Sadece 25 bin dolarlık bir müzik bütçesi, üç saatlik bir kayıt oturumu ve başlangıçta yalnızca antrenman sahnesi için düşünülen kısa bir beste... Bill Conti'nin kendisine sadece 15 bin dolar kaldığında "Kendimi zengin hissetmiştim." dediği bu proje nasıl oldu da aylar sonra Billboard'da 1 numaraya yükselerek sinema tarihinin en ikonik tema müziklerinden birine dönüştü?

Rocky IV was very much the most 80's Rocky of the entire franchise. It was big, noisy and cheesy in all the right ways. It was also the only Rocky film not to be scored by Bill Conti. This week, we look at the pinnacle of Rocky soundtracks and what songs still hold up today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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. They didn't apply to her because SHE was different. Eventually, and you'll hear how, she was able to dramatically reduce her workday from sixteen hours to six, and discovered she was more productive, more fulfilled, and more successful than ever before.In fact, when her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer, she stepped away from her business for almost two years, and nobody – not her clients, not her local business community – even noticed she'd dropped out for a while!Her business was going so well that during her husband's final months, people would ask how she was holding up and she's say “I'm fine” – that 4-letter word – and for Kris, this was a subtle downgrade to what she usually said.Today, as creator of Win The Hour, Win The Day, she works with entrepreneurs who think everything's going to be “fine” if they just work harder at the hustle and grind. She emphasizes the importance of energy management over mere time management, advocating for strategic delegation and prioritization that supports both personal well-being and professional success.What's her secret?You're about to find out, so get your pad and pen ready.Kris' hype song is the “Rocky” theme song – “Gonna Fly Now” by Bill Conti.Resources:Kris Ward's website: https://winthehourwintheday.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kriswardgetoutofyourownway/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/krisward.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kriswardlive/ X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/krisward Take the Power Personality Quiz, get Kris Ward's courses, and download her audiobook “Win The Hour, Win The Day” at https://www.freegiftfromkris.com.

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
