In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker remember Dolly Parton through the music, movies, philanthropy, humor, and humanity that made her one of the most beloved entertainers in American culture. The conversation touches on her early career with Porter Wagoner, the stories behind "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," the Imagination Library, Dollywood, children's literacy, and the rare kind of public affection Dolly earned across generations. JJ and Tucker also revisit Dolly Parton's work in film, including 9 to 5, Straight Talk, Rhinestone, Steel Magnolias, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and The Beverly Hillbillies. Along the way, they celebrate Jim Varney, Cloris Leachman, Dabney Coleman, Lily Tomlin, Julie Andrews, Mr. Rogers, and the question of what makes someone not just famous, but genuinely loved. 00:00 Intro: Remembering Dolly Parton 01:04 Dolly Parton's Legacy Hits Hard 01:33 Two Doors Down and Early Dolly Memories 01:48 Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner, and Jolene 03:20 I Will Always Love You and Leaving Porter Wagoner 04:00 Porter Wagoner Sues Dolly Parton 04:45 Dolly Buys Porter Wagoner's Music Catalog 05:28 Rebuilding Burned Bridges 05:58 Dolly Parton's Imagination Library 07:19 How the Imagination Library Works 08:16 Fargo Rotary and Local Imagination Library Support 09:03 Coat of Many Colors and Dolly's Message 09:21 9 to 5 and Dolly's Movie Career 09:55 Straight Talk, Radio Advice, and Southern Wisdom 10:51 Rhinestone, Sylvester Stallone, and Dolly's Kindness 11:49 Steel Magnolias and a Powerhouse Cast 12:14 Dolly Parton, COVID Vaccines, and Public Trust 12:29 Dolly in The Beverly Hillbillies Movie 13:01 Buying The Beverly Hillbillies Soundtrack 13:24 Why The Beverly Hillbillies Is a Perfect Adaptation 13:48 Cloris Leachman as Granny 14:10 Diedrich Bader, Dabney Coleman, and Lily Tomlin 15:03 Jim Varney as Jed Clampett 16:13 Could The Beverly Hillbillies Work Today? 17:25 Leah Thompson and Superhero Fan Casting 17:45 Tucker's Childhood Dolly Parton Crush 18:29 Was Dolly the Last Universally Loved Icon? 19:37 Caregiving, Health, and Dolly's Final Years 20:35 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas 22:24 Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds 22:48 Dom DeLuise, the Watchdog Report, and the Governor 23:35 Why the Musical Still Works 24:38 Dolly Was Always Ahead of Her Time 25:35 Dolly Parton Chose Not to Be a Billionaire 26:14 Dollywood and Dolly's Childhood Home 26:33 Is There Anyone Else Like Dolly? 27:18 Cher, Julie Andrews, and Cultural Warmth 29:06 The Princess Diaries and Julie Andrews' Later Career 30:07 Dolly Parton at Christmas 30:24 Dolly Parton's Songwriting and Acrylic Nails 31:06 Dolly's Magical Ability to Connect 31:36 Outro 32:14 Final Tag: Holidays at Dolly's House
Welcome back to Not A Bomb, the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: is it a bomb? This week, Troy and Brad put on their finest sleeveless denim, grease up their elbows, and enter the wonderful world of competitive arm wrestling with Sylvester Stallone's 1987 classic, Over the Top. And for this very special episode, the guys are joined by first-time guest, Katie from the Retromade Podcast!Over the Top is the story of Lincoln Hawk, a down-on-his-luck truck driver and professional arm wrestler who is trying to reconnect with his estranged son while traveling across the country toward the World Armwrestling Championship. It's a movie about fathers and sons, second chances, truck driving, arm wrestling, and the important lesson that apparently all you need to turn your life around is a strategically placed hat and approximately eight ounces of baby oil.Troy, Brad, and Katie dig into the gloriously ridiculous premise, the surprisingly heartfelt father-son story, and Stallone's unique ability to make absolutely everything look like a life-or-death struggle. In Over the Top, a truck isn't just a truck. It's freedom. An arm wrestle isn't just an arm wrestle. It's destiny. And flipping your baseball cap backward isn't just a fashion choice. It's apparently a legally binding declaration that you are about to become the greatest arm wrestler who has ever lived.Want to help support the show?

If a movie was ever made for the Born to Watch treatment, this is it. In our Rambo III 1988 Review, Whitey is joined by two certified '80s action tragics, Bones and DJ Glazby, to revisit Sylvester Stallone at his biggest, most shredded and possibly most ridiculous. The Russians are back, Colonel Trautman needs rescuing, Afghanistan is the battlefield, and John J. Rambo is about to discover that retirement is apparently not an option.For Whitey, Rambo isn't simply another action franchise. John J. Rambo has basically been part of his movie-watching life forever, and Rambo III was the first instalment he saw on the big screen. Bones and Glaz have similar credentials, with all three admitting they've probably watched these movies more than 100 times. That level of unhealthy familiarity can only mean one thing: two hours of remembering lines, picking apart scenes and asking questions nobody involved in the production ever expected anyone to ask.Released in 1988, Rambo III takes everything from the previous film and turns the dial past eleven. Bigger budget. Bigger explosions. Bigger weapons. Bigger muscles. Bigger hair. Stallone is in absolutely outrageous condition, sporting a physique that sends the boys down several completely unnecessary conversational rabbit holes.The story begins with Rambo attempting to live a peaceful life in Thailand before Colonel Trautman arrives asking for help with a mission into Afghanistan. Rambo declines, Trautman heads off without him and promptly gets himself captured. Naturally, Rambo changes his mind and goes after his old mate.Simple.What follows is peak late-'80s action excess.The boys dive into Rambo's magnificent opening stick fight, that red headband, the suspiciously dangerous spectator arrangements and the logistical nightmare of figuring out who exactly everyone is betting on. There are questions about the ridiculous staircase Trautman climbs to find Rambo, Rambo's magnificent 1988 hair and whether Colonel Trautman might be one of the oldest soldiers ever voluntarily sent behind enemy lines.Then there's Stallone himself.Rambo talks considerably more this time around, although nobody is going to mistake him for Shakespeare, and the boys discuss whether Sly knew exactly what sort of movie he was making or genuinely believed there was something much more profound buried underneath all those explosions.One thing everyone can agree on is that the practical action still looks fantastic.Real explosions, squibs, stunt work, enormous military hardware and physical effects give Rambo III a weight that many modern CGI-heavy action movies struggle to recreate. The cave sequence in particular gets plenty of love, with Whitey arguing that Rambo hunting enemies through the darkness is exactly where the character is at his best. Even the sound of Rambo firing an arrow gets nominated as one of cinema's great instantly recognisable noises.There's also plenty of behind-the-scenes madness. The film carried an enormous budget for its time, went through a director change early in production and ultimately became one of the biggest action productions of its era. Somehow, the Razzies still came calling, something the boys have very strong opinions about.Because this is Born to Watch, Rambo III also leads us into the wider Rambo universe. The boys attempt to rank the entire franchise, debate First Blood versus the increasingly outrageous sequels, revisit Rambo II and discuss where Rambo III belongs among Stallone's greatest action achievements.And then comes the most important question.Does Rambo III still work?It's too long. It's incredibly stupid in places. Its politics have aged in fascinating ways. Colonel Trautman may be surprisingly useless. But when Stallone picks up the bow, the explosions start, and that glorious Jerry Goldsmith score kicks into gear, none of that seems to matter quite as much.This is Born to Watch, The Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies, or ourselves, too seriously.Strap yourself in, tighten the headband and prepare for peak Stallone.Rambo III is back.#RamboIII #Rambo #SylvesterStallone #80sMovies #80sAction #ActionMovies #MovieReview #BornToWatch #MoviePodcast #Stallone

In our summer series continuing with The Swans, we take a little journey this week into an adjacent story. Our focus this week is the beloved daughter of C.Z. Guest, Cornelia Guest. Cornelia was a whole entire scene in the 1980s, being the first celebutante. Bob Colacello writes all about Cornelia in 1988 in a delicious piece titled “A Deb Goes West” for Vanity Fair. Cornelia cannot get enough of Hollywood at this time with a new hair color and a new boyfriend too, Sylvester Stallone. The spiderwebs in this one are too many to count!

Five years ago, producer & host George Sirois released a five-part miniseries on this show, celebrating the 35th anniversary of TransFormers: The Movie. This week on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, George has re-launched the third part of the miniseries to celebrate the 40th anniversary and upcoming re-release of the film. "Heaven Only Knows What You Might Find" features composer Vince DiCola telling about how his work on the music of Rocky IV led to him becoming a part of Hasbro History. PRODUCER'S NOTES: This episode was the second appearance for Vince DiCola on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity. The first one took place a year before, when he shared stories of how he started his journey as a musician, how working with Frank Stallone on the Sylvester Stallone-directed Staying Alive led to him co-writing the hit song "Far from Over," and how he would blow Stallone's mind with his demo recording of "Training Montage" and get the job composing the score to Rocky IV. This week's conversation acts as a Part 2 of an interview duology. Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.If you agree that the Excelsior Journeys podcast serves a positive purpose and would like to show your appreciation, you can give back to the show by clicking HERE.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity is now a proud member of the Podmatch Podcast Network, and you can access all shows in the network by clicking HERE.

Antes de convertirse en leyendas de Hollywood, algunos de los actores más famosos del cine tuvieron que sobrevivir a la pobreza, trabajos inesperados y decisiones que pudieron terminar con sus carreras. En este episodio de Trollywood hablamos de Sylvester Stallone y la increíble apuesta que hizo para protagonizar Rocky; Harrison Ford y cómo trabajar como carpintero terminó acercándolo a Han Solo; Ken Jeong dejando atrás una carrera como médico para dedicarse a la comedia; Jim Carrey sobreviviendo a una infancia marcada por la pobreza; Steve Buscemi trabajando como bombero antes de triunfar como actor; y Marilyn Monroe, cuya llegada a Hollywood estuvo marcada por sacrificios personales mucho más grandes de lo que su imagen de estrella dejaba ver.Este episodio también es muy especial para nosotros: después de cuatro años grabando Trollywood desde Nuup Estudio, hoy nos toca despedirnos de este espacio que fue nuestra casa durante una etapa enorme del podcast. Nos vamos con muchísimo cariño, agradecimiento y recuerdos de todo lo que vivimos aquí. ❤️ ¿Cuál de estas historias de superación en Hollywood te sorprendió más?

This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. Like a bizarro Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone parlayed two iconic roles into a decades-long career as a movie star and filmmaker, restauranteur, and conservative hero - only he's short and a lousy director. In 2019, Stallone put his crusading 'Nam vet character out to pasture with RAMBO: LAST BLOOD, a half-assed UNFORGIVEN riff that finds Rambo going up against some rightwing fever-dream "Mexican" human traffickers. Beyond featuring almost zero Mexicans, the film also features zero Mexico: it was largely shot in Bulgaria. Bulgaria's rise as a filmmaking hotspot is thanks in large part to the success of Stallone's Expendables franchise, which allowed production company Millennium Films to turn Sofia's Nu Boyana Film Studios into a one-stop offshoring shop for Hollywood. Joining us to discuss his experience working on this film (!) and the state of the Bulgarian film industry is filmmaker and co-host of the Cinema Strolls podcast Roman Pessarov! We also take a look at the Rambo series as a whole, being a cinephile outside of the US, and learn that even former Soviet dads are ultimately a lot like other dads. GREAT ep, check it out!

Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy - Classic Rock One Hit Wonders, Volume 2Jason Gore and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock return to the classic rock morgue for another examination of the songs that radio refused to let die.But what exactly makes a classic rock one-hit wonder? A song does not necessarily have to dominate the Billboard charts. Sometimes one regional program director simply decides that “Never Been Any Reason” needs to play three times a week until the end of civilization.Jason and Geoff investigate the regional-radio mystery of Head East, the yodeling and whistling science behind Focus, and why every classic rock station needed songs long enough for the DJ to leave the studio and take a dump.They also uncover the interconnected musical universe of Jim Peterik, connecting The Ides of March's “Vehicle” to Survivor, 38 Special, Sammy Hagar and enough Sylvester Stallone montage music to power an entire training facility.Plus: Pete Townshend secretly joins Thunderclap Newman as Bijou Drains, Pilot's “Magic” is permanently converted into an Ozempic commercial, The Knack gives us Weird Al Yankovic, Sugarloaf demands that you stop calling them, Manfred Mann remains responsible for Bruce Springsteen's only number-one songwriting hit, and Free inspires the cheapest crematorium in Val Verde.Most importantly, the episode produces two future Hawk institutions: Morgenson's Crematorium and legendary afternoon radio personality Stanch McTuckens.Support 108.9 The HawkJoin the Patreon for bonus episodes, playlists and more Hawk Rock Talk:patreon.com/1089thehawkHawk Rock Summer is winding down, but Series Seven of 108.9 The Hawk begins Monday, August 17th.Tell your friends.

Gustavo vuelve a arrebatar con el “patriarcado”. Cuando is de las lesbianas quiere tener más testosterona que Sylvester Stallone y hasta boxers usa en vez de un gistro al revés.Y mientras La Maldad sigue experimentando la paz en el desierto, se suscita un caso de una dama quien publica en las redes sociales la posibilidad de que su ex pareja sea acusado de pedofilia. Publicación que trae unas consecuencias lamentables.Y sale en una página web de bienes raíces en Puerto Rico una casa común para la venta en el pueblo de Rincon por casi un millón de dólares y todo se preguntan cuál es el criterio para ese precio.Y lo más reciente de Chris Nolan, The Odyssey, tuvo un buen comienzo en la taquilla en su primera semana. Pero catalogado cómo una de las películas “woke” del año, la pregunta será la siguiente. ¿Podrá esta película hacer break even?Y por alguna razón, terminamos hablando de Batman en la era de Knightfall contra Bane.

Sal shares that he ran his first mile this morning for the first time in years and how humbling it was. They also get into the story behind Sylvester Stallone writing Rocky in three days with $100 in his bank account after watching Chuck Wepner vs Muhammad Ali, Italian dialects and how Mussolini unified them, the cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak in US lettuce, the liver die-off effect and why people feel worse before they feel better when treating parasites, the GATE gifted program conspiracy theory and the Mall World dream phenomenon, and Joymode's Hard Plus compounds and what the studies show. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Kelly from Texas on anterior pelvic tilt and glute activation six months postpartum, Nicky from Ontario on a 90-day check-in showing dramatic mood, libido and energy improvements after anorexia recovery coaching, Jeremy from Indiana on physique competition prep strategy at 51, and Amanda from Indiana navigating the GLP-1 off-ramp and reverse diet while managing binge tendencies.

New Orleans is just cool, man. The only thing cooler might be Sylvester Stallone. Put that man in the bayou or the French Quarter and you've got our attention! 2012's Bullet to the Head feels like it should have been a hit, but somehow it fell through the cracks! Now we get to cover it on B-ACTION! Walter Hill brings his signature style to this one with tons of brutality and conflict. Jason Momoa makes an early career appearance as a reckless mercenary and doesn't get the screen time he deserves. Speaking of which, a wild Christian Slater was sighted! With a banging soundtrack to pull it all together, we can “laissez les bons temps rouler”! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!
In this episode, the first part of our Action Solstice where we spent the entire month talking about 80s buddy cop movies is coming to an end. And in that spirit we are ending the series with literally the last action movie of the 80s, released on Christmas 1989, Tango & Cash. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many trials and tribulations the production of this movie faced, how it was an illustration of changing tides that saw off the era of muscle-bound action heroes and how it remains for many viewers a formative nostalgic experience. We also talk about the chemistry between Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, the 80s excess taken to extremes, prison breaks in the rain, hyperventilating Jack Palance and much more!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Hillary WhiteHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

Is Over the Top really the cheesy '80s guilty pleasure everyone says it is... or has this Sylvester Stallone classic been misunderstood for decades?In this episode of Video Villa Podcast, we're taking another look at Stallone's arm-wrestling drama and asking whether Over the Top deserves far more respect than it usually gets. Beneath the trucker hats, over-the-top montages, and larger-than-life arm wrestling matches is a surprisingly heartfelt story about redemption, fatherhood, and second chances.Join us as we break down what works, what doesn't, and why this forgotten Stallone film has become a favorite among fans who are willing to look beyond its reputation.Follow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/video_villa_entertainmentTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@videovillaentmtFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/p/Video-Villa-Entertainment-Podcast-100086204155260/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VideoVillaEntertainmentWebsite: https://www.videovillaentertainment.com
Today Matt & Todd return to the HBO classics of our early days with 1981's Victory (also known as Escape to Victory).Before soccer was a mainstream American pastime, before the FIFA movie, HBO introduced many of us to a strange, earnest, unexpectedly thrilling hybrid: a World War II prison‑camp adventure mashed together with 30 minutes of genuinely great football choreography. The film was released in theaters but did not perform well, and didn't enjoy a wide release. Some sleepy HBO Saturday is probably the first time a lot of us saw this film.Released in the summer of 1981, Victory tells the story of Allied POWs challenged to a football match staged for Nazi propaganda. Despite its star power, Sylvester Stallone is here in full “I can do anything” mode, the film landed softly in the U.S. but resonated strongly in Europe and South America, where the sport and its legends were already cultural monoliths.And that's the secret weapon: Pelé.The Brazilian megastar (and Whit Bissell co‑winner) choreographed the on‑field action, designing plays and sequences executed by real professional players cast as POWs and German guards. The result is a thrilling, authentic stretch of football cinema that still holds up—fast, clever, and caps an unforgettable ending.Victory is also a remake of the 1961 Hungarian film Two Half‑Times in Hell, itself inspired by disputed accounts of real matches played in occupied Ukraine between former Dynamo and Lokomotiv Kiev players and their Nazi overseers. The details vary, but the myth endures: sport as resistance, pride, and survival.Forgotten by many in the U.S., Victory remains a fantastic film worth revisiting, especially now that soccer has finally found its footing here and we're still close to a world cup hangover. Much like the sport itself, you may discover it's actually pretty great.Main Cast: Sylvester Stallone as Captain Robert Hatch Michael Caine as Captain John Colby Whit Bissell Award Winner Pelé as Corporal Luis Fernandez Max von Sydow as Major Karl von Steiner Gary Waldhorn as Hauptmann Rainer Mueller, German coach Tim Pigott-Smith as Major Rose Julian Curry as Wing Commander Shurlock Whit Bissell Award Winner Anton Differing as CommentatorThe PlayersVictory's thrilling footlball moments brought by a long list of international pros listed here (by country of birth):(Argentina)Osvaldo Ardiles (Allied Player)(Belgium)Paul Van Himst (Allied Player)(Brazil)Pelé (Allied Player)(Denmark)Søren Lindsted (Allied Player)(England)Michael Caine (Allied Player)Bobby Moore (Allied Player)Mike Summerbee (Allied Player)Russell Osman (Allied Player)Mike Summerbee (Allied Player) Robin Turner (German Player)Laurence Sivell (German Player)(Hungary)Sándor Egervári (German Player)Ferenc Fülöp (German Player)Imre Boda (German Player)(Ireland)Kevin O'Callaghan(Netherlands)Co Prins (Allied Player)(Norway)Hallvar Thoresen (Allied Player)(Poland)Kazimierz Deyna (Allied Player)(Scotland)John Wark (Allied Player)(USA)Sylvester Stallone (Allied Player)Werner Roth (German Player)_____________Matt has over 100+ lists for movie suggestions on LetterboxdYou can reach out on Bluesky: @MovieMattSirois Terrible movies often find him, even under under the alias Marcus at Movie Asylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful.Follow who we follow at the Once Upon a Geek and TheFade Out Podcasts
Take 241: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 2The Peter Weir years. Jonathan and JP dig into the two-film stretch that makes the strongest case for Harrison Ford as a serious actor — and the one that proves audiences weren't ready to follow him there.First, Witness. The film every major studio passed on, that John Badham dismissed as "just another cop movie," that Sylvester Stallone turned down and later called one of the worst decisions of his career. The film that got Ford his only Oscar nomination, that Roger Ebert called a thriller Hitchcock would have been proud of, and that Peter Weir shot with the same cinematographer, composer, and editor he'd bring to the very next film. The barn-raising sequence. The dance to Wonderful World. The final porch scene with no dialogue at all. The big question: is this the best performance Ford ever gave?Then The Mosquito Coast. The film Weir had been trying to make since 1981, the one Jack Nicholson left over salary, the one Paul Schrader wrote, the one River Phoenix made at 15 years old before Stand By Me had even come out. Ford playing Allie Fox — brilliant, volatile, increasingly unhinged, dragging his family into the jungle on the conviction that America is finished and he can build something better from scratch. A character so far from Han Solo and John Book that audiences simply didn't show up. $14.3 million on a $25 million budget. Zero Oscar nominations. A genuine financial disaster.And underneath both films, the same question: Weir and Ford missed the Witness Oscar ceremony because they were already in Belize shooting Mosquito Coast. The film they skipped the ceremony for then flopped. Ford went back toward safer, more commercial roles. Indiana Jones. Patriot Games. The rest of the career we all know.Did the failure of Mosquito Coast close a door? And if audiences had embraced it — what kind of actor does Harrison Ford become?
This week, we're joined by Davide Mutendji of Elevation Rhythm, whose new album WASHED just dropped. He tells us about the heart behind the project and how Drake became a surprising inspiration for the worship group.In RELEVANT Buzz, the trailer for ‘I Play Rocky' arrived, and it sent us down a rabbit hole into Sylvester Stallone's faith journey — including a conversation where he calls out Christians who think they can skip church. (Rocky would never!) We also dig into a new study finding only one in three young adults are dating even though nearly all of them want to get married (the reasons are bleak). And with the new season of ‘Quarterback' out on Netflix, we look at Baker Mayfield's road from college wild child to a real-deal faith story.In Slices, a school district in New York is putting a humanoid robot named in classrooms, and Jesse loves it. And Derek shows us the clip of the grandpa getting flipped by a bison this week.

Rex Linn on Unsolved Mysteries, Westerns, Stallone, Cusack & His Dream Role In this funny, loose, and unexpectedly heartfelt episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza sits down with legendary character actor Rex Linn for a conversation packed with old-school Hollywood stories, career turning points, and the kind of behind-the-scenes chaos that only comes from decades in the business. Rex opens up about his earliest acting job recreating a real-life bank robber for Unsolved Mysteries, the surreal audition journey that landed him Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone, and why that movie changed his life in more ways than one. The episode also dives into Rex's love of Westerns, his admiration for The Jack Bull, his memories of John Cusack, Mark Rolston, Kurt Russell, John Lithgow, Adam West, and Bob Dylan, plus hilarious stories from Rush Hour, Zodiac, Wyatt Earp, Lethal Weapon, and the gloriously absurd Zombeavers. Along the way, Rex reflects on heartbreak, emotional recall, friendship in the film business, and his lifelong dream of somehow, some way, getting to play the Wolfman. Guest Info Rex Linn is an American film and television actor best known for a long-running career filled with standout supporting and character roles. He is widely recognized for projects including CSI: Miami, Cliffhanger, Rush Hour, Better Call Saul, and more recently Happy's Place.

The Summer of Sequels continues as The Nomads of Fantasy step back into the ring with Rocky II! After Rocky Balboa goes the distance with Apollo Creed, can lightning strike twice? We discuss how Rocky II builds upon the original by expanding Rocky and Adrian's relationship, raising the emotional stakes, and delivering one of the most satisfying rematches in movie history.We also talk about Sylvester Stallone's growth as a filmmaker, the iconic training montages, and why Rocky II succeeds by understanding that it's not just a boxing movie—it's a story about heart, perseverance, and finding out what you're fighting for. Yo, Adrian... we did it!Still around to the end of the conversation for a round of Movie 20 Questions!Safe travels, nomads.

Happy International Lonely Guy Friday! Live from Greece, with questionable internet, background noise, a Greek-speaking Athena, and Zorba taking entirely too long to kick in. Today we get into how European culture prioritizes living while American culture prioritizes working, and why accepting who you are may matter more. We talk about how DJs, Greek music, Springsteen, and even repetitive algorithms can place us into emotional and almost hypnotic states. We also get into how a conversation with a privileged 25-year-old critic of America became a lesson in capitalism, gratitude, fathers, responsibility, and remembering who still pays half the bills. Plus, how America may be deeply flawed while also possessing traditions of generosity, charity, humane treatment, tipping, and helping strangers that travelers often witness firsthand. Kev also discusses how empathy for younger generations does not require endorsing entitlement, hatred or burning down systems and how parents may finally be learning to limit screens and more. Also, understanding a difficult father does not require accepting abuse, but may require admitting that imperfect parents were often loving as well as they knew how. Kev talks about how Sylvester Stallone continues living the Rocky story, turning obstacles, rejection, and lost ownership into yet another achievement at nearly 80 and how the barriers blocking your path may ultimately create the story only you could tell. Then, how cognitive decline affects entire families, with love and prayers for Bob Backlund. Plus, the ultimate RGF houseguest rule: when visiting someone's home how to make them cry when you leave, not celebrate your departure.Yasu, efcharistó, Bye Betches!

Some mornings you wake up expecting another normal daily comedy show.Then the building catches everyone's attention with a fire alarm, Rizz refuses to evacuate because apparently radio hosts go down with the ship, and somehow the conversation spirals into MySpace, CDs making a comeback, William Shatner becoming a metal frontman at 95, and why nobody under 25 knows who Hole is anymore.Just another Tuesday.This episode starts with excitement surrounding the upcoming Super Troopers 3 as the Broken Lizard crew prepares to visit the studio, giving everyone an excuse to geek out over one of the greatest comedy franchises ever made. Before they arrive, the crew jumps into Crap on Celebrities, where nostalgia absolutely takes over.Could MySpace actually deserve more respect than it gets? Turns out the platform helped launch artists like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Adele, and even Dane Cook before social media became the attention economy we know today. That naturally leads into everyone's embarrassing MySpace memories, Top 8 drama, party bulletins, and the strange realization that we all willingly learned HTML just to put terrible music on our profiles.Speaking of things nobody expected to return...CDs are suddenly making a comeback. Yes... actual compact discs. The crew debates whether anyone even owns a CD player anymore, whether physical media still matters, and whether younger generations are rediscovering something older fans never completely gave up on. It's part nostalgia, part technology debate, and part excuse for Moon to become the resident audio nerd.Then things somehow become even stranger.William Shatner is officially performing heavy metal songs at Riot Fest... at ninety-five years old.The conversation somehow makes perfect sense.Elsewhere in celebrity news:• The Batman Part II gets delayed again.• A new Rocky movie about Sylvester Stallone fighting to play himself looks surprisingly incredible.• Paris Jackson earns praise for covering Blind Melon's "No Rain."• Alec Baldwin accidentally makes another tribute about... Alec Baldwin.• The Grateful Dead release a massive 20-CD collection because apparently CDs aren't dead after all.• Hole returns to social media, prompting an entire debate over whether younger music fans even know who Courtney Love's band was.Along the way, the crew shares ridiculous observations, roasts each other relentlessly, argues over music, remembers forgotten internet history, and proves once again why no topic stays on the rails for very long.That's exactly why this daily comedy show continues to be the easiest way to stay caught up on celebrity news, weird stories, pop culture, and conversations that somehow go from MySpace coding to William Shatner screaming heavy metal in less than ten minutes.If you enjoy sarcastic humor, entertainment news, nostalgic pop culture rabbit holes, and a group of friends who rarely let facts get in the way of a good joke, this episode has everything you need from your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear 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.

All that, plus a heated take on a Stanley Cup name-plate snub and the priciest piece of Knicks memorabilia ever sold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
A mega-successful Hollywood producer. A popular star ready for his first big lead role. A respected actor one year away from an iconic sitcom role. A singer turned actor enjoying the height of her sex symbol status. Another actress just a few years away from becoming one of the industry's all-time biggest sex symbols. And explosions. Lots and lots of explosions. Put them all together, and you got a stew going, baby! This year's "Summer Surprise," in which we let an online randomizer pick our movies for us, kicks off with Action Jackson, an 80s blaxploitation riff from mega action producer Joel Silver, and starring the late, great Carl Weathers. The film was meant to finally catapult Weathers into the same above-the-title megastar status as his famed co-stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Silver brought along a bunch of cast and crew from his other recent efforts to help make it happen. So, what happened? Why are there multiple Lethal Weapon's, Die Hard's, and Predator's, but only one Action Jackson? We try to figure it out, while jumping out of the way of the sports car barreling down our hallway. Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd
Gianni Versace was a runway iconoclast who outfitted the likes of Madonna, Demi Moore, Prince, Sylvester Stallone, and Don Johnson. He lived like Louis XIV and counted Princess Di and Elton John among his friends. He was plagued by rumors of ties to the Calabrian mafia and a secret health diagnosis. Those rumors continued to persist long after he was gunned down by a serial killer who had been on the lam after murdering four other men in three states.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In World War II, a group of NAZI officers come up with a propaganda event in which an all-star NAZI team will play a team composed of Allied POW's in a soccer (football) game. The prisoners agree, planning on using the game as a means of escape from the camp. Directed by the legendary Oscar-winner John Huston (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, Prizzi's Honor) late in his career, this sports drama is lead by Oscar-winner Sylvester Stallone, Oscar-winner Michael Caine, Oscar-nominated Max von Sydow, and the late, great professional football LEGEND Pele. :) Just in time for the last round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup....NOW is the time for heroes.

On this week's episode, we discuss Seth Rogen's slanderous take on Sylvester Stallone and his thoughts on criticism more broadly. Then we reviewed Minions and Monsters, which is basically “Babylon with less cocaine and more little yellow guys.” Swing by our Substack on Thursday for a bonus episode on the silent era's best movies for kids.

Hollywood giant John Huston directs Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone and – wait – Pelé, in this sports-war drama, reimagining the 1942 “Death Match”. But how bad can a prisoner of war camp be when all you have to do is dick around playing football? How solid is the history? And can you really do that with a sub? Learn more about your ad choices.

Message Dan and MikeRocky turns 50 this December, and Sylvester Stallone just turned 80 — so we're marking both with our very first Stallone review. A broke, unknown actor with bit parts in mob films turned down nearly $400,000 from the studio, wrote the script in three days, and sold his own dog to make the one movie he refused to let anyone else star in.We get into the guerrilla filmmaking behind it: a budget under a million dollars, a 28-day shoot, no permits, tarps hauled in to fake the Philadelphia skyline in New York, and a training montage stitched together from footage grabbed wherever they could get it. We talk about the producers mortgaging their homes to finish the film, the choreographers who walked off over how the fights were staged, and Stallone ultimately taking the choreography credit himself. We also cover the film's two Godfather connections through Talia Shire and Joe Spinell, the legacy of Burgess Meredith, Carl Weathers, and Burt Young, and how Rocky beat out a stacked 1976 Best Picture field that included Taxi Driver, Network, and All the President's Men.Whether you've seen Rocky fifty times or somehow never seen it, we make the case for why it still holds up as one of the most complete films ever made. Come for the trivia, stay for the argument about whether this is truly a perfect movie.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

Yo, Adrian! It's been 50 years since Sylvester Stallone landed a knockout punch with “Rocky,” a low-budget movie about a down-on-his-luck boxer named Rocky Balboa. More than an underdog story, though, “Rocky” ended up being a sports drama, a love story, and the film that launched a franchise. But what was Sylvester Stallone's own underdog story in getting his “Rocky” script onto the big screen? What are some behind-the-scenes stories told by the lead actors? How were certain key scenes affected by the film's low budget? And how was the Steadicam, new technology in 1976, used to make an “immeasurable” impact on the movie? We discuss all this and more in this fun podcast that will have you humming “Gonna Fly Now” as you head off to face your day. How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review, and subscribe!
