Today on The Gist, Mike considers the difference between an election and election night. One is a careful accounting of the public will. The other is the made-for-TV version that gives conspiracy theorists something to yell about when mail ballots shift the totals. Then, Benoit Denizet-Lewis joins to discuss You've Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation. The book asks a deceptively simple question: can people really change? Denizet-Lewis says yes, no, and it depends who's watching. He and Mike discuss identity lifers, political apostates, parole hearings, addiction recovery, name changes, gender identity, and the people who say they didn't change at all; everyone else did. Plus, the final scene of Rocky IV, because apparently even the Politburo believed in personal growth.   Produced by Corey Wara Edited by Geoff Craig Do you have questions or comments, or just want to say hello?

HOLLYROCK — ROCK EN EL CINE Vol. 2 Volvemos a uno de esos formatos que mejor representan el espíritu de HOLLYROCK: Cine y música caminando juntos. Porque hay canciones que no solo recordamos por cómo suenan… sino por la escena, el personaje o la película con la que quedaron unidas para siempre. En este nuevo volumen viajamos por el cine de los 80, 90 y algunos títulos más recientes para hablar de películas muy distintas entre sí: acción, comedia, thriller, terror, cine de culto… pero todas conectadas por algo muy importante: grandes canciones de rock, hard rock, heavy y AOR. Desde clásicos absolutos como Rocky IV, Cocktail, Casino o Flashdance… hasta joyas más ocultas como Real Genius, Iron Eagle o Sin escape. Y como siempre en HOLLYROCK, no se trata solo de poner canciones. La idea es volver a esas películas, recordar por qué funcionaban tan bien, hablar de sus actores, de su ambiente, de lo que transmitían… y escuchar cada tema dentro de su contexto cinematográfico. Hay cine de videoclub. Hay películas de culto. Hay nostalgia ochentera. Y también algún descubrimiento moderno. Todo unido por guitarras, escenas inolvidables y bandas sonoras que ayudaron a definir generaciones enteras. Así que prepara las palomitas, sube el volumen… y vuelve al cine con nosotros.

Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, Expendables, Creed II, The Witcher) joins us this week for the most open conversation we have ever had. Dolph walks me through the kidney cancer diagnosis he kept secret for seven years, the misdiagnosis at a major LA hospital that nearly cost him his life, and the surreal moment he got the news in Sweden then drove the Gumball Rally at 150 miles an hour through Europe with his daughter sitting next to him. We also get into the suicidal stretch that followed treatment, the Stallone rift over a possible Drago movie, the new reality show with his daughters, and why he now calls the whole cancer experience a gift.

Cathy and Todd discuss Rocky IV, the 1985 film that Sylvester Stallone wrote, directed, and starred in, grossing $300 million on a $31 million budget and spending six weeks at number one over Christmas. They break down Apollo Creed’s shocking death at the hands of Ivan Drago and the real story of Brigitte Nielsen sliding a photo under Stallone’s hotel room door and landing a role he wrote specifically for her. They dig into what the film is really about, whether Drago is a villain or the Soviet state’s most tragic victim, how every great sports movie is secretly about an individual fighting an institution that doesn’t want them to win, and why a film that won five Razzie Awards is still so beloved to this day.

You're one decision away. Not from the result. From becoming the person who earns the right to pursue it.In episode 110 of The Authentic Dentist Podcast, Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas unpack the identity shift that precedes every real transformation in dentistry and in life. They draw from Rocky IV, Olympic weightlifting, youth rock climbing, and the Israelites wandering outside the promised land to expose why so many skilled practitioners stay stuck admiring other people's authentic dental practices instead of building their own.This is not motivational fluff. Allison and Shawn dismantle the fantasy that belief alone creates change. They name the real work: rewriting the evidence of past failures, refusing to give that evidence power over a new identity, then aligning every daily choice around who you've decided to become.If you're a dentist navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, a practice that no longer fits, or the slow drift of being a spectator of your own career, this episode is a direct challenge. Stop being a fan. Count the cost.

"Crime is the disease. Meet the Cure.""The strong arm of the law."Back in the spring and summer of 1986, those were among several snappy taglines for this highly anticipated action thriller starring Oscar-winner Sylvester Stallone as his direct follow-up to TWO smash successes lead by him the previous year: Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rocky IV.  THIS time, he was playing the ultimate cop named Marion Cobretti (nickname: Cobra) who was on the hunt around Los Angeles for a brutal serial killer (or serial killers?) named the Night Slasher played by veteran character Brian Thompson (The Terminator, Miracle Mile, The X-Files).  This film was directed by George P. Cosmatos (Rambo, Tombstone) though apparently it ended up being co-directed by Stallone himself.  There was much hype for this film when it was released in May 1986 though the reviews were pretty poor, mostly related to its very simplistic plot and extreme violence and.....it did ok at the box office.  It wasn't the blockbuster which it was expected to be but the film made solid money at the worldwide box office.  Since then, it has garnered an increasingly rabid cult following and is now looked upon as one of Sly's most quotable films....his answer to Dirty Harry.  Let's see how it holds up forty years later and find out if.....THIS is where the law stops.....and HE starts. ;) Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

They had just hired this blonde bombshell for development, and I heard she was stolen from another big conservative group.

Han delar också ögonblicket då allt vände och vad som tillslut räddade hans liv. Men överlevnaden förde med sig en ny kamp – en djup existentiell kris och PTSD-liknande symptom.

Movies can suck. But movies that suck, are often the best!The Golden Raspebery Awards, aka, "The Razzies" started in the 1980s. This was the perfect time for Hollywood to get called out for its most excessive, over-the-top, and sometimes disastrous output, complete with a smirk and a deliberately tacky trophy made from a spray-painted golf ball.The deliberate anti-Oscars began as a sarcastic living-room gathering in 1981, sparked by a terrible double feature of Can't Stop the Music (fair) and Xanadu (how dare they!). It quickly turned into the annual roast of the decade's biggest cinematic failures. Disco musicals that should never have been made, bloated blockbusters that collapsed under their own weight, vanity projects, and action pictures that swung for the fences and missed badly. The 1980s supplied the Razzies with plenty of targets.It was a modest start - founder John J. B. Wilson passing out ballots in his Hollywood apartment, using a broomstick with a foam ball as a mock microphone. The event grew into something the press actually started covering by the middle of the decade. There were some recurring themes: musicals gone wrong, jungle-set misadventures, big-name stars stepping far outside their comfort zones, and the sheer nerve it took to release some of these films.No look at the Razzies of the 1980s is complete without Sylvester Stallone. He collected Worst Actor awards the way some people collect trophies: Rhinestone, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rocky IV in the same year, Rambo III, and several others. He eventually earned Worst Actor of the Decade at the 1990 ceremony, covering the full 1980s output. His female counterpart for worst of the decade? The one and only, Bo Derek!Maybe the Razzies were right, but those same movies were the ones that played endlessly on VHS, get quoted in conversations, and still have some die hard audiences. This episode is about the laughs, the sheer absurdity of some of those productions, and the reminder that even in its most ridiculous moments, Hollywood in the 1980s was actually pretty awesome.

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.

In this episode, Dave, Rob, and Kurt step into the ring with Rocky IV (1985), one of the most over-the-top and iconic entries in the franchise. We'll dive into the big questions fans have debated for decades: did Rocky single-handedly solve the Cold War with his fists and an inspiring speech? And when it comes to Apollo Creed's tragic death at the gloves of Ivan Drago, who really shoulders the blame—Apollo himself, Rocky for not throwing in the towel, or the unstoppable force that was Drago? Along the way, we'll look at how this film turned boxing into a symbol of global politics and gave audiences a hero who could seemingly take on an entire superpower. Of course, no discussion of Rocky IV is complete without talking about the montages—the heart-pumping, sweat-drenched, music-driven sequences that might just be the best in movie history. From training in the Siberian wilderness to Drago's high-tech gym sessions, the film pushes the art of the montage to new heights, all set against a killer 80s-inspired soundtrack packed with arena-rock anthems that defined the decade. Join us as the three of us break down the movie, its legacy, and whether this slice of 80s cinema magic is more than just cheesy patriotism wrapped in a boxing glove.

Dolph Lundgren is a renowned Swedish actor, director, producer, and now entrepreneur. He is celebrated for his iconic role as Ivan Drago in "Rocky IV" and has become synonymous with blockbuster action films like "The Expendables," "Aquaman," and "Creed." With a rare mix of intellectual rigor in chemical engineering and mastery in martial arts, Dolph's path from academia to Hollywood is as remarkable as his screen presence. A true Hollywood heavyweight. A living legend.In this riveting episode, Dolph Lundgren opens up about both his legendary film career and his bold leap into entrepreneurship. Known worldwide for his role as Ivan Drago, he shares the remarkable journey from Sweden to global stardom and, ultimately, to founding Hard Cut Vodka. We dive into the lessons Dolph has learned while transitioning into the business world, revealing the strategies that have fueled his success both on-screen and in the entrepreneurial arena.This conversation unpacks Dolph's evolution from the structured discipline of chemical engineering to the unpredictable world of Hollywood and business. He reflects on the risks of leaving a full scholarship at MIT to pursue acting, the highs and lows of life in film, and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward. With themes of perseverance, passion, and reinvention, this episode offers a powerful look into Dolph's life philosophy — and how it drives his entrepreneurial vision today.Key Takeaways:Dolph Lundgren's transition from engineering to acting highlights the courage needed to pursue one's true passion over a conventional, safe path.The journey to success is not linear; facing and overcoming challenges define growth and achievement in both film and business.Perseverance and adaptability are crucial traits, whether dealing with the high stakes of Hollywood or the intricacies of entrepreneurship.Dolph views life as an adventure, advocating for believing in oneself and constantly pushing forward through life's hurdles.Building a business, like filmmaking, requires a combination of creativity, motivation, and resilience amid regulatory and operational challenges.Notable Quotes:"It's a struggle. Every day is a struggle. You know, you have to get up in the morning and you have to face, you know, eight bad moments and then hopefully, you know, 10 great moments.""Life is short, and you have to get the most out of it... I wanted to follow my passion.""When the going gets really rough and you have no help, and it's up to yourself, and you think you're not going to make it, that's when you have to push through.""I think the perseverance, something I brought along, I think also working with people and trying to motivate people, being creative as well.""That's the gift I had—to be able to make people feel better or try to give them something and... enlighten their lives."Connect with Dolph Lundgren:InstagramIMDBHardCutVodkaConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter
