Stallone took the script home, and agreed to be in the film three days later.   Not only would Pelé star in the film alongside Caine and Stallone, he would also work with Huston and the crew to design the football action in the film. Nearly two dozen professional football players, including Bobby Moore, the captain of the World Cup-winning 1966 British football team, would either have major roles in the film or play secondary characters in the film. Another member of that team, goalkeeper Gordon Banks, would assist Pelé in getting Stallone to look more like a goalkeeper on camera.   The movie would also hire Desmond Llewelyn, the beloved British character actor best known as Q in 17 James Bond movies made between 1963 and 1999, as a technical advisor, as Llewelyn had spent five years as a POW in German prison camps during World War II.   In early 1980, Max von Sydow, still shooting his role as Ming the Merciless in Mike Hedges' big screen adaptation of Flash Gordon, would be cast as Von Steiner, the Nazi Major who operates the POW camp.   Shooting would begin on May 26, 1980, after Stallone was done shooting Nighthawks in New York City.  Stallone would spend his weekends off that film to work with Gordon Banks on how to better look like a goalie, and to lose no less than forty pounds to better look like a prisoner of war, a sort of method acting Stallone was not really known for. But apparently, Stallone didn't really listen to Banks at first, as on his first day of shooting, the actor would throw himself around his goal area with a kind of reckless abandon, dislocating his shoulder and breaking a rib. The production would need to rearrange the shooting schedule to give Stallone time to heal. After he returned to the set, he would better heed Banks' advice, although he would end up breaking another rib and, in one scene with Pelé, breaking a finger trying to stop one of the superstar footballer's shots.   Other than Stallone's injuries, production on the film ran rather smoothly for nearly two months, until they were forced to shut production down completely on July 29th, eight days after the American Screen Actors Guild went on strike over residuals from emerging revenue streams like videocassettes and pay television. Since several actors like Stallone were SAG members, they had to stop working on the 21st, and the film completed all shots not using those actors a week later. Although the strike would last for slightly more than three months, Fields and Kassar were able to sign an interim agreement with the Guild to allow the film, which only had five days of shooting left when production was shut down, to resume shooting on August 31st.     Huston would spend the rest of 1980 and the first four months of 1981 working with his production team to get the film edited and ready for release. At the suggestion of Sylvester Stallone, Huston would hire Bill Conti to compose the score, the fifth movie starring Stallone that Conti would write the score to in as many years.   In May 1981, two months before the film's release, its American distributor, announced a slight change in the name of the movie. Instead of Escape to Victory, which would be retained by most every other distributor around the world, the film would simply be called Victory when it hit theatres on July 31st. Because the studio was worried that the full title would be a spoiler. And it actually would be. You'll notice I have not really said anything about the story, because if you haven't seen the movie yet, and you feel compelled to check it out because of this episode, I don't want to spoil it for you. And if you have seen the movie before, you already know what happens.   Victory would face very stiff competition when it opened at 692 theatres on July 31st. In addition to the Chevy Chase comedy Under the Rainbow, the film would go up against a re-release of The Empire Strikes Back and also contend with the continued success of Raiders of the Lost Ark and and Superman II.    The film would gross $2.4m in its first weekend, which would place it sixth on the box office charts, but that was slightly more than a third of what the Star Wars sequel would bring in that weekend, after having initially opened in theatres 14 months earlier. Victory would barely beat Arthur, which was in its third week of release but hadn't become the breakout success it would be in the weeks to come, but it lose out to the critically panned disaster known as John Derek's Tarzan the Ape Man in its second week. But hey, naked Bo Derek on the big screen, even more naked than in 10. Can't blame horny guys at the time for that.   In its second week of release, Victory would drop from sixth place to twelfth, with only $1.6m in ticket sales, and lose half of its screens in its third week, falling to thirteenth place with barely $1m taken in at the box office. After that fourth week, the film was no longer being tracked by Paramount, having earned just $10.85m. Internationally, the film would gross another $16m, since football was a more popular sport outside America. In fact, it was the seventh most popular movie released in 1981, outside of America. The film would barely break even once it was gone from theatres, but it would never become much of a cult film once it was released on videotape and to cable channels.   Although audiences didn't quite go for the movie, critics were rather kind to the film.   Vincent Canby of the New York Times would note that while the form of the film was highly conventional, the manner in which it was executed was not. An unnamed critic for the Hollywood trade publication would call the film “old fashioned,” and meant it as a compliment. And Gavin Bainbridge of the UK movie magazine Empire would highlight how John Huston created enough on-field magic and nostalgia for the game, and would note the kind of sportsmanship shown in the film that had sadly become extinct in the succeeding forty years.   In later years, Huston would admit he hated the idea of the movie and only did it for the paycheck, while Caine would tell one reporter while doing press for another movie that the only reason he made Victory was to meet and work with Pelé. Stallone would admit that shooting his scenes as a goalie were more physically and mentally demanding than on either of the Rocky movies that had been made up to that time.   Of course, Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone would see far greater successes in their careers as the 80s continued on, while  Pelé pretty much kept future on-screen appearances more rooted in reality, appearing as himself on a few global television shows and movie documentaries.   We're actually planning on a small series for the final decade of John Huston's directing career, with a diverse set of movies that include the musical Annie, the mob comedy Prizzi's Honor, and the lyrical adaptation of James Joyce's The Dead. Look for that to come later this year.   Thank you for joining us. We'll talk again soon, when Episode 100 is released.   Remember to visit this episode's page on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, for extra materials about Pelé and the movie Victory.   The 80s Movies Podcast has been researched, written, narrated and edited by Edward Havens for Idiosyncratic Entertainment.   Thank you again.   Good night.

A bonafide 1-2 punch! Rocky and Rocky 2 in one episode! Luke & Corrye throw flowers everywhere: at Carl Weathers, Bill Conti's score, the training montages, Mickey, everything Stallone went through to get these films made, and of course, the beloved city of Philadelphia. Luke explains why the final fight in Rocky lacks character, while Corrye points out the on-brand move by Paulie (Burt Young) that you probably never noticed. PLUS: Has Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson worn out his welcome? We've also got multiple Burgess Meredith impressions, as well as an ode to the longtime voice of animated Batman, Kevin Conroy.

Zo, with special guest host Morgan Cobbs of the Cobbs Corner Podcast, venture to the mid 1970s to the American Bicentennial to witness one of the strangest boxing matches of all time. The Boxing Heavyweight Champion of the World Apollo Creed grants a title shot to an unknown, unranked and untested local boxer as a chance to grant that man the opportunity of a lifetime in the Land of Opportunity.  Win or lose the lucky challenger's life will change forever. With the weight of Philadelphia on his shoulders this boxer engages in training for the fight of his life. This boxer is known to his fans as The Italian Stallion, but to his friends he is known simply as . . . Rocky. Episode Timestamps Opening Credits . . . . . . 00:22:35Favorite Parts . . . . . . . . 00:35:34Trivia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  01:04:02Critics' Thoughts . . . . . 01:42:35 Morgan Cobbs and  Cobbs CornerPodcast: https://link.chtbl.com/CGB1aTiIInstagram: (Podcast): @cobbs_corner_podcast:  https://www.instagram.com/cobbs_corner_podcast/  Instagram:(Personal):  @future_mechanical_engineer:  https://www.instagram.com/future_mechanical_engineer/?hl=enTik Tok: @cobbscornerpodcast:https://www.tiktok.com/@cobbscornerpodcast  email: cobbscornerpodcast@gmail.comSubmit a voice message:  https://anchor.fm/cobbscornerpodcast/message Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comTwitter: @BackLookCinema https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: @BackLookCinemaPodcast https://www.facebook.com/backlookcinemapodcastInstagram: @backlookcinemapodcast https://instagram.com/backlookcinemapodcastTicTok: @backlookcinema https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.com (https://back-look-cinema-merch.creator-spring.com/)Back Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com (https://www.teepublic.com/user/back-look-cinema-podcast-merch?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=G1VQNMthhSg) Made-For-TV Movie Podcasthttps://pod.link/1547103380#mftvmcpodcast on Google

Una parte importante de las series de televisión son sus sintonías. Sirven de presentación y nos dan información y contexto pero en muchas ocasiones se convierten en iconos de la cultura pop. Repasamos su evolución desde los inicios de la TV. Series cuyas intros son tan populares como los propios shows: Embrujada, Bonanza o Misión Imposible. Pioneras de la electrónica como Delia Derbyshire nos trajo el tema de Dr. Who. Dúos como Mike Post y Peter Carpenter parieron las sintonías de El equipo A o Canción triste de Hill Street. Stu Phillips nos trajo la canción de El coche fantástico. Grandes de la bandas sonoras de cine como Bill Conti, Henry Mancini o Danny Elfman crearon los temas de Falcon Crest, Hotel o Cuentos de la Cripta Las canciones pop se empezaron a hacer muy populares a partir de los 90 con las sintonías de Friends, Malcom o The wire. En los culebrones los propios actores nos cantaban que Los ricos también lloran. En España compositores como Waldo de los Ríos, Antón García Abril o Emilio Aragón crearon música y sintonías para Curro Jiménez o Médico de familia. En los últimos años series-evento como The Mandalorian o Juego de Tronos han tenido intros muy aplaudidas. Perdidos o Expediente X fueron sus inmediatos antecesores.

Star Trek had Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Bewitched had Dr. Gordon Bombay. Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman had ... well ... Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. And, for this week's show, The Overlap Podcast has our own on-call medical maven who is always in the know - Dr. Amy S. Armstrong, co-owner of LaBellaRX in Daphne and the Medical Director for The Overlap Podcast (disclaimer: official office of Medical Director for The Overlap Podcast may not actually be an official position and would not entitle any potential officeholder thereof to any potential compensation said office may be entitled to, unless said potential officeholder accepts expired coupons to that Church's Chicken down the road that had closed down about three years ago). Dr. Amy returns for her second spin with our boys Sid and Keith to sit down and share about a plethora of points regarding fitness and health goals. And since Dr. Amy is board certified in Internal Medicine and former chief medical resident ... well, let's just say she certainly has earned her status as a content area expert, whereas our boys ... they know when to get out of the way and let the good doctor tell some important truths. Right out the gate, Dr. Amy and the Overlap Gang start lobbing truth bombs in an area people traditionally shy away from talking about: obesity and its role in chronic health issues. And obesity, much like an M. Night Shyamalan movie, will find some twist or turn to surprise you - like y'all skinny fat folks out there who look skinny but have a high body fat percentage. (Not trying to call anyone out; the person who writes these is regional undersecretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Fat People, so game recognize game.) And our own obesity issues often spill over into other folk's health as well - like Dr. Amy says in this episode ... ... ... did you really expect us to tell you? You know #TeamNoSpoilers is going to make you listen in to learn. (Muffled argument sounds in background, sounds of bottles being hurled and broken, table being flipped) Apparently, #TeamNoSpoilers has a bye week this week, since we're apparently giving y'all the first tip from this week's episode: identify your biggest obstacle to what is preventing you from having good health. Without knowing what's causing the problem, how can you be expected to figure out the best way to beat it? It takes time, introspection and self-evaluation to get to the heart of the matter and actually have the stomach to do what you need to do. And Dr. Amy goes into the battle that will face a lot of us as we try to make these positive changes, especially the very real struggle between Your Body and Artificial Sweeteners. The match of your life awaits you, so lace up your gloves, run up and down those art museum stairs in Philly a few times to "Gonna Fly Now," and have Burgess Meredith there to scowl at you from the corner and tell you you're a bum ... that bell is about to clang and those bad health habits don't play by the rules of the game. This week's Overlap is absolutely essential for your everyday life, so turn it on, tune in and listen up. (And just as an aside, can we all agree that the training montage in Rocky I would be better with "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky III instead of "Gonna Fly Now"? I mean, I know Bill Conti wrote "Gonna Fly" specifically to be the theme and whatnot for the first film and that it gets used in various fashions between all the other films - even the Creed ones - but ... eh ... just doesn't slap as hard as Survivor's greatest hit.)

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of vegetative states, ambulance chasing, right-to-die laws, sexual harassment, lying, manipulation. Our final film of this series takes us into the courtroom in a way few films rarely do. The courtroom drama can be wild, fantastic, and even a bit haughty. But this movie dares to go into the grit and grime of medical malpractice and expose the cost of justice. There's no frills on this movie, no wasted moments, and while the story's missing a little bit of context, it's a masterclass in courtroom storytelling. And then there's the cast, with a murderer's row of performances from some of the best in the business, giving nuanced, crafted performances that take a very good story and make it incredibly grounded and real. We discuss The Verdict this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven't Seen What?! You can email us with feedback at macintoshandmaud@gmail.com, or you can connect with us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Film composer Vince DiCola had never scored an entire movie before in the mid-80s. But once actor/director Sylvester Stallone heard a few of his demo tracks for Rocky IV, he decided to hire DiCola for the gig. That film ended up being one of the most financially successful movies of the Rocky franchise. In fact, earlier this summer, Stallone announced a re-release of the film with a "Director's Cut," to hit theaters in November. Join host Eddie Robinson as he chats candidly with the mastermind behind the music of Rocky IV, Vince DiCola. Plus, I SEE U could not produce a Rocky feature without exploring the signature Rocky hymnal, "Eye of The Tiger," and Eddie catches up with the song's writer/producer, Grammy-award winning Frankie Sullivan of the vintage rock band, Survivor.
