Por apenas R$ 5 mensais, você colabora com o podcast Mais Que um Filme:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.catarse.me/juliagavillanOu você pode me pagar um café via pix: julia.gavillan@gmail.comUma das franquias mais bem-sucedidas da história do cinema nasceu de um ator que, assim como seu protagonista, estava em busca de apenas uma oportunidade para mostrar que poderia ter uma chance em Hollywood.No início da década de 1970, Sylvester Stallone era um ator desconhecido tentando fazer sucesso em Nova York. Sua vida mudou quando ele viu a luta entre Muhammad Ali e Chuck Wepner, saindo completamente encantado por Wepner ter levado seu rival amplamente favorito à lona em 1975. Wepner perdeu a luta, mas Stallone ganhou a inspiração que precisava para mudar sua carreira para sempre. Eu sou Júlia Gavillan e esse é o Mais Que um Filme.

Irwin Winkler has spent more than six decades in Hollywood, producing films that have earned 52 Academy Award nominations and helped define generations of moviegoers. His credits include Rocky, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Right Stuff, and The Irishman, but the path that led to those films was anything but predictable.In this episode of Big Shot, hosts Harley Finkelstein and David Segal sit down with Irwin to look back on the twists, turns, relationships, and moments of good fortune that shaped his remarkable career. From the William Morris mailroom to launching an agency with Robert Chartoff, from representing Julie Christie to hearing Sylvester Stallone pitch Rocky, Irwin shares the stories behind a life spent at the center of the movie business.Along the way, he reflects on the people who changed his life, the opportunities he almost missed, and the unexpected chain of events that led from a kid growing up in Brooklyn to one of the most successful producers in Hollywood history.—In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(03:13) Growing up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (07:11) Moving to the Sea Gate in Coney Island(08:26) Irwin's first attempt at NYU(10:22) Why he enlisted in the Army (10:55) Back to NYU after the Army(12:00) How he got interested in working for a talent agency(14:20) From summer mailroom gig at William Morris to full-time job (18:45) Climbing the ranks at William Morris(23:18) Leaving William Morris to work with Bob Chartoff (29:14) How Julie Christie helped launch his producing career(39:47) Meeting Sylvester Stallone and hearing the Rocky pitch(48:53) Rocky's reception and the reshoot that saved the film(51:48) How he started working with Martin Scorsese(53:54) Managing productions and safeguarding creatives(57:01) How Rocky II helped get Raging Bull made(59:45) Funding movies then vs. now (1:01:47) Irwin's thoughts on AI and CGI (1:03:14) The role of luck, hard work, and partnerships in his success(1:07:12) The story of meeting Jack Warner and the Six-Day War(1:10:21) Irwin's perspective on Jewish success in business and entertainment—Where To Find Irwin Winkler:• Website: https://winklerfilms.comWhere To Find Big Shot: • Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bigshot.show/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@bigshotpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@bigshotshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bigshotshow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • Harley Finkelstein: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/harleyf⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • David Segal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/tea_maverick⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Production and Marketing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://penname.co⁠

James Mangold, today, is a big time, high quality filmmaker. But in 1997, he was just getting started and thanks to the movie Film Seizure is going to talk about today, he got great performances from a high profile cast with the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert DeNiro. Let's go visit Cop Land!

James Mangold's Cop Land Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, and Sylvester Stallone in one of the most highly-anticipated films of the 1990s . . . Springing from the headlines of the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, and today, James Mangold's 1997 police corruption drama was released to critical acclaim and tepid box-office. In an era of 90s Independent filmmaking, focusing on newspaper/magazine headlines and evening newscasts, Mangold would write and pitch a story (ostensibly a Western) set in modern day life. The reluctant hero, Sheriff Freddy Heflin (an overweight, tired, and sad Stallone), who is neither the Rocky or Rambo hero Stallone is known for, fighting the corruption of an all-star cast of big-city police living outside of the city in a mob financed town. Stallone versus Keitel, Robert Patrick, Peter Berg and John Spencer, with a cocaine-addled Ray Liotta as back-up, and a disheveled, angry, and calculating Internal Affairs officer played by DeNiro manipulating the scene, Mangold's second film - with obvious comparisons to Scorsese - stands out as an brutal and honest look at police corruption and those wiling to stand up against it.

Smithee est le pire réalisateur de l'histoire du cinéma. Pourtant, il a réalisé plus d'une centaine de films et certains avec des stars comme Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins ou Sylvester Stallone. Comment a-t-il pu en tourner autant s'il est si mauvais ? Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.

Cooper and Nolan are letting it all hang out this week when they cover CLIFFHANGER! This notable 90s entry from Sylvester Stallone was one of the last big movies of the bodybuilder action boom, and it pretty much follows the exact formula you'd expect. Still, between the hit-or-miss one-liners, extremely emotional closeups, and some VERY questionable casting, there's plenty for the guys to discuss - plus they're finally settling the chug bet they made back in February! So get ready to gear up for a good time; this episode (featuring a beer from the Blue Mountain Brewing Co.) definitely won't leave you out in the cold.

insta : laboite2chocolat ou la_boitedechocolatPour ce 36 eme épisode on va se taper d'un bon gros nanar comme on les aime mais qui pourtant a inspiré au moins 3 épisodes de la saga Mission impossible et The Dark Knight Rises, oui oui je suis sérieux en vous disant ça, ce film c'est Cliffhanger !Alors Cliffhanger ça raconte quoi ? Et bien c'est Gabe Walker, joué par Sylvester Stallone, qui est un secouriste de montagne qui traîne une culpabilité XXL après avoir raté un sauvetage. Pour oublier, il décide évidemment de… retourner en montagne. Parce que la thérapie, c'est surfait. Sauf qu'au lieu de tomber sur des randonneurs perdus, il récupère une bande de braqueurs qui ont fait planter leur avion avec des valises pleines de billets. Des mecs tellement organisés qu'ils transforment un casse en randonnée de l'enfer.S'ensuit une succession de scènes où Stallone escalade des falaises à mains nues, survit à des chutes qui pulvériseraient les lois de la physique, distribue des mandales avec la délicatesse d'un camion-benne et fait comprendre aux méchants qu'ils ont choisi le pire guide de montagne de l'histoire. Le chef des bandits, putain il est naze, il est joué par John Lithgow, il passe son temps à sourire comme un méchant de dessin animé convaincu que son plan est génial. Et alors Richard, la vache, on n'a jamais vu un sbir faire un si gros Burn out dans un film.En résumé, c'est Die Hard qui a décidé de partir faire de l'alpinisme après trois canettes de boisson énergisante. Un pur concentré de cinéma d'action des années 90 où la gravité est une simple suggestionPour parler de ce bon gros nanar on retrouve Thomas, Charlie et l'autre Thomas.N'hésitez pas d'ailleurs à nous LAISSER DES COMMENTAIRES ET AUSSI DES BONNES ETOILES (déjà parce qu'on est des gens cool), et puis aussi suggérez nous des films, on les fera avec plaisir.VOUS ETES DE PLUS EN PLUS NOMBREUX, SOYEZ DE MOINS EN MOINS TIMIDE voici notre mail pour toutes suggestions / propositions de films : laboitedechocolatmail@gmail.com Hébergé par Acast.

Propelled by Survivor's massive hit single ”Eye of the Tiger,” 1982's “Rocky III” mirrored Sylvester Stallone's meteoric rise to fame and ushered in the Reagan 80's with energy and vibrancy. The film explored new terrain for the franchise, showing the consequences of celebrity, complacency and mortality. Jim Camlek and Nick Malone lace up their gloves and return to the ring to pity any fool who doesn't champion this rousing entertainment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rocky (1976), om en halvt uträknad boxare som får gå en match mot världsmästaren, blev en av 1970-talets största succéer. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Det var en saga, till stor del filmad i verkliga miljöer i ett nedgånget Philadelphia.Bakgrundshistorien var också sagolik. Sylvester Stallone var en okänd birollsskådespelare när han skrev manuset till filmen som gjorde honom till stjärna. I en tid när amerikanska filmer blev mer komplicerade visade det sig att en rak och enkel historia alltid kan golva publiken.Filmen vann tre Oscar, som bästa film och för bästa regi och bästa klippning. Regissören John G. Avildsen blev senare också regissör till flera ”Karate Kid”-filmer, som kan beskrivas som mer barninriktade Rockyfilmer.Filmkritikern Mårten Blomkvist har sett om en corny klassiker som det är svårt att värja sig emot.

McKay investigates the concept that the defining factor of success isn't staying perfectly motivated, but rather the courage to "begin again" every time life knocks you down. He explains that meaningful breakthroughs are often the result of quiet, repeated decisions made long before the world notices the "home run."Drawing on powerful narratives of late bloomers and resilient leaders, McKay shows how waiting is never wasted time. He shares the story of Bryan Torres, who spent 11 years in the minor leagues before a spectacular MLB debut, and Tara Westover, who overcame a survivalist upbringing to earn a PhD from Cambridge. By examining the lives of such icons as Grandma Moses, Sylvester Stallone, and Abraham Lincoln, McKay illustrates that our personal timelines are unique and that setbacks are often necessary preparation for a greater destiny. This episode provides listeners with a framework for letting go of past disappointments, utilizing the "I don't understand it" file for unexplained pain, and finding the resolve to go one more round.Main Themes:The Bryan Torres Story: Lessons from 11 years in the minor leaguesWhy the "waiting" period is actually a season of essential preparation"Nana korobi ya oki": The Japanese philosophy of falling seven times and rising eightTara Westover and the power of starting from scratch to achieve the impossibleThe "I Don't Understand It" file: A strategy for emotional release and moving forwardGrandma Moses and the myth of the "missed window" for successSylvester Stallone's "Rocky" moment: The conviction to bet on yourselfAbraham Lincoln: How a lifetime of political defeat built a national saviorShifting the focus from "Am I there yet?" to "Am I better than I was?"How tiny, consistent improvements compound into extraordinary characterTop 10 Quotes:"What if the waiting is not wasted? What if the years nobody notices are actually the years building the person capable of handling the moment?""Every time you decide again, you get a little better.""Disappointment can do one of two things: it can harden you or it can sharpen you.""The world only sees the harvest, but God sees the planting.""Fall seven times, rise eight.""Success is often built through tiny improvements repeated consistently.""Nobody becomes extraordinary instantly. People become extraordinary by repeatedly improving ordinary things.""Some flowers bloom early, some bloom late, but both are still flowers.""Goals eventually end, but character, the character you develop, remains.""When Lincoln lost, he did not restart from zero. He restarted from the experience that he gained."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

So this was one of the most powerful shows that I've ever had the honor of producing in the last nine years. I did make formal show notes, but I just don't think it does it justice. First off, I want to say thank you to Don Mann, Seal Team 6 legend, star of Surviving Mann and the toughest man I have ever known.Randy Couture -Google the name TV&Movie Star alongside Sylvester Stallone in the Expendables movie series UFC hall of famer, Six time UFC champion, 14 years in the UFC but there was so much that I didn't know about Randy.Randy is former US Military and his mission now is really out there to help others. He founded the Extreme Couture GI Foundation. He's collabed with merging vets and players. We talked about what it's like to be a UFC champion, what it takes. We talked about transition from that world into movie stardom. We talked about what real self defense and real fighting is like not just the sport if cage fighting.We talked about mental health, we talked about men's health. We talked about the pros and cons of social media and we focused on male role models, we talked about veteran mental health. We talked about so much.- this was truly one of the most powerful shows I have been part of- any summary here can not do it justice. So I encourage you to listen to it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Randy, thank you so much for coming on. Don, thank you for connecting us. We mentioned so many former guests on the show, it was brilliant. This was one of the most surprising and humbling shows I have ever recorded in the 9 years the podcast has been going- Randy is a true gentleman and his wisdom, humility and knowledge will astound you - hopefully as much as it did me.You can connect with Randy on the show notes below. Click on those but most importantly I would suggest Randy would want you to do is click on The Xtreme Couture GI Foundation xcgif.org and the Veteran Transition support vetsandplayers.org

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down some of the biggest lessons he learned from his conversation with Randy Couture. Randy is a five-time UFC heavyweight champion, actor, entrepreneur, and former Olympic wrestling alternate who built an incredible career during the early “Wild West” days of mixed martial arts. From fighting professionally at age 33 to starring alongside Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables, Randy's story is a masterclass in resilience, calculated risk-taking, and embracing the underdog mentality. Travis shares key takeaways from their conversation that apply to business, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and life. On this episode we talk about: Why setting a clear goal and reverse engineering a plan changes everything How Randy Couture used “cookie cutter” systems to accomplish major life goals Why opportunities are useless unless you're willing to walk through the door The hidden advantage of being underestimated and overlooked How to silence negative internal dialogue and regain control of your mindset Why perfectionism keeps people from ever stepping into the arena The difference between ambition as a feeling versus ambition as a system What Randy's fighting career teaches about handling pressure and public failure Why high achievement often comes with personal sacrifice The importance of presence, balance, and honesty in long-term success How Randy transitioned from UFC champion to actor and entrepreneur Why taking imperfect action is more valuable than waiting for certainty Lessons on risk-taking from a man who entered professional fighting at 33 years old The power of consistently putting yourself in rooms where opportunities exist Quotes from the Episode: “Set the goal, draw the map, and go get it.” “Doors are always going to open. Whether you walk through them is up to you.” “Thoughts are not facts. They're just noise.” “Perfectionism is a hustle that keeps you out of the arena.” “Being the underdog is not a disadvantage — it's a gift.” A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

Hosts STEPHEN SCARLATA (producer, Jodorowsky's Dune) and JOSH MILLER (writer, Sonic The Hedgehog, Violent Night) put on their headbands and head into the jungle to rescue James Cameron's original draft of FIRST BLOOD 2: THE MISSION, which Sylvester Stallone rewrote into RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2. They're joined on their mission by filmmaker HENRY DARROW MCCOMAS (Wolfman's Got Nards, The Camp Host). They also discuss First Blood author David Morrell's unique novelizations of the sequel films.Theme music by Brian J Casey

Physical media fans from the 1980s will have a lot to rejoice upon this week (if you still carry a fondness for certain films of your youth) but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have plenty from various decades to add to your library this week. They include Bob Fosse's take on a free speech icon and the recent Academy Award winner for Best International Feature. Robert Wise's legendary haunted house film and a collection of classic cartoons. There is early work from Brian DePalma plus Art Carney as a private eye and Tony Randall in six roles. Plus, Peter finally caught up with Harry Hole. But for the nostalgia fans there is also the complete set of Sylvester Stallone's troubled war hero and Kevin Costner as the famed robber of the rich. John Lithgow adopts Bigfoot, Dan Aykroyd invades John Candy's vacation and Ron Howard delivers one of the quintessential comedies about family and parenting. Horror fans can take another New Years train ride with Jamie Lee Curtis or finally watch the “real” scenes of death your parents or video store may not have let you or lent you. Finally, a look at Joe Dante's Gremlins follow-up that 40+ years later still delights and still seeks a bigger audience.1:10 - Criterion (Lenny (4K), Sentimental Value (4K))13:19 - ClassicFlix (Fleischer Cartoons: Greatest Hits, Volume 1)15:20 - Shout Factory (The Haunting (1963) (4K))23:07 - Warner Archive (The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, The Late Show)38:39 - Radiance (Hi, Mom!

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel locks itself inside Escape Plan 2: Hades — the sequel that takes the grounded prison-break concept from the original and launches it into full sci-fi action insanity.With shifting prisons, digital mind games, endless betrayals, and a whole lot of punching, Escape Plan 2 somehow manages to be both wildly confusing and incredibly entertaining.We dig into everything, including:

In this powerful episode of the What Are You Made Of? show, host Mike C-Roc sits down with world-class success coach, speaker, and #1 international best-selling author Kurek Ashley for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about resilience, mindset, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.

Kurek also reflects on his journey through Hollywood, his friendships with icons like Sylvester Stallone and John Travolta, and the mentorship that shaped his career both on and off screen. From learning discipline and vocabulary mastery to navigating auditions and scriptwriting, Kurek reveals the mindset and habits that helped him evolve from a driven young actor into an internationally recognized transformational leader.This episode is packed with wisdom on personal growth, persistence, emotional resilience, and turning adversity into fuel for a greater purpose.

Moon Valjean is back from Vegas and somehow managed to visit casinos without gambling, which honestly sounds medically impossible. Instead, he spent his trip hunting down incredible local food, debating the meaning of rice pilaf, and discovering that Vegas off-strip dining prices now require a small business loan. The gang breaks down the bizarre sociology of weekday Vegas flights, why old people apparently own the city Monday through Wednesday, and how airplane emotions hit differently when you're watching a devastating movie at 30,000 feet while trying not to cry next to strangers.Things somehow spiral — as they always do on this daily comedy show — into a full-blown debate about airport etiquette, “Jetway Jesus,” and whether families with babies should board planes first or last. There's also discussion about the horrifying reality of airplane emergency cards, weird travel behavior, and one absolutely insane story involving a man getting onto an airport runway and being sucked into a plane engine. So yeah… maybe don't snack during that segment.The crew also dives into one of the greatest weird-news stories of the year: a guy throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and immediately discovering that Hawaii does NOT play around. Enter: The Ambassador of Aloha — the unidentified local hero who allegedly beat the guy's ass so thoroughly that the entire community united to protect his identity like he's Batman in flip-flops. Federal charges, local pride, seal justice… this segment has everything.Elsewhere in the episode, the gang discusses Missouri turtle season, roadside turtle rescue etiquette, and why taking home a box turtle is apparently both illegal and a terrible life choice. Lern reveals her strange turtle friendship history, Rafe discusses leprosy armadillos, and somehow Sylvester Stallone's pet turtles from Rocky become part of the conversation because this show has fully abandoned traditional structure.Then comes the flip-flop war.A viral TikTok sparks one of the most passionate debates in recent Rizz Show history after a woman begs men to stop wearing flip-flops entirely. Rafe delivers a deeply serious anti-sandal manifesto involving combat readiness, urinal splashback, and leadership qualities during emergencies. Moon reveals he has literally never owned flip-flops because his toes “don't work like that,” and the entire room somehow turns this into an existential discussion about masculinity, footwear, and public respectability. It's exactly the kind of nonsense you expect from a daily comedy show operating on caffeine and bad decisions.And because the Internet refuses to let humanity evolve peacefully, the crew also uncovers terrifying trends like “ball maxing” and “pheromone maxing” — including teenage boys intentionally refusing to shower in hopes their natural musk will attract women. Spoiler alert: it mostly attracts concern, bacterial buildup, and intervention from family members armed with buckets of water.This episode is packed with weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, emotional airplane confessions, Vegas stories, celebrity nonsense, bizarre trends, and the exact kind of beautifully chaotic conversation that makes The Rizzuto Show your favorite daily comedy show from St. Louis.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Moon Valjean is back from Vegas and somehow managed to visit casinos without gambling, which honestly sounds medically impossible. Instead, he spent his trip hunting down incredible local food, debating the meaning of rice pilaf, and discovering that Vegas off-strip dining prices now require a small business loan. The gang breaks down the bizarre sociology of weekday Vegas flights, why old people apparently own the city Monday through Wednesday, and how airplane emotions hit differently when you're watching a devastating movie at 30,000 feet while trying not to cry next to strangers.The crew get into a full-blown debate about airport etiquette, “Jetway Jesus,” and whether families with babies should board planes first or last.

Spoiler alert: it mostly attracts concern, bacterial buildup, and intervention from family members armed with buckets of water.Chelcie Lynn joins the gang in studio ahead of her sold-out Pageant show, and somehow within minutes the conversation turns into stories about cruise ship scandals, public indecency rumors, and tiny Gene Simmons impersonators allegedly becoming legends of the sea. Honestly? That sentence still undersells how weird this episode gets.Meanwhile, the Crap on Celebrities segment absolutely refuses to behave. The crew covers musicians getting hit with flying objects during concerts, stolen Beyoncé music, celebrity confessions that should've stayed private forever, and Sharon Osbourne allegedly prioritizing dogs over humans during a house fire. Normal morning show stuff.Then things somehow get emotional when Rizz tells the tragic story of Gary the fish — including a homemade strawberry-container coffin, a backyard funeral attempt, and one very unfortunate gust of wind. RIP Gary. You deserved better than becoming airborne.Chelsea Lynn stopped by before her sold-out Loose Lips tour show and immediately exposed the glamorous reality of touring comedy life: nobody's paying $500 for venue water bottles. The gang gets into dressing room riders, expensive catering, why comedians are apparently hauling their own snacks to venues, and how Moon would absolutely exploit tour rider loopholes strictly for fresh tube socks. Which honestly? Respect.Then the show completely derails into one of the greatest games we've ever played on the show: “Nickelback, Creed, or Alice In Chains.” Sounds easy until somebody starts reading lyrics without the music and suddenly every song sounds like a divorced stepdad screaming into a Monster Energy drink at 2AM.Also: if “Look at this photograph” activated sleeper-agent memories in your brain, we sincerely apologize.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Mom Is Told Her Son Is ‘Pheromone Maxxing' After He Refused To Shower For 10 DaysThe Doctor Shortage Is Getting Worse.

Dangerous Dave heads back to 1985 for an explosive deep dive into one of the biggest action sequels of the entire decade — Rambo: First Blood Part II!From jungle warfare and massive explosions to the unforgettable rise of 80s action cinema, this episode breaks down how Sylvester Stallone transformed John Rambo from tragic war veteran into a global pop culture icon.This huge episode includes:A packed What Happened Way Back When featuring lesser-known songs, movies, and TV shows from 1985Retro Headlines from the UK and USA massive Dangerous Deep Dive into the making, cast, plot, and legacy of Rambo IIRetro Rumble: Stallone vs Arnold SchwarzeneggerObscure 80s advertsUnderrated television gemsOne Season WondersToybox Time MachineAnd a huge Danger Zone debate asking:

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

This week the Bad Dads take a pounding with The Bleeder (2016), the Liev Schreiber-led biopic of Chuck Wepner — the Bayonne brawler whose improbable 15-round fight with Muhammad Ali inspired Sylvester Stallone to write Rocky.

Send us Fan MailJay and Rhea welcome Philadelphia Inquirer sports columnist and author Mike Sielski to the show — and they're leading with a number that should terrify every sports league in America: Peacock lost $432 million in a single quarter, with cumulative losses now north of $11 billion since 2020. The gang breaks down the real culprit: younger audiences don't watch sports the way Gen X and Boomers did, and streaming kills the "channel-flipping" behavior that created casual fans in the first place. Meanwhile, NHL playoff ratings are surging on basic cable while the NBA tanks on Amazon — and nobody in power seems willing to say the quiet part out loud.THEN: Michael opened to $200 million worldwide with a 40% critic score and a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes — one of the widest gaps in movie history. Is this proof that professional film critics have completely lost the plot? The gang debates whether audiences go to biopics for journalism or for the music, why Bohemian Rhapsody set this template a decade ago, and what it means that newspapers like the Philadelphia Inquirer no longer even employ film critics.ALL THAT PLUS: Mike Sielski on why letting your subject have editorial control turns biography into whitewashing — and how he kept his independence writing about both Kobe Bryant and Sylvester Stallone. Netflix's Untold series somehow makes a University of Florida documentary that doesn't mention Aaron Hernandez. The Last Dance lets Michael Jordan take shots at a dead GM with no rebuttal.

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.

Scott Proposki spent 28 years photographing the White House, National Geographic shoots, and celebrities like Sylvester Stallone and Robin Williams. Then COVID hit, and a 28-year career disappeared in 24 hours.In this conversation we get into:What actually happens when your identity dies overnightWhy $1 million in sales paid him less than $200K soloThe 3 words from Bill Belichick that restarted his careerWhy AI is not the death of photography (or any creative business)This is not a "how I bounced back in 30 days" story.

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.

"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/

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.
