This week on Born to Watch, Whitey flies solo for a massive deep dive into 1982: Year in Review, revisiting one of the most important, influential and completely stacked years in cinema history. While 1982 might not officially hold the crown as the greatest movie year ever, it delivered a collection of films that completely changed Hollywood forever.In this special episode, Whitey breaks down how one single year gave us E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Blade Runner, The Thing, First Blood, Rocky III, Poltergeist, Conan the Barbarian and Tron all within the same incredible stretch of cinema history.Whitey explores the insane eight-week period where science fiction and fantasy films absolutely rewired Hollywood forever. It was the year when genre filmmaking exploded, CGI truly began, practical effects reached their peak, and audiences somehow ignored two movies that are now regarded as masterpieces: Blade Runner and The Thing.There's a huge breakdown of the 1982 box office top ten, including Whitey revisiting Spielberg's emotional masterpiece E.T., which held the box office record for an entire decade. He reflects on how modern kids' movies rarely hit adults emotionally the same way they once did, admitting E.T. absolutely destroyed him on the cry meter during a recent rewatch.The episode also revisits cult favourites like First Blood, with Whitey passionately defending it as one of the great character-driven action films of the 1980s. There's love for Stallone's unbelievable double act of releasing both Rocky III and First Blood in the same year, proving just how dominant Sly was during the early 80s.Whitey also dives into why Rocky III remains one of the best Rocky films ever made, praising Mr T as one of the greatest movie villains of the decade and celebrating the pure charisma he brought to Clubber Lang despite having no acting experience.Australian cinema gets its flowers too, with a huge spotlight on Mad Max 2 and The Man from Snowy River. Whitey argues that both films stand proudly alongside any Hollywood blockbuster of the era and explains how Mad Max 2 became the blueprint for almost every post-apocalyptic movie that followed.There's also a deep appreciation for practical effects and filmmaking craftsmanship throughout the episode. Whitey passionately argues that The Thing still contains the greatest practical creature effects ever put to screen, while Blade Runner's vision of a futuristic Los Angeles remains one of the most influential science fiction worlds ever created.Along the way, there are classic Born to Watch tangents and stories, including:Whitey is getting in trouble in Year 4 after explaining an infamous scene from The World According to GarpChildhood memories of The Pirate Movie soundtrackThe bizarre success of Porky'sWhy does Tootsie make more money than Blade Runner feel completely wrongHow Grease 2 became one of the ugliest moments of 1982 cinemaWhitey also celebrates underrated classics like Firefox, Creepshow, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and 48 Hrs., while exploring how 1982 represented a time when studios were still willing to take massive creative risks on strange, ambitious and original films.This is one of the biggest movie deep dives Born to Watch has ever done, packed full of nostalgia, movie trivia, hilarious stories and genuine love for cinema.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Was 1982 the greatest movie year ever? What's the best film released in 1982? Blade Runner or The Thing? Rocky III or First Blood? Is Mad Max 2 the greatest Australian action film ever made?#1982Movies #MovieYearInReview #BornToWatch #BladeRunner #TheThing #RockyIII #FirstBlood #MadMax2 #ET #MoviePodcast

Cathy and Todd discuss Rocky 3, the 1982 sequel where Stallone ditched everything that made the first two movies feel real and ended up with the biggest hit of the franchise anyway. They talk about where Mr. T came from, how Hulk Hogan got hired, and how Stallone dropped 40 pounds so fast it caused memory loss. They get into how “Eye of the Tiger” only exists because Queen said no, the statue that Philadelphia didn’t want, and an ending that freezes mid-fight. Also Paulie, because there’s always something to say about Paulie.

We round off our look at Rocky III by going through theremaining scenes of the film. Without issuing too many spoilers, Rocky comes a cropper and his life goes seriously south, motivation all but gone. However, just as Clarence the Angel came to rescue George Bailey in our very first filmreview on this show, Rocky's old rival Apollo Creed swoops in with a two-word plan that could be said to be slightly Beatle-esque (a little something for Glass Onion fans there). Mr T continues to shine as the menacing Clubber Lang, but thesecond half of the film certainly belongs to the burgeoning bromance between Rocky and Apollo. Adrian also plays her part with a stirring speech on the beach, and Burt Young's Paulie emerges as wonderful comic relief. Will Rocky ultimately prevail? Well, probably… At some point in the conversation, Antony and Scott also takea tangential look at the movies of 1982 in general. We were truly spoiled in the days when films as incredible as ‘The Thing' and ‘Blade Runner' could drop on the same day! Enjoy! 'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.

Here's part one of another swapcast with ‘The Stinking Pause',hosted by Scott Phipps. This time round, Antony and Scott tackle the middle film of the original 5-film Rocky franchise (‘Rocky Balboa' aka Rocky VI would eventuallyarrive after a long hiatus), a subject dear to both their hearts.After the gritty 1970s fairytale that was the original film,followed by Rocky's redemptive rematch with Apollo Creed in Rocky II, the series enters a new decade and a new era. The man gatecrashing the Rocky and Apollo party is the unforgettable Clubber Lang, played by the utterly unique Mr T in the role that would soon after land him in ‘The A-Team' and make him a household name.In this part, your humble hosts talk about their historieswith the series as a whole and discuss the other films in the franchise. They then start ploughing through Rocky III, including Rocky's ‘friendly' charity match with Hulk Hogan's ‘Thunderlips' and the lead-up to his defence of his titleagainst Clubber. Rocky Balboa is apparently now a ‘civilised' champion. Oh dear… Enjoy! 'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.

Episode 1180 – FAFO Friday: Manosphere, Crazy Exes, and 80s Movie Nostalgia** Clay Edwards kicks off a laid-back FAFO Friday with unfiltered takes on modern culture, relationships, and pure entertainment. He dives into the Netflix documentary on the "manosphere," weighing its mix of grift, high-testosterone energy, and traditional-leaning messaging against the alternative of mainstream progressive content aimed at younger audiences. Clay argues that — flaws and all — the manosphere's focus on avoiding simping, building confidence, and embracing masculinity fills a real void left by absent fathers, especially for teenage boys navigating a world saturated with conflicting agendas. The show takes a wild turn with a bizarre Mississippi crime story: a Batesville woman indicted for arson after allegedly trying to burn down her ex-boyfriend's house — and previously planting a homemade bomb on his vehicle. Clay breaks down the details with his signature humor, speculating on what kind of chaos drives that level of obsession. The rest of the episode is pure weekend vibes: a freewheeling rundown of the best 80s movies that got sequels (Rocky III, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Porky's, Eddie and the Cruisers, and many more), iconic one-liners that still live rent-free in everyone's head, and a group chat with callers and texters sharing their favorites. Clay reflects on why so many 80s classics feel timeless and why today's blockbusters rarely produce the same quotable magic. Expect sharp commentary, plenty of laughs, nostalgia overload, and Clay's no-holds-barred style as he closes out the week and sends listeners into the weekend in a good mood. Perfect for anyone who enjoys reality-check rants, real-talk relationship takes, true-crime absurdity, and a heavy dose of 80s throwback energy.
Dans One Hit Wonder, Margaux Lassalle revient cette semaine sur le parcours de Survivor, groupe de hard rock formé à Chicago en 1977 par Frankie Sullivan et Jim Peterik. D'abord repérés sur la scène rock locale, ils publient en 1979 un premier album éponyme porté par le titre "Somewhere in America". Le groupe commence à se faire remarquer avec "Premonition" et son single "Poor Man's Son", mais la consécration arrive en 1982 avec "Eye of the Tiger". Écrit pour la bande originale du film "Rocky III" avec Sylvester Stallone, le morceau devient un hymne mondial, symbole de combativité et de dépassement de soi. L'album du même nom contient également le titre "American Heartbeat". Le groupe retrouve ensuite l'univers de la saga Rocky en 1985 avec "Burning Heart" pour "Rocky IV", puis poursuit sa carrière avec "When Seconds Count", dont est extrait "Is This Love", qui atteint le Top 10 américain. Malgré une discographie fournie et plusieurs succès, Survivor reste largement associé à "Eye of the Tiger", classique incontournable de l'arena rock des années 80. Le groupe a continué à se réunir ponctuellement pour des tournées avant de cesser progressivement ses activités dans les années 2010, laissant derrière lui l'un des hymnes les plus emblématiques du rock populaire.

You want a Christmas movie? Look no further than Rocky IV, surely the raging highlight of the Rocky saga. Written and directed by Sylvester Stallone, and with montages coming out of its armpits, the movie was not without a few challenges (and injuries.) Not least: how do you follow up the relentlessness of Mr T's Clubber Lang from Rocky III? The answer arrived in the sizeable shape of Dolph Lundgren, a one-time guest on this very show. But then, decades later, Sylvester Stallone decided that he had problems with Rocky IV. And a very different cut was born... The stories are told in this very episode....

Send us a textReady for a heavyweight bout over the legacy of Sylvester Stallone? We gathered a lively panel to rank Sly's greatest franchises, argue his place among action icons, and unpack the line that still makes crowds cheer. From Rocky's underdog magic to Rambo's ferocious lone-wolf mythology and The Expendables' star-studded mayhem, we break down why the order Rocky > Rambo > Expendables just works—and where we disagree.We go deep on best vs favorite films: Rocky and Rocky II for emotional punch and performance, Copland for quiet, serious craft, and cult favorites like Demolition Man and Judge Dredd for pure joy. The conversation heats up when we stack Stallone against Schwarzenegger, Statham, Van Damme, Norris, and Bruce Willis. Is he the definitive action GOAT or the timeless bridge between eras? We also spotlight Tulsa King, where Sly's big-screen presence translates into a sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt crime series that proves his range and endurance.Then we tackle the extremes: the reported 2.8% body fat for Rocky III, the risks behind the look, and how far is too far for physical transformations. We talk plastic surgery, aging on-screen, and why audiences connect with Stallone's blend of toughness and vulnerability. And yes, we honor the immortal line—“Yo Adrian, we did it”—as a cultural touchstone that captures shared victory and the soul of the Rocky saga.If you love action cinema, iconic quotes, and spirited debate, hit play and weigh in.

This week on Totally 80's and 90's Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt are diving headfirst into the golden era of inspirational sports movies — the 1980s. From the underdog triumphs of Hoosiers and the blue-collar grit of Major League to the heartfelt magic of Field of Dreams, we're revisiting the decade that turned locker room speeches and training montages into cinematic legend. And of course, no 80s sports discussion would be complete without Rocky III and IV, where Sylvester Stallone took the franchise to larger-than-life heights, or The Karate Kid, which made “wax on, wax off” part of pop culture history. Joining us for this all-star episode is Jim from the Children of the 80s podcast, as we pit 16 of the greatest 80s sports movies against each other in a high-stakes, bracket-style showdown. Which classic will go the distance and be crowned the ultimate 80s sports movie? Will it be a feel-good drama, a hard-hitting boxing tale, or a coming-of-age martial arts favorite? Lace up your sneakers, grab your headband, and get ready for some friendly debate and plenty of 80s nostalgia as we play our way down to the final two!

Sal and BT dissected the overwhelming negativity surrounding New York sports, focusing on the winless Giants and Jets, while Sal wrestled with whether to attend the Giants' Sunday Night game. The conversation shifted to the Mets' perilous final three games, with Sal doubting their pitching depth and BT defending rookie ace McLain. The discussion took a lighter turn when Sal and BT mocked David Cone for confusing Rocky III and Rocky IV during a recent broadcast, a cinematic blunder Sal deemed unforgivable. Amidst the sports talk, Sal also revealed his anxiety over potential health issues after reading a sobering article, showing that the misery of the New York teams is only one part of the show's dynamic content.
This segment is a high-energy dive into the Jaxson Dart debut for the Giants, with Sal and BT debating whether the team's abysmal foundation—poor offensive line, lame-duck coach Brian Daboll, and constant negativity—is setting the rookie up for failure, mirroring the struggles of past quarterbacks. They ridicule Giants fans for flying "clean house" banners over MetLife, arguing it's the wrong time for negativity. On the baseball side, they analyze the Mets' slim playoff hopes against the Marlins, with Sal remaining skeptical due to the lack of pitching, while BT is more optimistic. The Yankees, conversely, are lauded for their strong play, with BT and Costas agreeing they have a "championship look" and are poised to win the AL East. The segment wraps with a lighthearted but fiery call-out of David Cone for confusing Rocky III and Rocky IV and Nick Costos providing his best NFL Week 4 bets and a Perfect Parlay rundown.
B-T and Sal's segment ricocheted between Sal's sudden anxiety over colon cancer after reading about Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek, and a furious debate over baseball's rules. Sal's co-host pressed him to schedule the colonoscopy, even jokingly suggesting it would interrupt the show. The conversation then abruptly pivoted to David Cone confusing Rocky III and Rocky IV—a gaffe B-T saw as an unforgivable baseball broadcast sin—before a caller reminded them of a controversial World Series catch rule from the previous year, highlighting the inconsistent knowledge and accountability across both health and sports analysis.

What do you get when you mix the manic comic genius of Michael Keaton, the inimitable dramatic and comedic chops of the great Teri Garr, the legendary deadpan wit of Martin Mull, the wacky unpredictability of Christopher Lloyd, and the ever-reliable smarm of Jeffrey Tambor? Franlky, we wish you got more than Mr. Mom, a movie regarded by many as a modern classic but which left the already very domesticated Paul, Javi, and the always paternal Producer Brad scratching their heads wondering if men in the 80s were simply too brain damaged to drive a grocery store cart. There's a few bright spots, of course, the not-so-hidden connection to Rocky III, the cute kids, and, of course, woobies. But is it enough? Honestly, we decided to watch this instead of Deathstalker because we thought we owed it to you - our listeners - to get out of the sword and sorcery space and talk about a mainstream movie… and in this episode, you get to hear your three hosts realize the depth of their error with hilarious consequences!

Since the Italian Stallion first appeared on screen in 1976, Rocky Balboa's cinematic story has become a staple of pop culture, not just in America but around the world. The tropes from the film have been emulated and parodied many times over the years in other movies, TV shows, and media. It's well known for its theme music, training montage, and the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.Like all great sports movies, Rocky isn't really about the sport itself but about life. It's about people and how they relate to each other.After a successful sequel in 1979, it was no surprise that Stallone would once again wear his boxing shorts and gloves for this 80s sequel. However, this time, there are new challenges and opponents, both physical and emotional.So, step into the boxing ring, turn up Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” and get ready for a knockout episode as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Chris Adams and JB Huffman discuss “Rocky III” from 1982 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:According to an interview with Mr. T, he attended the movie's premiere with his mother. During the scene where he yells lurid remarks at Adrian, his mother turned to him and said, "I did not raise you to talk to a lady like that." She then stormed out of the theater.To reclaim the title, Rocky pulls off a trick known as a rope-a-dope. This involves making the opponent believe he has the fight, teasing him to make the adrenaline pump and wearing him out so that you can easily go in and knock him down. The trick was used by Muhammad Ali against George Foreman in the famous Rumble in the Jungle fight.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojohttps://www.reelworldtheology.com/rocky-revisited-showing-some-love-for-the-sequels/https://totalrocky.com/articles/r3/rocky-3-trivia/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Is Hulk Hogan's cameo as Thunderlips a masterstroke or OTT nonsense? What of Mr T? Does he belong in the same category as Creed and Drago or is he more Tommy Gunn?

Send us a textWelcome back to DMRWrestling icon Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea in 1953, skyrocketed to global fame in the 1980s as the face of WWF's golden era. From his legendary showdown with André the Giant at WrestleMania III to starring in Rocky III and headlining Hogan Knows Best, Hogan blended sports entertainment with pop culture like no one else. His larger-than-life persona, catchphrases like “Whatcha gonna do, brother?” and his role in launching the nWo in WCW cemented him as a true disruptor in the wrestling industry. Hogan also broke the mold as a crossover celebrity, starring in films like No Holds Barred and Suburban Commando, all while battling in-ring legends like Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, and The Rock. His second WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2020 as part of the nWo was a full-circle moment, marking a legacy that defined the modern wrestling narrative.But behind the spotlight was a man facing mounting personal and health challenges. A highly publicized scandal in 2015 led to his WWE exit and the loss of key endorsements, though he later returned amid controversy. In his final years, Hogan underwent over 25 surgeries, battled blood cancer, and dealt with strained family ties—all while trying to launch a new wrestling league, Real American Freestyle. Tragically, on July 24, 2025, he passed away at age 71 following a cardiac arrest, with atrial fibrillation and leukemia contributing to his death. Yet even in his final moments, Hogan stayed focused on his next big idea. Tributes poured in across the world, and Florida officially declared August 1st Hulk Hogan Day. Love him or hate him, Hulk Hogan was a content machine, a branding genius, and a viral force who redefined what it meant to be a wrestling superstar in the age of spectacle.Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

Marc and Kim run through a rapid-fire “In Other News” segment packed with headlines and hot takes. First up: confusion around Hulk Hogan's “death” is cleared up—he's not dead. (It was likely a mistake, as Hogan is still alive.) Still, the crew discusses what would've been his cause of death if true: a heart attack complicated by AFib and leukemia, with a nod to his iconic moment in Rocky III (not II) against Stallone. Next, the group reacts to jaw-dropping footage from Saudi Arabia, where an amusement park ride snapped in half, injuring 23 but miraculously killing no one. Marc blasts lax safety and carnival rides, vowing to keep his kids off them forever. Then it's back to sports as WNBA viewership jumps 21%, even with Caitlin Clark sidelined. Marc isn't buying the media's spin that it's “not all about Caitlin.” He says flat out: She's the reason people tuned in. Kim compares it to a binge-worthy show—you come for Caitlin, but stay to see what wild thing Angel Reese says next. Elsewhere, Justin Timberlake reveals he's battling Lyme disease, explaining his lackluster stage performances and growing fan frustration. Kim sympathizes but says the videos make it look like he's just mailing it in. The segment wraps with a jab at how AI is taking over health management, with 35% of Americans now using it to track meals, fitness, and wellness—Marc and Kim warn, don't turn your brain off just because a bot tells you to run into a wall.
We can get one thing out of the way right up top: James DeMonaco is from Staten Island. Seeing Rocky Balboa on the big screen as a kid was mind-blowing; seeing Sylvester Stallone take a story of such a familiar kind of guy and make it into an Oscar-winning mega-franchise for the ages was life-altering. While DeMonaco is best known for his stealthily political horror films, his love of Rocky even made it into a coming-of-age project called THIS IS THE NIGHT, set around the release of ROCKY III. He and Jordan get into the importance of seeing a familiar milieu on screen, and get into the motivation behind DeMonaco's current film, THE HOME, a psychological horror movie starring Pete Davidson, set at an eldercare facility.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Netflix series HUNTING WIVES.

RUNDOWN Episode 344 of Mitch Unfiltered opens with a humorous lament over the nonexistence of a 344 area code and quickly shifts into cultural reflection—from Morgan Wallen's massive Seattle shows to a heartfelt tribute to late jazz musician Chuck Mangione. Mitch and Hotshot Scott marvel at Ichiro Suzuki's eloquent, humorous, and emotional Hall of Fame speech, calling it mesmerizing and long overdue. Mitch and Hotshot dig into the Mariners' playoff hopes and trade deadline calculus. They debate the potential impact of acquiring Gino Suarez—Seattle fan favorite and current Diamondbacks slugger—and analyze Josh Naylor's recent addition to the lineup. Investment advisor and father of four, John Wasnock of North Bend, WA, stunned the poker world by finishing second in the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event, earning a $6 million prize. A lifelong poker hobbyist and devoted Mariners fan, Wasnock's dream run began as a bucket-list entry and ended in financial freedom — allowing him and his wife to retire and focus on family. Despite losing a pivotal hand on the river, Wasnock played with composure and integrity, becoming a beloved underdog in the process. Brady Farkas joins Mitch Unfiltered to reflect on Ichiro Suzuki's powerful, funny, and fully English Hall of Fame speech in Cooperstown—calling it the best he's heard. Despite the celebratory weekend, the Mariners' on-field play disappointed, as they went 3–4 and squandered chances to gain ground in the playoff race. Trade deadline buzz surrounds players like Luke Raley and Geno Suarez, while Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh give fans reasons to stay hopeful. Mitch and Jason Puckett (aka "Puck") dive into Chapter 10 of KJAren'ts, with plenty of laughs and commentary. Mitch shares how cohost Hotshot Scott somehow always has the perfect contact—including a North Bend native who just won $6 million as runner-up at the World Series of Poker. They also unpack the Seahawks' surprise release of Noah Fant and speculate on Seattle's thin wide receiver room heading into the season.

The latest episode of the First Black Champ Podcast delves into the multifaceted legacy of Hulk Hogan, tracing his rise from wrestling icon to polarizing figure. Born Terry Gene Bollea in 1953, Hogan's career began under various personas before exploding in the WWF during the "Hulkamania" era. His patriotic persona and WrestleMania appearances made him a 12-time world champion and a household name. Hogan also ventured into Hollywood with roles in Rocky III and other films, as well as hosting a cartoon series. His WCW tenure saw him turn heel as "Hollywood" Hogan, co-founding the influential nWo faction. Despite accolades like two WWE Hall of Fame inductions, Hogan's legacy is clouded by personal scandals, including a lawsuit over a leaked sex tape and racist remarks that temporarily severed ties with WWE. In later years, he embraced sobriety, faith, and business ventures, while becoming politically vocal. Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025, at age 71, leaving a legacy that transformed pro wrestling into a global phenomenon, albeit with controversy. The episode also previews the stacked SummerSlam card, featuring marquee matches like Gunther vs. CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship, John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and a massive 6-team TLC match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Other highlights include Becky Lynch defending the Women's Intercontinental Championship in a No DQ match and Naomi facing Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY in a triple-threat bout. In the "Do We Care" segment, the hosts discuss Goldberg's frustrations over his retirement match, rumors of a potential AEW run, and Travis Scott reportedly stepping away from WWE. They also question whether Damien Priest has lost momentum compared to Drew McIntyre and react to AJ Styles' return to TNA. This episode is packed with wrestling insights, nostalgia, and hot takes!

Brett kicks off the program by addressing the troubling state of the Sun Fresh grocery store at 31st and Prospect, where shelves and coolers sit nearly empty, raising concerns about food access in the community. He points out that the store is operated by a nonprofit and located in a city-owned shopping center, questioning the effectiveness of the arrangement. The discussion then pivots to national politics, as Brett criticizes ongoing dysfunction in Washington, D.C., and revisits the Tea Party era — contrasting its grassroots activism with what he sees as a current lack of political courage and leadership.
