We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. What better way to kick things off than where it all began? Here's a look back at episode one and our conversation with Jim Peterik. ABOUT JIM PETERIKSinger, songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist Jim Peterik is best known as a founding member of the band Survivor and the co-writer of their Grammy-winning double platinum #1 hit single, “Eye of the Tiger.” But that's only the tip of the iceberg. Thirty-five of Jim's songs have appeared on the Billboard Pop chart, including seven Top 10 singles. His first major success came when his original band, Ides of March, took the Peterik-penned “Vehicle” to the #2 position on the Pop chart in 1970, spawning cover versions by Chet Baker and Shirley Bassey. After a stint as a solo artist with Epic Records, Jim formed Survivor in 1979, penning a string of hits for the band, including “I Can't Hold Back,” “High On You,” “The Search is Over,” “Burning Heart,” and “Is This Love.” While still writing hits for his own group, Jim forged a successful partnership with the members of 38 Special, co-writing classic songs, including “Rockin' Into the Night,” “Hold On Loosely,” and “Caught Up In You.” Widely respected as a top-notch collaborator, Jim has co-written successful songs with a number of artists, including the Beach Boys, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sammy Hagar, Cheap Trick, the Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon, and Mindi Abair. The long list of those who have covered his compositions includes Paul Anka, Gloria Gaynor, Tony Orlando, Reba McEntire, Larry Gatlin, Blackhawk, and The Outlaws. He is the co-author, with Dave Austin, of Songwriting for Dummies.

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. It's a tale of resilience, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.For fans of the series and newcomers alike, "Rocky III" offers a powerful reminder of why Rocky Balboa remains one of cinema's most beloved characters.
