Cet épisode est différent et je suis heureuse qu'il le soit.Il est différent parce que c'est une traversée dans le monde de combattantes et combattants,que la société laisse encore sur le banc de touche. Tout a commencé avec un message de Thierry Maroudin Jasmin.Il me disait organiser un événement dédié à la Handiboxe,avec son association “ LES GANTS DU COEUR”,et qu'à cette occasion, il aurait aimé faire un podcast.Un podcast pour mettre la lumière sur des oubliés.Thierry, c'était un danseur lorsqu'à l'âge de 27 ans, il décide de vivre son rêve de gosse : monter sur un ring et comme Rocky Balboa, devenir boxeur professionnel !On lui dit qu'il est trop vieux, que son genou est abîmé,mais Thierry ne lâche rien et vivra pleinement son rêve pendant plusieurs années.A 33 ans, le pensionnaire du Levallois Sporting Club raccroche les gants avec l'envie furieuse de transmettre."A l'époque, mon sponsor me dit que son fils rêve de faire de la boxe mais que ce ne sera pas possible parce qu'il a une agénésie de la main droite, une malformation. J'ai senti une injustice. Comment c'est pas possible ? Et c'est de là que l'aventure a commencé. J'ai monté l'association Handiboxe en 2007 au Levallois Sporting Club." Et la section handiboxe accueille aujourd'hui une trentaine d'adhérents.Ce nouvel épisode de Combattantes met à l'honneur deux femmes : Sophie Monet et Céline Baillon.Au moment où je les retrouve dans la salle de boxe du Gymnase Marcel Cerdan de Levallois, Sophie s'applique à frapper dans le sac. Sophie a 61 ans, elle est mariée et maman de 3 enfants. C'est à l'âge de 40 ans qu'on lui a diagnostiqué une sclérose en plaques.Un peu plus loin dans la salle, j'aperçois Céline Baillon, soutenant le corps de son fils Hugo pour que lui aussi frappe dans le sac de boxe. Ils parcourent cinquante kilomètres pour venir au club, faute d'alternative plus proche de chez eux. Hugo a 15 ans,la boxe, c'était son rêve.Cette traversée dans le monde de Sophie et Céline est une occasion de questionner la place des personnes en situation de handicap : dans nos rues, au travail, dans le sport, dans nos représentations mentales ou dans nos liens quotidiens ;et la manière dont nous pouvons agir collectivement et concrètement.Belle écoute,et à bientôt pour traverser le monde de nouvelles combattantes !------------------------------------------Avec la partopation de Sadi Diop, coach de Handiboxe.Vous pouvez retrouver sur Instagram :- Les Gants du coeur : https://www.instagram.com/les.gants.du.coeur/- Levallois Sporting Club : https://www.instagram.com/levallois_sporting_club/- Combattantes podcast : instagram.com/combattantes_podcast/Références :- Extrait Musique : OLDELAF - J'veux être musclé- Extrait Musique : ZAHO DE SAGAZAN - Je rêveSi vous souhaitez m'aider à financer le projet Combattantes

In this week's episode of Born to Watch, the boys step back into the ring for a full Creed 2015 Movie Review, diving deep into the legacy sequel that had the impossible task of continuing one of cinema's most iconic franchises. The Rocky series is sacred ground for movie lovers, sports fans and anyone who's ever wanted to punch frozen meat in a warehouse while inspirational music blasts in the background. But can Creed escape the shadow of Rocky Balboa and become something more than just another nostalgia cash grab?Whitey, G-Man and Dan on the Land lace up the gloves to unpack Ryan Coogler's 2015 boxing drama starring Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson. The boys discuss whether Adonis Creed's search for identity mirrors the movie's own struggle to forge a new path while still leaning heavily on the Rocky formula fans know and love.The crew debates whether Creed should've been a "hit it and quit it" one-off film, with Whitey arguing the sequels may have actually hurt the legacy of the original movie. There's also a breakdown of the emotional parallels between Rocky and Apollo Creed, why sports movies continue to hit men directly in the soul, and whether boxing films are basically mandatory viewing for blokes everywhere.Dan on the Land brings his own unique "pugilist" expertise to the review after heading straight from boxing training into the recording session. Naturally, this leads to discussions about outlaw dirt bike gangs, whiskey-throttling into barbed wire fences, and whether Michael B. Jordan actually fights like a real boxer or just looks good doing it on camera.The boys also dive into the film's incredible cinematography, especially the famous one-shot fight scene against Leo Sporino. Dan explains why the boxing choreography in Creed is miles ahead of the original Rocky films, while Whitey questions whether the movie rushes Adonis into world-level fights too quickly without earning it first.There's a huge conversation about the movie's emotional side, too. Does Creed actually succeed as a character study in the same way the original Rocky did? Was Rocky's cancer storyline genuinely moving or just emotional manipulation? And did the filmmakers wait too long before finally unleashing the iconic Rocky music cues everyone was waiting for?As always, the episode goes completely off the rails in classic Born to Watch fashion. The boys somehow detour into discussions about awkward TV scenes, The Wire connections, Ryan Gosling in The Big Short, The Hateful Eight, bum jokes, cowboy hats in Cape Town clubs, and why Whitey believes Pretty Ricky Conlan is one of the weakest final opponents in the entire Rocky universe.There's also a deep dive into Ryan Coogler's career, including Fruitvale Station, Black Panther and Sinners, plus a breakdown of Michael B. Jordan's rise to superstardom. The boys discuss Stallone's Oscar-nominated performance as Rocky Balboa and whether he was robbed of the Academy Award after winning the Golden Globe.On top of all that, you'll get the usual Born to Watch segments, including Overs and Unders, Hit/Sleeper/Dud, box office breakdowns, Rotten Tomatoes scores, and the famous Critical Thinking segment where the boys tackle the important questions, like whether you can realistically wear a grey tracksuit into a hip hop club.If you love boxing movies, Rocky nostalgia, hilarious tangents and three Aussie idiots trying to unpack one of the best sports dramas of the modern era, this episode is for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Is Creed the best Rocky movie since the original? Did the sequels ruin the legacy of Creed? Was Stallone robbed of the Oscar? And most importantly… could you catch the chicken?#Creed #Rocky #CreedReview #MichaelBJordan #SylvesterStallone #BoxingMovies #BornToWatch #MoviePodcast #SportsMovies #FilmReview

The film is Rocky III, and it's about to go the distance…NOW!!I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we travel back to a summer with virtually nothing but bangers are fellow cinephiles and former prize fighters Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.Topics of discussion in this episode include the origin of Mr. T's famous catch phrase; Rocky III proves once and for all that wrestling is real, damn it!; and finally, Rocky Balboa uses the Homer Simpson strategy of boxing to defeat his most powerful adversary yet.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello Kaiju Lovers! Because Matt Walsh (no, not that Matt Walsh) is a crazy man who just happened to be on the Island to play Super Mario at a kids party, he jumped to the joke tier on our Patreon called “Jimmy's Intern” (again). This time, it's to discuss a 1979 movie directed by John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, 1962) that has a pseudo-kaiju bear voiced by Megatron and played by the Predator and stars Rocky Balboa's girlfriend. (For SEO purposes, that's Frank Welker, Kevin Peter Hall, and Talia Shire). Jimmy has the day off for this one, which may or may not have been a good idea. Matt argues the movie is better than its reputation. Meanwhile, Nate adds three moments—including a cult status-worthy scene of “peak cinema”—to his “not on my bingo card” list. Also, John was drunk.

Rocky Balboa never actually lived in Philly (since he is the fictional character portrayed by actor Sylvester Stallone). But if you take a look around the city, he definitely has a home here. Rocky is on posters, shirts, and mugs. He's even quoted in a mayonnaise billboard along the highway. The pinnacle of the character's influence can be seen in the long lines at the Philadelphia Museum of Art leading up to a statue of his likeness. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Paul Farber, co-founder of Monument Lab and the curator of Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments – a new exhibit exploring why people are so fixated on Rocky and what this lore says about the impact of monuments on culture.  Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.

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. Feedback to contrafib2001@gmail.com Facebook⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/filmgoldpod⁠⁠⁠ Twitter⁠⁠https://twitter.com/FilmGold75⁠ Antony's website (blog, music, podcasts) ⁠⁠⁠https://www.antonyrotunno.com⁠ Antony's John Lennon/Beatles and Psychology/Alt.

Send us Fan MailLife doesn't always tap you on the shoulder. Sometimes it swings, again and again, until your body is tired, your mind just won't shut up, and your spirit feels cornered. So I come in hot with a Rocky Balboa quote because it nails the moment: winning is not about avoiding the hit, it's about taking it and still moving forward. After a rough day of feeling attacked physically and mentally, I choose to “hit back” with what actually works for me and maybe you'd like to give it a try too.As always I pray for your greatest health, vibrant energy and of course PEACE!Support the show

Cathy and Todd discuss Rocky (1976), a film that feels more like a documentary than a traditional sports movie, set in the working-class neighborhoods of Philadelphia and made on a shoestring budget by writer and star Sylvester Stallone and director John G. Avildsen. The story follows Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer and part-time debt collector living an almost invisible life, who unexpectedly gets a shot at the heavyweight title against champion Apollo Creed as a publicity stunt. At its core, the film is about Rocky trying to prove he's not a “bum,” developing his relationship with Adrian, and wrestling with the deeper question of self-worth over winning. It's a grounded, human portrait of people searching for meaning and wanting their lives to matter, even if they don't win. They'll continue with Rocky II next week as part of their Rocky Month series.

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.

In this fan favorite from way back in 2023, Rafe discusses the 1976 Academy Award Winning Movie Rocky and how it shows that to fulfill your calling to become what you were made to become, you must discipline yourself to practice virtue.  Rocky is a story of a good man who could be Great, if he would only practice discipline and virtue.  In it we learn to see that we must work to fulfill the nature of our design and that a man must fight his dragon, even if he knows that he will lose.The consequence of taking on this yoke is the fulfillment of the person and the growth of those around you; Love is the result.Every 12-year-old boy (and most everyone else too) should watch Rocky for what it teaches us about Virtue.#bufnagle #fightingdragons #rocky #academyaward #1976 #boxing #virtue #greatness #winning #losing #virtue #love #telos #greatmovies #stallone #philly #philadelphia #discipline #character*****As always, you can reach the Buf at bufnagle@bufnagle.com*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!

Rosa's Plane Trip Witness Wednesday, Rosa's plane trip. So as you all know, I had to go to Rhode Island because my mom had two strokes and my flight back was on Monday, March 2nd. My brother, who also lives in Florida, was in New Jersey at the time because of my niece's cheerleading competition. So my brother decided to rent a vehicle and go all the way to Rhode Island to surprise my mom, which he did. And it was such a beautiful surprise. So I decided to take the ride back with him back to Philadelphia and travel from Philadelphia to Orlando versus from Rhode Island to Orlando. On our way, we received a first email stating that our flight was going to be delayed until 8.13. Our flight was originally at 7.46. So we didn't think much of it because we still had plenty of time. So we just kept riding. We stopped in New Jersey, did a little bit of sightseeing. Then when we were getting closer to Philly, we received another email stating that our flight was going to be delayed until 9.35 p.m. So we stopped in Philadelphia. We went sightseeing. We went to the Liberty Bell. Then we went to Rocky Balboa's statue. So while we were there, I felt in my spirit, just in my heart, that the flight was going to be canceled. But no, we received another email stating that our flight was going to be delayed until 10.13. So we just were there and I still keep feeling that in my gut that the flight was going to be canceled. So a few minutes later, we received another email stating that our flight was canceled. So we just thought, what are we going to do? What's going on? Why are they canceling the flight with no explanation? They just sent emails. They didn't tell us why the flights were going to be canceled. So my brother and his family started panicking and I said, no, I'm not going to panic. I'm just going to pray. So I just did that. I started praying and praying. So we decided to go to the airport to Spirit Airlines to ask them, you know, what's going to happen because we cannot stay in Philadelphia because we're from Orlando and we're far away from our family in Rhode Island. So while we were on our way, I decided to call Spirit Airlines. So when I was speaking to the person, the person was very negative and all she kept saying was, I'm sorry, unfortunately, I'm sorry, unfortunately. So she was just saying things that she couldn't do instead of just trying to call me and give us peace. So she kept putting me on hold and kept checking flights and she said, we don't have anything until 48 hours. Then she came back on the line saying that we have something for the next day at 746, but it's going to be with a stop. And we started telling her, it's no good. You know, we can't stay here. We have no family. We have no money to stay in the hotel. So we need something for today. So she kept looking and looking. We arrived at the airport. We were in front of the Spirit Terminal. And then she just kept saying, no, there's nothing I can do. There's nothing I can do. I asked her for a supervisor and she said, well, I am the supervisor and I'm trying my best. I explained to her that I have a special need daughter that's diabetic, that has chronic arthritis, and that she cannot sit for a long time. She cannot walk a long distance and we cannot stay at the airport. So she kept looking and looking. While we were on hold, she stated, I'm going to see if I can find a different airline that can help you, but you are six. Maybe for you and for your daughter, I can try to find something and fit you in, but you are six. I said, well, they're my family and they're helping me with my daughter. I cannot just leave them here because they have no money, no place to stay, no one here that they know. So I cannot just leave them. So where she kept looking, I received an email stating that my flight has been changed and they booked me with American Airlines. So while I was still on hold, we started running to the terminal, to American Airlines terminal, so we can be there. The flight stated, the email stated that our flight was going to be at 717 and that we had to board by 636. We were there at 610. We were not even on time to board and do all the checking. They stated, because it was less than 45 minutes, we could not add our bags. So we said, we have to take our bags. The other thing is that they had my niece as an unaccompanied minor, which that is a mistake that the other airline made. And they probably couldn't make, they couldn't change it because of the time. So I started praying. I started praying. I started praying. And yes, we were able to all be checked in and checked our bags in. But now we had to go from the terminal to the boarding and it was already like 625. So we had to run and try to make it. So thank God, we made it. The only other thing is, we had to pay for our bags again. Our bags, which we had paid already through the original airline, we had to pay them again through American Airlines. I had two bags, which I had to pay $80. I only had like $90 in my account. So I had to use the $80 to pay the bags again. And honestly, I don't know how my daughter and I were going to eat since we didn't even have time to eat. We only had breakfast in the morning. So mind you, this was all stressing us out. No money. Now we had to run from one terminal to another. We had to run to the boarding gate. So everything was stressing us out. I kept praying and thanking God. So we made it, as I mentioned, to the terminal. And guess what? Two angels sent me money. One angel sent me $100. The other angel sent me $75. So the Lord not only made a way for me to make this flight, but he also provided for me to eat, for my daughter and I to eat. So I just want to share and give testimony of the power of prayer. The Lord made a way. The Lord just opened the doors behind the scenes. Even though I couldn't see in the physical what He was doing, He made a way. Instead of me just panicking and just losing my peace, I started walking up and down the corridor, just praying in the Spirit, just thanking Him and just praying and declaring His Word so He can make a way, which He did. So I just want to share with you this brief testimony and let you know that even though sometimes we don't see what He's doing, the Lord is moving. The Lord is making a way where there seems no way.

The newest installment of ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 series, The Philly Special, focuses on the moment that propelled the Philadelphia Eagles to an upset win over the Patriots for their first Super Bowl title in 2018, told through the perspectives of the players, coaches, and fans who experienced it. It's also a personal look at the city of Philadelphia, with its unique mix of heartfelt optimism, notorious pessimism, and unbridled underdog passion. Since 2018, the Philly Special has been immortalized on t-shirts, tattoos, murals, a statue outside Lincoln Financial Field, restaurant menus and multiple holiday albums recorded by the Eagles. It has transcended football to become part of Philadelphia's cultural identity. It's not just a play; it's a rallying cry for a city used to being overlooked. While Philadelphia might be the birthplace of America, the 6th most populated city in the country lives and dies with an underdog mentality – one epitomized by the Founding Fathers, Rocky Balboa…and The Philly Special. The Philly Special was directed by Shannon Furman and Angela Zender. An Emmy Award winning director and producer with over 20 years of storytelling and production experience, Shannon Furman directed 10 seasons of the critically acclaimed series Hard Knocks (HBO). She is the lead director and showrunner for the Emmy nominated series Hey Rookie (ESPN) and is also a director on the hit series Quarterback (Netflix). She has directed All or Nothing (Amazon), and her work on the series A Football Life (NFL Network) includes directing the untold story of Brandon Marshall.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Once Upon a Time in the world of professional boxing....Apollo Creed was the champion of the world.  He eventually lost his title to Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone who would receive an Oscar nomination for his performance in this film) who would also lose the title before winning it back with Apollo as his trainer.  They remained very good friends right up until the day that Apollo tragically lost his life during an exhibition match against the feared Russian boxer, Ivan Drago.  But did you know that Apollo actually had a son right before he died??That son is Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) and he has now become a boxer himself to the consternation of his mother (Phylicia Rashad), only he has been struggling to find some one who can train him.  So one day he travels across the country to Philadelphia to seek out the former champion whom his father trained when he needed him the most.....and after some hesitation, Rocky decides to train him as he works his way up the professional boxing circuit.  Along the way, Adonis also finds a companion in Philly with the lovely singer Bianca (Tessa Thompson) when suddenly, he has the opportunity to fight for the SAME boxing title which his father previously had.  What results is one of the most beloved sports dramas of recent years directed by future Oscar-nominee Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Sinners) as his first major studio film.  Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon  Send us a textSupport 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/

Richard Allen confessed to molesting his sister. She says it never happened. He confessed to molesting his daughter. She denies it too. He said he shot Abby Williams and Libby German. They weren't shot—they were stabbed.And those are the confessions Indiana used to convict him of murder.According to the 113-page Appellant's Brief now before the Indiana Court of Appeals, Richard Allen's confessions came after five months in maximum-security solitary confinement—a placement that violated Indiana's own 30-day policy for mentally ill inmates. By the time he started confessing, state doctors had declared him "gravely disabled." He'd dropped from 180 to 135 pounds. He was eating his own feces, drinking toilet water, and couldn't remember confessing days after he did it.Before solitary, Allen never broke. Two interrogations. Hours of pressure. Detectives lying about evidence. His own wife brought in as leverage. His response stayed consistent: "I did not murder two little girls. I don't care how stressed out I get, I am not going to admit to something I had nothing to do with."Five months later, he was asking guards if he was already dead.The prosecution called these confessions "logical and organized." They presented them as the unburdening of a guilty soul. But the jury never heard the audio—Judge Gull ordered it muted. They never heard Allen screaming incoherently, rambling about World War III, saying "Rocky Balboa is my favorite actor."They got silence. They got the state's narrative. And Richard Allen got 130 years.Today we break down what these confessions actually looked like—and why the details Allen got wrong may matter more than anything he got right.#RichardAllenTrial #DelphiMurders #TrueCrimeNews #FalseConfessions #AbbyAndLibby #WrongfulConviction #DelphiUpdate #CriminalJustice #LibbyGerman #AbbyWilliamsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Richard Allen was declared "gravely disabled" by Indiana's own doctors. He'd lost 45 pounds. He was eating feces, drinking toilet water, and banging his head bloody against his cell door. He couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.That's when the confessions started. And Indiana used every single one of them to convict him.According to the Appellant's Brief filed in Richard Allen's appeal, the man who sat through two police interrogations without breaking—who told detectives "I did not murder two little girls" despite hours of pressure and lies about evidence—collapsed after five months in maximum-security solitary confinement. A confinement that violated Indiana's own 30-day policy for mentally ill inmates.The prosecution told the jury his confessions were "logical and organized." The jury never heard the audio. Judge Gull ordered it muted. They never heard Allen screaming for his father. Never heard him rambling about World War III. Never heard him say "Rocky Balboa is my favorite actor" and "clap on, clap off" in the same breath he confessed.He said he shot the girls. They were stabbed. He confessed to molesting family members who denied it happened. He gave details that don't match the actual timeline. Days after confessing, he asked if he had confessed—he couldn't remember.Dr. Grassian, a psychiatrist specializing in solitary confinement, testified these are hallmarks of false memory: beliefs that evolve into perceived recollections in a mind that can no longer distinguish reality from delusion.Today we examine what the confessions actually looked like, what Allen got provably wrong, and whether Indiana manufactured guilt by breaking a mentally ill man in a box.#RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #AbbyAndLibby #FalseConfession #TrueCrimePodcast #WrongfulConviction #DelphiAppeal #SolitaryConfinement #LibbyGerman #AbbyWilliamsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From Rocky to Rambo to his latest hit Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone has spent decades defying the odds. Long before Hollywood stardom, he was a struggling actor in a New York apartment, writing the script for Rocky that would change his life. In this Sitdown, Stallone reflects on the hardships that fueled his drive, why he refused to let anyone else play Rocky, and how receiving the Kennedy Center Honors has impacted his perspective on legacy.
