Movie Meltdown - Episode 369 This week we are joined by our special guest co-host comedian Justin Golak, as we discuss one of his favorite movies - Rocky. We look at not just the movie itself, but also it's impact on pop culture - and just how much we actually remember based on how much Rocky has seeped into the public consciousness. Plus we also look at how this first installment fits into the long-running series that will continue over the next 40 years. And as we discuss Stallone-adjacent characters, we also mention... comedy or baseball, cable the way it used to be, arm wrestling is the thing, reading comprehension, Ghostbusters 2, organized crime, garblyness, it's very different going back and rewatching it now... having not seen it in years, how do you fight you, creating a rig for the scene, the sub-genre of boxing movies, Survivor, escaping Cleveland, music video culture, Cobra, drinking raw eggs, on VHS taped from TV, I want to be better, Thunderlips, being weird and awkward, Over the Top, three pages of dialogue in ten seconds of body language, spattered with training, running with your girlfriend up the stairs, at every turn... he makes a different choice, Copland, going heel, it's essentially an origin story... but you didn't know that if you didn't know there's be sequels, novelizations, outsourcing the property, Apollo Creed, being literal, Irwin Winkler, forceps, Ruskies, office sign dialogue, Batman Begins, this is like a thing everyone will do forever now, losing the right way, getting your hands bloody, that's a real person and all art is drug-fueled from the beginning of time. Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for Rocky... and the entire franchise. You have been warned. "I'm a huge fan... it's the only thing I geek out about... it's like my Star Wars."

Comedian Dustin Meadows hosts a weekly show wherein he watches his favorite movies with other comedians who've never seen the film before. Dustin and co-host Justin Golak take Dan King through the most masculine film ever made and discuss the lack of ensemble based sci-fi action movies today, just what exactly a "sexual tyrannosaurus" might be and the lingering close-up on a pair of biceps. *Artwork by Brandon Schneider
Comedian Dustin Meadows hosts a weekly show wherein he watches his favorite movies with other comedians who've never seen the film before. Dustin and Justin Golak talk about one of Bill Paxton's greatest roles and the commendable sleazebaggery of Mad About You's Paul Reiser before being diverted into getting pretty academic on the current state of action films. *Artwork by Brandon Schneider
