Hello and welcome to the we Recommend podcast, a movie podcast where every week, we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse, I'm Jason. There's one thing I want you to do for me.
Speaker 2:What's that?
Speaker 1:Win. Win, because this week we recommend Rocky 2. Man, does that not get you going?
Speaker 2:when you hear that song, the music is good.
Speaker 1:I love the music. He's just fucking like training.
Speaker 2:He's like I gotta train. I don't know, but it takes an hour and a half to get there. Yeah. Oh man Although recapping the fight with Apollo. In the beginning I thought it was a great idea.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because I forgot everything.
Speaker 1:All of it Pissed off. You should never forget Rocky.
Speaker 2:They're like when they're filming it, they're like we need something to eat up a lot of time.
Speaker 1:Let's just play the last part of the last movie first, and guess what they do, that in the third Rocky as well they do it in all of them essentially. Well, the third Rocky. You get the end of the fight and then it goes into a montage of him just defending his title Go ahead. So I mean, did you like this movie?
Speaker 2:It was fine. Damn dude it was fine, I but. So I mean, did you like this movie?
Speaker 1:it's fine damn dude, I think the Rocky movies aren't your bag. I know, I guess not like I. Just I literally like tear up at the end of this movie.
Speaker 2:There's just so much not punching. Yeah, I love those parts.
Speaker 1:it's it you gotta emotionally invest yourself into the fight. Is he just too silly for you.
Speaker 2:No, there were some really silly parts that I really like. When he's being chased around Philadelphia by all the children he's like jumping over park benches and stuff.
Speaker 1:Bro, I can't wait to get to some facts because that stuff happened, like muhammad ali, like when he run through new york, like kids would just start following him to run with them and stuff. Yeah this movie's accurate bro, this is an accurate movie, so I was curious. So we we haven't done too many sports films. It's essentially the rockies which are like my favorite sports movies. But uh, what do you look for in a sports film? I know you're not a sport boy, but I'm not a sports ballman, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I guess Basically the plot of Bad News Bears yeah Versus a bunch of goofy ass kids with a terrible coach.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Who's an alcoholic?
Speaker 1:But in the end they win.
Speaker 2:They win in the end with some crazy trick play.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you're just like you need some. You need the sports to be like heavy into the movie.
Speaker 2:I mean not always, I just wasn't interested in Rocky's life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that much I like, so you know know the first one. It's about like this down down on his luck boxer that never made it and then he just got this random one chance and luckily it's a rocky's a guy who can just take so many punches the shit kicked out of him so hard that everyone loves it well, he, it doesn't matter to him because he ain't got no brains anyway.
Speaker 2:So he does not, can't even read no, no, that part was kind of nice, watching him learn how to read. Sitting there watching this with my wife, she was like why does he sound so stupid? I'm like, oh, because he doesn't know how to read.
Speaker 1:He only got to the ninth grade.
Speaker 2:I mean he shouldn't have gotten past. My daughter is six. Yeah, she's grade. I mean you shouldn't have gotten past.
Speaker 1:My daughter is six, yeah, as she's in the first grade. Yeah, she learned how to read. I just assume he comes from a poor family. They didn't care if he went to school or paid attention. I guess, yeah, I guess they probably just worked on the docks, or whatever.
Speaker 2:The teacher just taught him how to smoke instead.
Speaker 1:Of yeah, he's a fighter. He can't smoke. He definitely smoked as a kid, though. Well, like for me, with a sports movies like I kind of like this you got to really set up like the character and you got to get them to the fight, right yeah, and I love the shit between him and Adrian. They're so sweet and charming together it was.
Speaker 2:I did find it charming and sweet.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I just I don't know, just like, and it was interesting that he's. He's a boxer and but his first two fights are world championship bouts.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, his first like because he, he did have uh fights before, like in the first movie. They talk about his record and stuff. Oh okay, he just never, he wouldn't win sometimes he just didn't have a proper trainer.
Speaker 2:He would just walk around the ring with his hands down getting punched in the face.
Speaker 1:The corner is like what are you doing?
Speaker 1:Put your hands up Um no but I love how the first movie it's like he finally got the chance to a big fight and he lost. But it was great. He yeah, it was an awesome fight. Paul Creed rules, but his best fight of his career. His career was at the end of his career and he's like damn, I don't even work anymore, I want to done time to retire. And so he spent his whole life trying to do this one thing, but never thinking about what he would do after his fighting career. And he's like, oh wait, I'm an idiot, I don't, I can't do anything but physical labor, I'm going to go pack meat. It's like I just thought it was endearing that. He's like, oh well, now I'm this big boxer, people will want to hire me for this like office job. And he's like, hey, dude, no, I'm sorry. Like it's cool that you box but you should just fight more.
Speaker 1:Completely punched out of you, it's like can you just keep fighting till you die, because that's what you should do yeah, yeah, and I guess that's that's a good point.
Speaker 2:Like he, he didn't know, really had no direction in life. And like he's, even though he fought the world champ, he's still like, well, now I could go get a normal job and then and then he like quickly realizes it's like oh man, people kind of forget about you pretty quickly. And you make a lot of money. Yeah, punching.
Speaker 1:And it's crazy, he only made like $30,000 from that, which is and he's like, oh, I can buy a house, a car, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean back in the 60s, I guess you could.
Speaker 1:And then it's like, oh wait, oh, that ran out fast and I kind of love this movie. Like he's fighting, not because like he's like it's not because in this movie, because he's like I'm a man, I gotta fight. It's like all about I have to take care of my wife and kids now.
Speaker 2:yeah, that's really sweet and it's like sweet should have just punched Adrian right out of that coma. Yeah, and he becomes a doctor. He prayed it away.
Speaker 1:She was like I cannot keep hearing you read poetry to me. I have got to wake up and let you fight.
Speaker 2:She's just like wakes up. She's like oh, that's terrible, Stop, Stop, dude Stop.
Speaker 1:I don't even want to look at the paper. There's probably so many grammatical issues.
Speaker 2:They just hire him to wake up people out of COVID? Yeah, that would be amazing.
Speaker 1:That would be awesome. He's got pathways, no, but you know like? Did you like it more than Rocky one though? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, okay, I would assume.
Speaker 2:So it's a little bit like they had more of a budget and it's a little snappier and I liked he had a lot better costumes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like the fucking jacket with a tiger. It's like of course he got it.
Speaker 1:He proposed in front of a tiger, by the way, maybe like the best place to propose ever. You want to marry me, or something. It's like oh, you want to like maybe marry me or something, but I mean, oh you want to like maybe marry me or something.
Speaker 2:But I mean, dude, you don't, I'll feed you to this tiger. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1:Like usually when you go to the zoo the tigers always are like hiding, Like if you're going to a zoo with a tiger like you never really see him. You can see him, like behind some like bushes, Like oh, I see the stripes a little bit.
Speaker 2:Rocky probably smells like meat all the time.
Speaker 1:Rocky is like rocky probably smells like meat all the time. He was just like it's like oh, the tiger's out, this is a good place to propose. His mouth is watering. And then you know, because he's like such a sentimental guy that he saw that, he saw that jacket with the tiger on. It was like, yes, holy crap, dude.
Speaker 2:That's the way I feel every time I see a night wolf. Yeah on anything, yeah like that is true.
Speaker 1:That's why you're wearing a shirt with a giant moon on it, with a wolf howling at it, you know and that's all I ever see you wear.
Speaker 1:Just kidding, he's enough tonight, today. Well, we'll hop into some facts, because and they're not really like like in-depth behind the scenes stuff, but it's essentially Muhammad Ali talking about this movie oh shit stuff. But it's essentially muhammad ali talking about this movie, oh shit. So you know, like when rocky spars in the gym, uh, at mickey's gym, and you got that guy, he's like you gotta get faster rock. And you have that one guy who's just like bouncing around, like tapping his head, and he can't catch him. So that was a real boxer. Nice, yeah, he's like a boxing champion um, robert, roberto duran, um, and and Roberto Duran.
Speaker 1:And in 1979, muhammad Ali sat down with film critic Roger Ebert to watch Rocky II and commented on the scene. He said what you see here, if you know how to look, for Ali explained is the difference between real fighters and actors. A real boxer can see Stallone's not a boxer, he's not a professional, doesn't have the moves. It's good acting, but it's not boxing. Look in the background, look at the guy in the red trunks back there, roberto Duran. You can see he's a real fire, a real fighter.
Speaker 2:Hey Roger's like, hey Ali, you can't eat popcorn with gloves on.
Speaker 1:Just punches him, shut up I don't actually know how Muhammad Ali you can't eat popcorn with gloves on man Just punches him, shoot him. I don't actually know how Muhammad Ali speaks, but he continued. Stallone doesn't have the moves, it's perfect acting. Though Ali commented about the training scene, the regular average layman couldn't see what I see, and the way they're painting the trainer is all wrong. Look at him there screaming do this and do that. I never had anyone telling me what to do. I did it. Shouting at the fighter like that makes him look like an animal, like a horse to be trained. So I guess the way mickey's like yelling at him. That's not. It's not how ali got trained. Yeah, he's like stop yelling at me like ali would have just killed you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you did that to him yeah and um, so I guess a little bit more more. The article kind of continues to go on. So if Rocky ran like the actual route that he takes, it's a 30, 30 miles around that he'd be running. So definitely probably not what he actually ran in the movie, but maybe I mean he'd train a lot.
Speaker 2:You know that reminded me of that movie where they let everyone try out for the NFL team and that one guy did it and he just went on two runs and he's like I'm ready. Wait, say that again. What was the movie where everyone wanted to try out for the Jets or something?
Speaker 1:Oh, immortal, invincible. Yeah, it's Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he just went on two runs and that was his training, he's like I did it damn it.
Speaker 1:I'm good enough, funny enough, the guy that that's actually about like he did. It's a true story and the guy did make the Jets and like his big thing that he did was return like a kickoff. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Touchdown. That was part of the movie too, oh, yeah. Because that's like the only thing you ever did. Yeah, that was about it, but hey, it's still pretty cool.
Speaker 1:Fuck, yeah, man, I would love to do that Hard. Yeah, so, and they actually, to finish off that one thing about him running they actually do every year in Philadelphia a 5K or a 10K marathon held in the city of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2:It's called the Rocky run Hell yeah, and constantly playing eye of the tiger. Yeah, I'd be. Oh, no, that's just, it's like the running of the bulls but tigers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't wait, cause we're going to continue to do the Rocky movies, even if you don't care about them that much but next year Rocky three. That's where I the tiger comes in and apollo creed says the words I have a tiger 500 times oh. I recently rewatched it, so I know all about rocky three.
Speaker 2:It is definitely wait so he's not even done with apollo after this oh, and rocky three um.
Speaker 1:Apollo trains him. Oh yeah, he doesn't want to fight. Trust me, dude, you love that. Apollo creed comes back he's.
Speaker 2:I love Carl Weathers man, I thought he had a I don't know rip. Carl Weathers, I thought he had a bigger part in this movie, like I thought this was three, maybe I don't know in three and four.
Speaker 1:He comes back in both of those and I won't spoil it. So as Rocky ran through Philadelphia, he was telled by groups of kids In fact, 800 local Philadelphian children were used as extras for Rocky's inspirational training montage. But they were dropping like flies. Yeah, and Muhammad Ali said now that's one thing that some people will say is artificial, All the crowds running after him. But that's one thing that some people will say is artificial, all the crowds running after him. But that's real. Muhammad Ali said of this scene I had the same kind of crowds follow me in New York. Some of the kids who run with Rocky were chosen from Visitation BVM Catholic School in Balboa's neighborhood of Kingston, Philadelphia. Oh cool, yeah, it's cool, it's just like.
Speaker 2:It's funny if they get too close and he just punches them yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you noticed in that scene but there's like two kids fell over in one of them and man, they just like cover their heads.
Speaker 2:Like holy shit.
Speaker 1:Trampled All these tiny little feet stepping on them, and so I guess there was an alternate ending for the movie.
Speaker 2:Rock has to fight 800 kids. Yeah, kids, kids are running up the steps.
Speaker 1:He's like king of the hill style, or just be funny if, like all of a sudden, like all the kids are following them and then you notice they all have like little switchblades we hate, we love apollo, we love him instead um, but yeah. So the alternate ending had Adrian actually attending Rock's match and he like picks her up and puts her on her shoulder and stuff. But scheduling issues was the reason they weren't able to fully finish it, so they're like you won't have to do it, she just got out of a coma.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she needs to be at home. And plus, like bro, whenever like he's in the middle of fight and he's kind of struggling and it cuts to her and she's just like teary-eyed, I was like, god damn it, here comes the water just because of her face she's like oh no, it's just like.
Speaker 1:She's just like stoic staring at the tv like this, like you could see, like water in her eyes, it gets me dude. I don't know what it is about these movies, but they get get me. And so I guess he did like what was it 20 takes of him saying yo, adrian, I did it, and he would do it like I guess more like yo, adrian, I did it. But then he finally like he tried one time it's like let me just be more emotional about it Tori's like yo, adrian, I did, and that was the one they picked.
Speaker 2:I thought it was going to be like his bad commercial that he tried to do. Yeah, he just couldn't get it right.
Speaker 1:Couldn't read the lines. Oh man, that was brutal to watch, that was rough. And for the final, the final fact, I got one more thing. So, after the bell rings signaling the end of the second round, Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers are seen pushing and shoving and taunting and having to be pulled away by the cornermen. Well, that was real. They were mad at each other. Yeah, because they spent months. They spent months doing the fight like choreographing the fight, and so some of the punches that they were supposed to miss ended up landing, oh, and so at the end they was like they were really pissed at each other.
Speaker 1:Yeah, good punch hurts, but ultimately, you know, like after the film comes out, they're like hell yeah, man, that ruled that we hit each other now. Yeah, because it went down to the cards again, didn't? It're like hell yeah, man, that ruled that we hit each other now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cause it went down to the cards again, didn't?
Speaker 1:it no, this one he knocked him out.
Speaker 2:He did knock him out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, remember the slow motion knockout.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Did you watch a movie?
Speaker 2:I did.
Speaker 1:I'm just kidding, um. And in the first, rocky becomes angry when Gazzo the guy that keeps coming up hey, you want to work at the docks, like his driver in the first movie said sorry for the language, but says that you should take Adrian to the zoo because retards like the zoo, oh man. And then he proposes at the zoo.
Speaker 2:He loves the zoo.
Speaker 1:Don't make fun of the zoo. It's the most romantic place ever. But yeah, that's what I got. Oh, actually one more. So the scene when Apollo Creed reads his letters. Apparently one of the letters said how much did you get to carry that bum for 15 rounds? You're a disgrace to your people, people. I guess that letter might be written by Clubber Lang, who is played by Mr T in Rocky 3.
Speaker 2:Also, I got bars and I guess that's why in the next movie we'll learn that Clubber disliked Rocky and Apollo.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure if any of that's real, but or if it's just people theorizing. That's what it is, but yeah, yeah. So I guess we should get into the plot of a movie you hate. But yeah, yeah. So I guess we should get into the plot of a movie you hate. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2:I'm kidding.
Speaker 1:I'm here to turn, turn it all around for you, baby.
Speaker 2:The happiest part of the movie is when Cuff and Link make a return bro, I put my hands up in the air, let's go. Cuff, let's go. Link kinda hoped he would've like poured, still has those turtles. Yeah, they're huge, aren't they?
Speaker 1:I'm not sure. I don't.
Speaker 2:I don't know what cup and link look like now I mean, I guess they're just as big as they get. He needs to teach the turtles how to box that'd be insane.
Speaker 1:I wish you'd give him a bigger container. Well, they're teeny, weeny at this point, yeah, but I mean they can't move in that thing. They look even smaller than they did in the last movie.
Speaker 1:He's got one just sitting on top of the other one. He's like this is all we can do. All right, baby, that sucks. Let's get in this effing film, rocky II 1979. Yes, all right. So the film opens with the ending of Rocky got a Paul Creeds successfully defending his world title. Split decision, both fighters taking the same hospital in the match. He's like ain't gonna be no rematch.
Speaker 1:And then, as soon as he leaves the ring, everybody's like bro, you suck, you didn't beat this guy. And he's like god, dang it I want a rematch now don't say that I love that he's in the hospital chair. He's like we can do this right now. And then Rocky, like is he mad or something? Yeah, completely, I really like Rocky's demeanor.
Speaker 2:He's just like oh fuck, especially when we get later in the film and they have the press conference.
Speaker 1:He's like is he mad at me or something?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's like do you have anything detrimental to say about he's like? I don't know detrimental, he's great.
Speaker 1:He's great. Is that detrimental? I don't know the meaning of it, but yeah, so essentially, apollo's just wanting a rematch, but Rocky declines because he's retiring, because he can't see out of his right eye. Wasn't it like fractured or something? Yeah, I think it was like Beaten to a pulp. It's just like off right. Didn't they have to reattach it or something? Probably, I don't know how retinas work.
Speaker 2:That's what happens when you put your face in front of your gloves.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you should put it behind your gloves Just like two or three punches. Rocky, world-class boxer right here, yeah, adrian obviously is like, yes, he's retiring, thank God. Even the doctors are like, ooh good, because he yeah, he'll require surgery for an attached retina which could lead to permanent blindness. Oh yeah, after surgery, pauly asked for Rock's old job of collecting and then one of the nurse asked for an autograph.
Speaker 2:Did you imagine? Working somewhere and they're like oh, some of the hazards around here, just put on your little glasses, because something could hit you so hard that your eye falls apart.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, it's a nightmare.
Speaker 2:It's going to happen a lot.
Speaker 1:What if I just bump my head and like my eye comes out Gross, awful. But then Rocky goes to Apollo's room and asked if he gave him his best. Apollo said he did love that scene yeah, just like it's all dark. Apollo's like what the fuck do you want?
Speaker 1:they hold hands and I just love it because apollo's is like god, why did I have to pick this guy? Yeah, because he just wanted. It's like yeah, he just wanted a guy who could beat in two rounds. He just wanted to have like in a spectacle. It wanted a guy who could beat in two rounds, he just wanted to have like a spectacle. It's like because I don't know if you remember from the first fight, like when he comes out, it comes out as like Uncle Sam, yeah, and he's like on a little chariot or whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, rolled. And this one he's like, no, I'm coming out to kill Kendrick Lamar comes back.
Speaker 1:Samuel L Jackson comes out, hell yeah. So after Rocky is discharged from hospital, he begins to enjoy benefits of his life's changes resulting from the match. Rocky's new fame attracts him an agent who just immediately, like, ambushes him out of the hospital. It's like I'll make you, you're going to make. He sees him as like a gold mine. Essentially, yeah, he, you're going to make it. He sees him as like a gold mine. Essentially, yeah he. The kid comes in a full body cast and he signs his head.
Speaker 1:That's great, that was great. It's so rocky. And his sudden wealth encourages him to propose to Adrian at the zoo, in front of a tiger, who he invites to the wedding.
Speaker 2:He invited the tiger. That's awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't you remember Like after he proposes I was wondering if you wouldn't mind marrying me too much.
Speaker 2:What lips are always?
Speaker 1:he had a second chance to do it and he says the exact same way, but as they're walking away, he's like yo if you can get off on the weekend, you can come you tiger oh, tell me rocky, one of the greatest characters in film history he's lovable and then you got Adrian says yes, and it's like a perfect couple.
Speaker 1:And then she runs away with the tiger, and then they have like the small ceremony at the wedding and the guy's speaking, I guess, italian, and they don't understand it at all. And then eventually he's like he says something and they're like what he's like you can kiss her now. He's like he says something and they're like what he's like you can kiss her now. Oh great. He's like oh okay, how about you just have it in English?
Speaker 2:wait, I thought all Italians did the thing with like uh Lady and the Tramp with the spaghetti.
Speaker 1:I don't know they just that's how you get married. They just toss pizza pies in the air. Oh, okay, yeah it. Instead of rice, they just throw dough in the air, and then you got Gazzo, gazzo, g-a-z-z-o, yeah, yeah. At the wedding, asked if he wants to invest in condominiums where Rock says he's never used one, because I think he thinks that meant port-a-potty Dang Great bit. And I love this next part, rocky carries, adrian like all the way from the church. Yeah, and they stop to meet up with the local acapella group in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2:They're like a barbershop quartet. Yeah, just hanging around Adrian's like who the fuck are these people?
Speaker 1:dude. You mean you just like hang out with this group randomly. He's like, hey, there are some good people, you know. I don't know, that's my trash can actually.
Speaker 2:I didn't want to say anything. Don't get close. The trash can's full of feces, yeah.
Speaker 1:So at the apartment they have what I assume would be probably one of the more awkward sex scenes on that tiny ass little bed that smells like their dog Butkus Love little bed that smells like their dog Butkus Love Butkus. And you know, it's just like a very, you know very little quick little cute scene. Like the whole walking up the streets just carrying her and she's like are you getting tired yet, Like you've been carrying me a long time? By the way, your eye hurts probably, I assume.
Speaker 2:I can't say anything.
Speaker 1:He's too dumb to know pain. Yeah, so, and then we cut to. You know, essentially, rocky, trying to live the good life, he goes out, buys a 1979 Pontiac Firebird. Hell yeah, hell yeah, dude, I love that car. That car's great, even though he can't drive, obviously.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's great, just a nice thing to have.
Speaker 1:Yeah, obviously. Oh yeah, it's great, just a nice thing to have. Yeah, because as he's driving to go get this black jacket with a tiger on it and Adrian a big fur jacket and some watches, he's like that was a terrible car noises I guess you just you didn't even have to take a test back then to drive.
Speaker 1:Not when you're ruffy Hometown hero. You can do whatever you want, baby. But yeah, buy some watches, even one for Pauly, and then Buckus, he buys him a leather bedazzled collar and then even buys one for his own wrist. Rocky does that was great love.
Speaker 2:How much he loves his dogs it should have like glammed up at the cuff and link.
Speaker 1:I was gonna say do you prefer Buckus or cuff and link.
Speaker 2:Buckus or cuff and link. Buckus is real big yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know how I feel about big old doggies. I was reading like just kind of this morning like a synopsis of the movie to see what other people put in theirs and man, like a few of them really think this dog is ugly. It's got a huge head, like in one article article it said the ugliest dog of Philadelphia and one of them says the dog that feels like it came from outer space and I'm like dude, it's just a big dog.
Speaker 2:Ugly dogs are fun, Just the uglier the better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so cute. And then they go buy a nice new house. I love it when they're like walking up the stairs. My husband is an expert on bricks. Yo, these are some good bricks, these brand new bricks. I mean I love it because you have Adrian asking questions to the realtor, like you know, obviously wanting to drive down the price, but, like Rocky's, like I don't care, let's buy it, take all my money.
Speaker 2:I just want to.
Speaker 1:I don't need it anymore. I mean, like this place is amazing compared to the apartment he lived in. Yeah, the closet that he lived in, yeah, it was like completely messy Something I do like as the film progresses, you know we go back into their house. They have nothing in there. Yeah, it's a great detail of them just not having any money after he spends it all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's not good with money?
Speaker 1:Not at all. And meanwhile we see Apollo upset at the fact people are calling his fight a fluke and fixed. His wife's like play with your kids and he's like fuck it, throws everything in the air. You don't understand me. I'm a man, I have feelings. What a punch. Rocky and Adrian happily learn that Adrian is pregnant with her first child. Yo, adrian, you did it. You did it, you accepted my seed. How did that even happen? I hope you didn't get one of my dumb sperms oh, he definitely did came out too early.
Speaker 1:Yeah, rocky then goes to his first commercial. It goes horribly. Let's be real, this director's an asshole. Yeah, it's like obviously you should have came in knowing he's a boxer. You had to hear him talk at some point. He does not seem like a smart guy, no, so maybe let's just have someone else say everything and just have him in the background like punching. Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's super easy to work around this. But he's dressed as a caveman, Looks awful, he's like Adrian how do I look? He's like different. But he can't read. Everybody's starting to laugh at him. The director is a dick Probably the most stressful point of this movie for me, Sure. Then he tries to do it in a boxing ring, but he ends up confronting the director and ends up getting fired.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was funny. Whenever his trainer comes to see him in the hospital he's like how's my face? I wouldn't want it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so good, I wouldn't want it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's so good, I wouldn't want it, but yeah uh.
Speaker 1:So he's realizing that he needs to make some case, yeah and I love that when they put him in the boxing ring for the commercial, they put this terrible prosthetic on here's the thing man just take. I mean, the guy already has like a face that looks beaten up. Just keep the prosthetics off, it looks so much better. Yeah Well, his face all fucked up.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to lie. This director bad director, bad at doing commercials has no good ideas, but I feel like these are very like 70s commercial looks, I mean TV, is pretty new at this point. Yeah. So we cut to him learning to read in bed with Adrian while rubbing her pregnant belly. So we cut to him learning to read in bed with Adrian while rubbing her pregnant belly. One of my favorite lines you read nice, thank you, rocky. You lie nice, adrian, thank you. So sweet and endearing and you're like this.
Speaker 2:I think she knew that he didn't know how to read when they got married.
Speaker 1:I think she knew exactly what she was getting into, so should you whenever you're dating.
Speaker 2:Should you like hand your partner a note to read, just to make sure.
Speaker 1:Read every. Let's go to a restaurant, read everything on this menu to me real quick, just one time, just once. Read one sentence, then, rocky, he's like all right, everything's perfect except for this commercial. So now I got to find a different job. I want an office job, but no one wants to hire him because you know, I've said that before.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, wouldn't it just be nice to have one? Yeah, like a living Sundown? Yeah, but nobody wants to hire him because you know he isn't the smartest and hasn't finished high school and has a criminal record a little bit, yeah, because one of the guys is like any criminal record, not one worth bragging about.
Speaker 2:The guy's like okay, you're out of here, Shows him a keyboard and he just punches it. Yeah, yo, how'd I do? Got your memo right here, just constantly looking up porn on the computer.
Speaker 1:That's all he's gonna do so he then goes to the beef market and gets a job with the help of paulie. Uh, he's good at the job, but it's a tough job and you can see he's very unhappy. He wears his hat the whole time.
Speaker 2:I know it's so cute. What is going on with him?
Speaker 1:and sometimes he has to wear the a hard hat and I'm like, but that's just whenever he's using it the normal hat on top of it. That would be so good, dude, that would be a good bit. That's a good parody bit actually, but like man, this job seems tough, dude, You're just like carrying around like half a cow on your shoulder Just walking it around.
Speaker 2:Well, I think you're supposed to put them on the hooks and like that's what they do, yeah, but like there's one part where he's like throwing them in a truck or something, I was like jesus christ, dude, that's rough. Knee packing is a dangerous job. Yeah, and like they're not wearing gloves a lot, no your fingernails are gonna fall off from bacteria dude you know he stinks when he gets home.
Speaker 1:Uh, speaking of when he gets home, I I love that. You know he comes home, he hits the trash can because he can't see out of his right damn eye. Adrian walks out but he doesn't see her, and as he's getting out you can see how miserable he looks. But then, as he looks up and sees her, his demeanor completely changes and it's just like oh man, sylvester Stallone, he had it in him. What happened to the guy? He became too corny and cheesy for his own good.
Speaker 1:Because, like if you watch the first Rambo, I mean, it's just like dude. Sylvester can act Like what happened after these movies? Why did he get so cheesy? I guess the eighties happened. Yeah, you just, you'll lean into it, just the eighties movies became weird in the eighties movies became weird in the 80s. Okay, it became very popular.
Speaker 2:Yeah, um, but yeah, it's just you know, the relationship is the heart of the heart of these movies.
Speaker 1:I love it such a such a romantic. It's.
Speaker 2:It's valentine's day almost teach me your ways. I have to google how to be romantic because I don't know you google.
Speaker 1:it says like, say Like, okay, what is something nice to say?
Speaker 2:It's just like constantly Googling.
Speaker 1:But then he's back at the meatpacking plant and randomly one day Rocky's laid off from his job. He's like fuck yeah. He's like, oh, he's probably like the best worker there, but doesn't have seniority.
Speaker 2:Whenever they showed him sweeping up the floor, he looked like he was doing a real bad job of it. It seemed like.
Speaker 1:I want to know what is anybody else doing in this plant? He seemed to be doing every job at one point. It's like everybody else is like you, just clean. I guess he probably had to do the harder jobs because, yeah, the grosser ones, yeah, because he's no seniority.
Speaker 1:Yeah that makes sense. So he goes to the dock and convinces Pauly to buy his car. He blames not being able to see out of his right eye. Pauly sees right through. He's like do you need bread, dude? I'll just give you money and I love it. Pauly loves this because Pauly's kind of an asshole, obviously. And he just loves the fact that he gets something one up on.
Speaker 2:Rock, Like because he can see out of both of his eyes. See out of both. Well, just because.
Speaker 1:Rocky's having money trouble, so he's like I can give you some money. You gave me this collecting job and I'm good at it. Apparently Also, pauly, this movie compared to the first movie. He glowed up. Yeah, because he was bigger in the first movie movie and, like um, he lost a lot of weight, like between movies. Yeah, and apparently it's. Paul used to actually be a fighter himself. I don't know what type of fighting. I just read something that like he used to fight when he was younger.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just to fight dogs. But uh, apparently he was like he's like, yeah, I lose and gain weight all the time, it's not that big of a deal for him. Oh shit, I was like, yeah, cool also, he plays a great dick, he is a dick, he's great at playing, great at treating paul era adrian like yeah in the later movies like they really like this movie.
Speaker 2:He seems better yeah, he's a little toned down from the last one the first movie, the third and the fourth.
Speaker 1:He's like his alcoholism really ramps up. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Doesn't he end up like stealing a bunch of money from him? I can't remember.
Speaker 1:I think in the next ones maybe I remember these two the most. So Gotcha Rewatching Rocky III, it like kind of starts with him just being an asshole and a drunk, but then he is like better for the rest of the movie. Four is where it's just like really I can't wait till we get to four. Honestly, oh yeah. Four is uh wild. Um, so that night Rock is hitting the punching bag. He tells Adrian that he's starting to think about fighting again. To her dismay, she offers to get her uh pet shop job back she's punching it.
Speaker 2:She's like what are you thinking about, rock?
Speaker 1:yeah punching punching, but I love whenever she offers to get her job back. He's like what if you get a pet shop disease or something?
Speaker 2:yeah, it's like what are you talking? I think that's just when you bring home a bunch of pets that your husband doesn't want.
Speaker 1:You think you're gonna get the avian flu from that. I will get into the pet shop job later, but I, I got some. I got, I got. We got to talk about adrian and her decision making in the pet shop. So Rocky goes to visit Mickey to talk about fighting again, but Mickey tells him he can't do it. He tests him if he can see. It's like you know he does the finger test Like all right, you can see out of left eye, now let me try to your right eye. And he's like Now it's like dude, you guess, and he's got the line. You got the heart, but you ain't got the tools, no more.
Speaker 2:He doesn't really have the heart, though. He just has the desire, yeah, to want to do it Well.
Speaker 1:I think he really wants to do it, but, yeah, he doesn't have the tools he has to at least help at the gym. But Mickey says he can. He can, even though he doesn't think he should, for his dignity, because you know, you see somebody that literally a few months ago was fighting for the belt and now he's just like sweeping up and picking up spit at a gym.
Speaker 1:That's got to hurt your pride a little bit. A little bit. Yeah. Determined to rectify it's so gross. Yeah, I know it's awful. Determined to rectify his boxing career's only blemish. Apollo ignores all pleas by his friends and family to move on to other potential opponents and demands his team to do whatever necessary to go Rocky out of retirement and to rematch. He says I won, but I didn't beat him. They tell him if they use the humiliation tactic, apollo will come off as the bad guy Love it. I do wish there was a little like more Apollo scenes Of feuds, like because I love. In the first one he's just this cocky guy. You know, yeah, he is the villain, but like you love him Right.
Speaker 2:And in this one he's full on like I will knock his eyeball out of his head if I can and like I kind of want to see that version of him a little bit more.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, like putting a horseshoe in his boxing glove yeah, just like put a little, like he put um, like uh dips his hands.
Speaker 2:It dips his gloves in glass like kickboxer yeah, bro.
Speaker 1:So like in japanese, in japan, like, uh, they have like in the wrestling, like you know, professional wrestling. They had matches where people would like just put stuff on their gloves boxing gloves and that'd be a part of the wrestling. Yeah, bro, that's brutal wrestling.
Speaker 1:Got crazy for a while that's so awesome yeah so next day at the gym, rocky sees a newspaper calling him the Italian chicken. Yes, that's a turkey. It's a very good joke. He tries to ignore it and continues working at the gym. All the guys don't respect him and Mickey hates it Because, like whenever, like someone like spits into the can and it kind of makes fun of them and Mickey's like.
Speaker 2:I wish that, whatever they'd spit into the can and made that sound, and then you got Gazzo, the man himself.
Speaker 1:Mr Mustache Comes by to see him and asks if he wants to come back To work for him, but he refuses Because he can't be about that life no more, because he has a family. I don't sweep meat no more, well no, this is the collecting job. Yeah, he's like I can't do criminal no more, well no, this is the collecting job, oh the yeah, he's like, I can't do criminal stuff anymore.
Speaker 2:Sure you can I?
Speaker 1:love, gazzo, gazzo.
Speaker 2:Whatever his name is, Gazzo.
Speaker 1:Like he's, like a nice I don't know what would you call him. Like a he's a nice crime lord.
Speaker 2:He's not even a crime boss, though he's just like an underling yeah, he's just like a.
Speaker 1:He's just like so chill with everybody that works for him and it's hilarious to me. And then we get coffin link baby not doing shit. Yeah, they're just like sitting there wanting to watch some TV.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah yeah, I love how he puts on TV for his turtles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like y'all want to hear something, even though they're like sitting on the TV At home. He returns, he turns on the TV and sees Apollo goading him into a rematch. Depressed, he goes up to his room. He tells Adrian that he's supposed to be a fighter and he's feeling like a nobody. But she doesn't want him to. I never told you to stop being a woman so please don't ask me to stop being a man.
Speaker 2:I thought it was a sweet part they quit being a woman, quit it, quit doing it it's like I don't know.
Speaker 1:I just feel like, is this like, please, let me provide? It's the only way I know he just doesn't want to be poor anymore.
Speaker 2:He doesn't want to be poor, but he also is like risking his life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she doesn't want him to die yeah, but it's just like, please, let me try. Um, and then there's a knock at the door because mickey was watching the same sports program that he was, or news program, and he's like god, shut the fuck up, apollo, like kicks over, like little dinner table thing I worked on him real well. And then, like he opens the door, it's Mickey.
Speaker 2:I thought you guys should knock his block off.
Speaker 1:Adrian is very unhappy and doesn't support him, though, and just turns around and walks up the stairs. Yeah, I'd be pissed too. Thing is, I'm on both sides I'm on Adrian's side and Rocky's side.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I get it. He's not good for a whole lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's also like you know, it sucks for her if he like loses his eyesight.
Speaker 2:She has to be the one that deals with it, you know.
Speaker 1:So it's like you can see both sides of their argument, but also at the same time you're kind of on Rocky's side more, because, like, if I don't see a boxing match at the end of this movie, I'm gonna go insane. That's why rocky five sucks.
Speaker 2:So that was the fifth one yeah, nobody likes it and nobody talks about it, but we are gonna do it. Is that the one?
Speaker 1:with the robot. No, that's rocky four. Nice, that's that batshit. Maybe so at a press conference, apollo is pissed, but Rock is being Rocky and doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously.
Speaker 2:But he doesn't get it.
Speaker 1:It's endearing as fuck.
Speaker 2:He doesn't get anything about the buildup for boxing.
Speaker 1:He's like I don't know how to act, so I can't be like him. And Apollo's not acting. He's just like I want you all to know I'm going to kill this white boy. But it's great, because they keep like they keep asking what are you gonna do? This? You're gonna get way more money this time like, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2:it's like, well, I guess I'll just buy this and buy some puppets for my kids, maybe adrian for the church yeah.
Speaker 1:So I don't know, I might buy a snow cone machine for Pauly Pauly just in that corner, just being like. I glowed the fuck up in this movie, baby. So while watching their last match, mickey tells him he's going to have to switch to being a right-handed fighter and not be Southpaw, because it's going to confuse Apollo. And it eventually works. He tells him he's going to have to get speed.
Speaker 2:So Mickey has him chase a chicken. Yeah, that was awesome Chicken chaser. The whole like switching hands things. You ever tried to do anything with your offhand? Yeah, it sucks. I hate it. I don't like anything. You should try, just for fun. Use your offhand to throw something as hard as you can. Yeah, so Just video it.
Speaker 1:Over the holidays all my cousins. When I went over to their place we usually throw football and they all learned how to throw with their left hand.
Speaker 2:Even though they're not left handed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they all just sort of try it and they're good at it, it's insane. And then I do it and I'm like, eh, and they're good at it, it's insane. And then I do it and I'm like, eh, and I was like, wow, I used to be the one that kind of was like better at throwing football, I never. They all became better than me. I never learned how to throw a football.
Speaker 2:Really Ever. I could never do it. I just couldn't figure it out. It's so easy.
Speaker 1:I know you just got to do it.
Speaker 2:It looks I did. I played a lot of football growing up.
Speaker 1:Couldn't throw for shit.
Speaker 2:I mean, some people just don't have the I threw a game winning pass in a college. I wasn't playing college football, jesus. But it was like intermediate, whatever they call it intramural, and the final play was like a trick play where the quarterback tossed the ball back to me and I threw like a 50-yard pass to this guy for the win.
Speaker 1:But it was like flipping end over end all the whole way. The guy looking to catch it would be like I don't even know how to.
Speaker 2:How do I grab this?
Speaker 1:This thing is going to like rip right through me.
Speaker 2:He just let it hit him and then he caught it. Wow, that's awesome. I want to throw a game winning pass I didn't do a pump fake, so the guy running after me just ran into me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was always the guy catching the ball and like juking and spinning people out. I can't do any of that. I was very elusive as a younger kid.
Speaker 2:I was more like Rocky in playing football.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just hit things, he would just punch you in the face.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll just use my body as a weapon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're a Southpaw. You led with your head. Yes, Because that's. That's ultimately why they want him to switch to being right-handed. Because I guess Southpaws lead with their heads. I don't know why. I guess because they're. I don't know anything about boxing. Yeah, me neither. I used to love the Fight Night games, though.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, those games were fun. Those games were so good, they were hard.
Speaker 1:And so yeah, rocky's chasing a chicken. He feels really foolish. He has the great line feel like a Kentucky Fried Idiot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hell yeah. I love the idea of chasing a chicken, because that shit is hard. Yeah, have you ever?
Speaker 1:chased one. They are very fast Because down at the end of our road, like these people, just let chickens run free, and every time they never run left to right, they only continue to run straight in the direction I'm going.
Speaker 2:Man, those things can go. You got to put something on the front of your car that scoops them up, yeah, as you drive.
Speaker 1:So you don't hit them. He's like these are my chickens. So we were cutting between Rock and Apollo fighting or training Apollo, who is training his heart out and very focused, unlike Rock, who is barely even trying at this point. Like every time, mickey's like.
Speaker 2:God damn it Rock. He's like I didn't really have to try hard last time.
Speaker 1:So what's the deal? Yeah Well, he's just like his heart's not in it because Adrian doesn't support him. This go around.
Speaker 2:He's just like he just family trouble, can't focus right um, I just wish you'd get to a coma and apollo's just like lifting off the ground and essentially flying in the air.
Speaker 1:How fast he's doing is like a jump roping. It's great. Um, and then finally I can talk about adrian and her decisions in the pet shop. Oh, like we cut to Adrian, who spends almost all day only moving heavy shit around constantly. Yeah, that sucks Like why. Hey, there's got to be someone else at some point that works in this pet shop, that never sees customers, but Rocky that maybe they can do it on their shift moving all this heavy stuff. How about we let other people fill the food garbage cans instead of letting her do it on their shift moving all this heavy stuff? How about we let other people fill the food garbage cans instead of letting her do it constantly?
Speaker 2:and probably women are not supposed to be around, especially cat feces. Yeah, they're not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it can cause problems um, but then like she moves something a little bit and she has a little bit of stomach pain. It's like stop moving random trash cans, Adrian. Like she's moving everything like five feet over and it's like who moved it in the first place? Who's moving this stuff? Stop moving things. It's the only part of the movie where I'm like come on, man, Like she's not dumb.
Speaker 2:She wouldn't be doing this.
Speaker 1:And then Pauly comes in while he's training, noticing Rocky, is distracted because of Adrian's decision to not support Rocky. So he goes to confront his sister about not supporting her husband, but she faints during the confrontation, is rushed to the hospital where she goes into labor. I love it though this scene, because you know Pauly's always a dick to her, because I don't know why.
Speaker 2:Because he wants to date his sister. That's how I put it. He's very jealous of Rocky for dating his sister. Maybe he's just being protective in a weird dicky sort of way, I don't know he's weird, but I love.
Speaker 1:He's like, why aren't you supporting him? You should be over there right now. And then it's like do you even care about him if he goes blind? Pauly, you walk away. I love him, you don't. And then, yeah, I'm gonna go to the hospital. I love when she has like her, like her, like when she finally rubs because she's such a shy person. And you know, I love it when women start to plead to death. It's not like that, but it's just like she's shy. So it's like nice whenever you see her like confront her dick brother. Yeah, she doesn't the first one too and it's just like she's shy. So it's like nice whenever you see her like confront her dick brother.
Speaker 2:She does it in the first one too, and it's great, yeah, but it takes a lot for her to stand up for herself, but she does, it's cool.
Speaker 1:And in the next movie she's like a lot less introverted and stuff. She's like y'all listening to me now.
Speaker 2:She really got punched out of her shell. Yeah, she really got punched out of her shell.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's. It's like it's not that she doesn't think he can win, but she just doesn't want to see him get hurt and be in worse shape than he already is. It's great. Love it. While, being confronted by Mickey Rock, learns about Adrian, cause Mickey's like god dang it Rock.
Speaker 2:He's like don't come back here, you piece of shit yeah, if you're not gonna, I ain't training you.
Speaker 1:Ah, love him. Despite being premature, the baby is healthy, but Adrian falls into a coma because of hemorrhaging yeah, lost a lot of blood. Rocky blames himself for what has happened and refuses to leave Adrian's bedside until she wakes up and will not go see the new baby until they can see it together, because Rock is sentimental as fuck. So I'll be like I gotta go see this baby. I don't know you gotta see the baby. It's like come on, he's gotta see somebody in his family for a second. I know, other than just Paulie Don't want him to take after him.
Speaker 2:I could not want to see a new baby, especially as a new father, like because whenever I was in the operating room when they when my first daughter was born and they handed it to me, I'm like so scared to hold this thing, like I didn't know what to do with it, so I just set it down, I put it where they put the baby. I just set it on the floor and walked away.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Clean up on aisle five. I said, ew cooties Kicked it out the window. I was so afraid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could understand that. I don't know. I don't know how I'd react if I had a baby in my arms. I can't give you one I got too many, that's great, I'll trade you three dogs for one baby.
Speaker 2:Give me that bag of Reese's Dang dude many, that's great. I'll trade you three dogs for one baby.
Speaker 1:Give me that bag of Reese's. Let's call it even Dang dude. Good thing this episode is coming out after Valentine's.
Speaker 2:Day Now. My wife knows what she's going to get.
Speaker 1:Just kidding, I get a Reese's every year.
Speaker 2:Reese's, not Reese's, reese's.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I'm restless. Alright Rock goes to pray in a hospital chapel. That's a cool chapel. All right Rock goes to pray in a hospital chapel. That's a cool chapel. Yeah, very pretty. I don't know if it's a hospital. Yeah, because he asked like is there a chapel here? Yeah, Philadelphia has great architecture yeah they do.
Speaker 2:That's something I've learned from these movies. One of the only cities that has good architecture.
Speaker 1:I have never been to Philadelphia, but I will always love the city because of these movies. That's cool. So yo go Eagles, baby Super Bowl champs, let's go Go Boyds, Beat them damn Chiefs.
Speaker 2:Sorry if you're a Chiefs fan.
Speaker 1:We do have one person from Missouri that listens. So sorry for your loss.
Speaker 2:Wait, missouri, that's not Chiefs. Kansas City, missouri oh, because there's also a Kansas City.
Speaker 1:They're not in Kansas, which I always thought Kansas City Chiefs. We're a Kansas team, but they're a Missouri team. So Mickey shows up telling him that he has to train. But if Rocky wants to sit around praying, then he will too, because he's got nothing to lose.
Speaker 2:He's like, hey, it's three in the morning. Yeah, and five minutes later he's like hey, remember, it's three in the morning yeah let's get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1:I do love that scene because he's like he just he's like we got to do this, but he loves rock, gotta save your wife. He loves the rock, so he has to wait for him, so we watch. So then we get like a montage of him doing stuff with his wife, so we watch it. We watch Rocky, watch her read to her, write her poems and pray he writes her a really bad poem yeah, yeah, but it's sweet at the same time. Sounds like me if I try to write a poem for life.
Speaker 2:Roses are red. You know what?
Speaker 1:honestly, it's probably better than what I would write actually. Yeah, um, and just another important thing, just because, hey, paulie's not not 100% of a dick Because he did go to visit Adrian with some flowers, because he does care about his sister, but he's jealous of Rocky because he's got a weird thing with his sister, because Rocky's in there and he's like well if he's always going to be here. I'm throwing my flower down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the poem. I've only written a few poems for my wife. The one she liked the most was a rhymed smut with butt hell. Yeah, it was her favorite one. It was short, it was like four lines, not even a haiku. I'd really like to really like to know what the rest of that poem was I don't know how you got to smut.
Speaker 1:So when adrian comes out of her coma, like seriously, how did you get to smut?
Speaker 2:uh, I don't remember. It was like roses are red violets or something. Something, something, something.
Speaker 1:I watch a lot of smut. Let me touch your butt.
Speaker 2:Let's record some smut so I can touch your butt. I don't remember. It was very well written, though.
Speaker 1:Five out of five. I turned it in. It's actually something I wrote in kindergarten.
Speaker 2:It's in the Library of Congress right now. Holy hell.
Speaker 1:Wow, that bit died okay. So when adrian comes out of her coma she finds rocky by her bedside and the couple are shown their newborn baby, a boy. That is very hairy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like golly dude, look like a baby, like a baby, like a baby monkey, you know, because they're always like completely like hairless except for the top of their head, and I was like wow, dude, a couple of my kids had hair like going down their foreheads, like when they were born, really, just like like a V of hair going down from like the middle of their eyes going up to their head. Wow, it was wild, your kids. It's not like that anymore. Some kids it just happens.
Speaker 1:That's weird, but like it just like eventually falls out. Yeah, it just goes away.
Speaker 2:You rub it off with some sandpaper.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, cool, Rubbed right on. Yeah, just put some Nair on it, but they name their kid Rocky Jr their kid Rocky Jr. By the way, Rocky's name is Robert Rocky oh.
Speaker 2:I didn't know he had a first name, yeah his real name's Robert, robert, yep.
Speaker 1:So Adrian decides that she wakes up and says fuck it, we ball Fight. Rocky, you get to fight. There's one thing I want you to do what's?
Speaker 2:that.
Speaker 1:Win what Win.
Speaker 2:Where's my money?
Speaker 1:it's like, do you think she was just dreaming of? Like she dreamed out like the, the next two movies, and like, damn I'm gonna get some money? Hell yeah, man with some fur coats or do you think this is one of those things looks like well shit, I died just almost giving birth and it's like he would, he would he would never stop me from like well, I guess.
Speaker 1:All right, let's break it down. So do you think it's like? She's like well, shit, like I almost died for working. So like, why can't I like? So I might as well just have my husband like. If it's like it was my choice to work at the pet shop and almost died carrying around heavy stuff, why should I stop Rocky from pursuing his dream and potentially almost dying as well?
Speaker 2:Kind of his job to die and to be in pain, but like I was just trying to think.
Speaker 1:I was like oh, it just seems like a plot convenience, right, it's like she comes out of a coma. Now it's okay for you to fight. So I was like trying to think I'm like, well, she almost died doing a mundane task while pregnant and even though he didn't want her to, he still let her and everything ended up okay. So maybe for her it's like well, I'm fine, it's all going to work out, so let's let him fight, see what he can do, and maybe he won't get hurt. I guess kind of looked at it Because it is kind of one of those things where it's like, if you don't think about, it's like, well, what, she had a coma and changed her mind yeah, she had a very introspective coma, yeah just like, oh man, she just dreamed about her him fighting clover lane her becoming a boxer like little what.
Speaker 2:What was it? Little babe, or god damn it stupid. The girl boxing movie. Little miss sunshine, no million dollar baby. Well, I hope she didn't.
Speaker 1:that was adrian's Stupid the girl boxing movie Little.
Speaker 2:Miss Sunshine no, million Dollar Baby, million Dollar Baby. Well, I hope she didn't.
Speaker 1:That was Adrian's dream. I hope she didn't dream of the ending. No, that's when she woke up. Okay, and you know what time it is, baby, montage time. Everybody's got a montage Montage. Even Rocky had a montage. So you got push-ups, sledgehammering tires, picking up sticks, one-handed pull-ups, sit-ups, jump rope feedback sparring One-handed push-up log jumps catch a chicken, punch a chicken. Make Colonel Sanders his bitch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he catches it. Colonel Sanders is watching nodding yes, he catches it. Colonel Sanders is watching nodding yes.
Speaker 1:Ah, yes, yes, Punches him out. He's doing the mustache thing from Kill Bill 2. Rocky V I will fight you, colonel.
Speaker 2:He's throwing his seasoning in his eyes.
Speaker 1:Release the chickens. That's what Rocky should have done. He should have done. He should have worked in a chicken barn. Yay, just rounding up chickens, hell yeah. So we see Rocky put his son down and we run down the street to gotta fly. Now Cheesy, but I love it. At one point, like earlier, some kids fall and get trampled.
Speaker 2:Yes, I love when he's jumping over stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah I'm sorry man I could just watch every rocky running montage workout things. It just pumps me up, dude. Yes, you had all this emotional stuff and it all led to like we, baby, we got to fly. Now it is time to murder people with this. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I was training before I was going to go into the army. I was running around here and my wife pulled up behind me in her car and started playing Eye of the Tiger.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, I was so pumped it's like let's go, just pick up the car, put it on your shoulder, start running with her, turn it up, babe. I could do anything. Just like pick up the car, put it on her shoulder, start running with her, turn it off, babe, I could do anything. So then we cut to the night before the fight. We see Rocky wide awake at night, apollo in like his dress, like fancy ass dressing room or whatever, like looking at a picture of Rock and ripping it up, throwing it in the trash and then kissing it all thinking about the fight.
Speaker 2:Pulling it back out, yeah, unfurling it, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's a small scene, but I love when they add things like this where it's just like damn, this is like such a big deal to these people that they're just like God. You kind of want both of them to win at the same time. And then the night of the fight arrives and Apollo has made a public goal of beating Rocky in no more than two rounds. The first fight, going the full 15 rounds, was a fluke. The arena is filled but Rocky is still saying goodbye to his kid. Like literally it's packed arena Announcers already announcing for the TV and Rocky's like yo, this is my baby Rocky Jr.
Speaker 1:I got to make sure I read him a bedtime story. You'll have to help me out with some of the big words, but that's okay. And he's saying goodbye to the kid and Adrian who can't go to the fight because of doctor's orders. Apollo is already taped up and ready to go. Rocky is heading to the arena but first goes to a priest to give him a blessing. The father's like hey, I can't think of anything to say. You're a good rock. Hey, rocky, come on, it's a me. I'm already. I started saying stuff before I had anything to say in mind. I always do that. So the priest blesses him, he gets ready and it's time to go out.
Speaker 2:Dips his gloves in holy water.
Speaker 1:Apollo seems focused, but Rock is doing his thing, talks about the robes. Nice robe, it's real cute.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a fun robe it looks comfy.
Speaker 1:It's like it fits way better than the last one. Mickey's like yeah, I don't want to stand on your back. You can't get a little bit more focused. And he's like, if I don't get a chance to tell you this after, thanks, mick. And I'm like god damn it, don't make me cry, rock. But yeah, rock comes out, gets in the ring. Apollo comes out with no glitz or glamour.
Speaker 2:this go around ready to knock the rock rocky, the fuck out so you don't think he's as confident this time because he's not dressed like Uncle Sam. No, I think. Well, I think he's just like.
Speaker 1:He's like alright, I played around last time, it's time to get serious.
Speaker 1:And he's thinking like alright that's not his brand, yeah, but I think this time he's just his guns are loaded, he's ready and it's fight time, baby. Yeah, but I think this time he's just his guns are loaded, he's ready and it's fight time, baby. So fight starts. Apollo is still kind of cocky and he says he's going to knock him out, he's going to knock his head off, and Rog's like. Mickey's like don't let him get to you, kid. Rog is like wouldn't you? He's like yeah, I probably would.
Speaker 2:But then the fight, the chicken's over there too. Yo chicken, I did it. Tears coming out of his eyes.
Speaker 1:I love it and they go into the back room. It's like yo, where's chicken? He's like oh, we're eating it tonight.
Speaker 2:No, I loved you chicken.
Speaker 1:Camilla, I wish it was just the chicken from Moana.
Speaker 2:Hey, hey, yes, best chicken in movie history, I think.
Speaker 1:So fight starts. Rocky's not able to mount much of an offensive effort through the first two rounds, even though getting knocked down in the first round and the second, though at the end of the second round he does get to throw him in the corner and just like fucking bam bam. And then Apollo throws him in the corner and it's like bam bam. Rocky's like oh no, bam bam yeah.
Speaker 2:And I love it, like I think at the end, jesse needs to be an announcer for sports. He's Mr Calling sir the fight's happening oh yeah, look at him. He's like bam, bam, bam bam.
Speaker 1:I love it. At the end of the first round I can't believe it, mickey's like what. He broke my nose again, but he manages to. At the end of the first round I can't believe it. Mickey's like what. He broke my nose again, but he manages to survive the two rounds, disproving Apollo's theory that the first fight result was a fluke, because now it's fucking on baby. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2:How many rounds did they go this time? 15. They do all 15. But they don't always have 15 rounds in a boxing match, I think they cut them down, like in the 90s, to 12.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, they got them shorter and shorter and now it's only like four rounds with YouTubers.
Speaker 2:The last one of his was like three rounds.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And they cut down the round time because he's old as fuck.
Speaker 1:None of them are boxers.
Speaker 2:They're not athletes anymore they're.
Speaker 1:YouTubers. Let's just have youtube fights. That's what it is now. That's what boxing I guess it is still it's. It's weird, like, because I think it was, um, uh, one of the paul brothers started doing it and then all the youtubers just kind of jumped on the train because they realized, wow, we can make a lot of money.
Speaker 2:You could make a lot of money and I would. I would pay to watch some of these youtubers get their asses kicked. That would be incredible.
Speaker 1:The issue is they all fight other youtubers who can't box?
Speaker 2:oh yeah, I guess you have to spice it up a little bit.
Speaker 1:I remember when I watched the first, it was just like youtube, like a bunch of youtubers started fighting and I watched it when they put it on youtube and I was like this sucks, dude, and there's like the people that were just slightly good at it and he's like, thank god, like there's like the people that were just slightly good at it and he's like, thank God, like there's somebody that knows how to box here you get to see it.
Speaker 1:There's a slap fighting Like none of them know how to do it. You know, I mean you can't just be a good boxer after training for like four months to and your first fights that. I mean it's like that's why you have to train underground and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:But anyways underground like a Hobbit yeah.
Speaker 1:Big old feet, but man, first two rounds, Great right. Oh, there's something what's?
Speaker 2:there's something barbaric and lovely about it.
Speaker 1:I feel like they've improved on filming of this fight, cause you're like they go into like slow motion, sometimes much more, much bigger uh budget. But also I just love um even all. Lee said like he loved apollo creed in these movies, because obviously he was doing apollo creed, like things you know.
Speaker 1:Like that, he ain't gonna get me. And it's like winding up his fists dude, are you kidding? He's like here we go, here we go, rocky's. Like you're gonna hit me, just stands there and takes the hit. And he's like here we go, here we go, rocky's. Like you ain't going to hit me, just stands there and takes the hit. And it's like Rocky, he was winding up his punch.
Speaker 2:But that's shit, all he did. His head shoots off of his body. He goes ding.
Speaker 1:He's like running around trying to catch it as it comes down Lands perfectly back on his neck At least my eye didn't fall out, all right. But, as before, the fight once again reaches the 15th round. Some great like as they go through the rounds, some great slow motion. It's so good. I've seen the sweat pop off of them and I'm thinking like while filming I was like, did they just actually hit each other for this? They had to right To make that much sweat come off of them. There's no CG. They had to get the crew to get around and spit on their faces and then they could punch each other Spitting. But yeah, so it reaches the 15th round, by which point Apollo has built a lead on points that Rocky cannot possibly beat, though Rocky did win some rounds. Like I said earlier, slow motion shots rule. The cuts to Adrian like kind of like crying a little bit gets gets me really gets me, gets me super pumped.
Speaker 2:I got me laughing a little bit, hope that he wins, you don't have a soul.
Speaker 1:But issue is Apollo wants to knock his block off.
Speaker 1:He wants to kill him, which is going to be the downfall of this match for Apollo because, knock his block off, yeah, he wants to kill him, which is going to be the downfall of this match for Apollo, because he's got it won, all he's got to do is stay away from Rocky and he continues to hold the belt. But because he's obsessed with it against, the vice of his corner leads him to trade blows with Rocky, despite his lead. Rocky lands, like it still seems like Apollo's going to knock him out, but Rocky's like this doesn't affect me. I got extra bones in my face.
Speaker 2:Yeah, his face is just a bloody pole, yeah.
Speaker 1:And like oh man, it's crazy how well choreographed these fights are and how smart the fight is, with Apollo the whole time just trying to knock the shit out of him. So by the time he gets to the 15th round, he's Apollo the whole time just trying to knock the shit out of him. So by the time he gets to the 15th round, he's like he can't even lift his arms.
Speaker 1:He's like Jesus Christ and, as you see it, because Carl Weathers is such a good actor you could see him just like his the weakness and his punches, and it's like well, I haven't really punched, so here we go, First punch here it comes, starts landing on him and he, like, works the body and the side.
Speaker 2:His strategy was to tire him out with his face.
Speaker 1:But what I really love is right, because he lands the last blow. But it doesn't seem harder than anything Apollo has thrown at him. It's just Apollo's exhausted and he just like one punch and Rocky's exhausted.
Speaker 1:So he like falls down too and it's slow motion. It's great. You're like gripping your couch or your chair, like get up Rocky, get up, get up Rocky. And then, before he's counted, both are counted out. The Rock gets up, yeah, and he wins. Fun fact, before we continue Apparently in boxing at this time they would consider Rocky falling a slip.
Speaker 1:So even if he didn't get up in time, rocky still would have won. But because it would also, he would have won, but he wouldn't have won the belt. Apparently, just like an asterisk. Yeah, so Apollo would continue to be the champion, but the Rock, rocky would have been considered the winner. The Rock, apparently, just like an asterisk. Yeah, so Apollo would continue being the champion, but the Rocky would have been considered the winner. The Rock, yeah. But yeah, he stands up. Everybody's like let's fucking go, pauly, adrian flipping their shit. You got Gazo with his like young girlfriend getting hugs and be like I'm a nice gangster. Mickey's over there like god dang it, I'm about to die of a heart attack. The chicken's over there like ah. And then Apollo's crew is like crying in the corner Anytime that they cut. When Apollo's getting the shit beat out of him, his main corner guy, you get to see him getting emotional and tearing up.
Speaker 1:He's like get away from him, dang it, it's so good. I'm like pumped up right now. Hell, yeah, um, yeah, uh, throwing each other in the turnbuckle.
Speaker 2:Man, I love when they do that stuff it's so good.
Speaker 1:Just look, the viscera of the fight is amazing. But Rocky wins the fight by knockout and becomes the heavyweight champion of the world. In his post-fight announcement, rocky, who's won back the respect of his fans, his wife Adrian, humbly thanks Apollo. This is like other than the birth of my child. I don't know, what happened there? This is the greatest day of my life. I'm gonna get a robot.
Speaker 2:Yo, adrian, I did it. Amazing End of it.
Speaker 1:Amazing End of movie. Freeze frames on his ugly ass beat up face. Dang dude. Insane how rough that looks. Great prosthetics Looks like something just to make it look good. Dude, I don't know they might have in this movie. I mean the makeup for their bruising is so good I don't know they might have in this movie. I mean, the makeup for their bruising is so good.
Speaker 2:I don't think it's like something that's talked about enough, like how good, like their facial dysmorphia looks after the fights their makeup artist is just a woman who knows all about getting the shit kicked out of her well, that's a bummer to leave this movie like like Well, that's a bummer to leave this movie.
Speaker 1:It's like bite him, but that's Rocky II. Let's go into our categories for Rocky II the good, the bad, the ugly, the Adrian, hell. Yeah, the good is something we liked about the film. The bad is something we didn't like. The ugly is something that didn't age well. The Adrian is something that did age well. So what do you got for the good?
Speaker 2:The good. I thought the music was incredible. It gets you pumped.
Speaker 1:It's always good. They use all the same music in all of them.
Speaker 2:It's still good, though, except Eye of the Tiger is introduced in the third one. Blasting brass music. Oh yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1:Pumps me up For me. Stallone just was made to play this part man. Yeah, it's like he's so good at it.
Speaker 2:A lot of times, though, I just couldn't understand what the fuck he was saying Really.
Speaker 1:I guess I don't know, maybe I just I've just seen these movies so much I just know exactly what's being said here. Yeah, I didn't have the captions on.
Speaker 2:It made it a little bit of what were difficult.
Speaker 1:Oh man, him and Adrian's chemistry. Just you know, it just doesn't feel like Sylvester Stallone should have chemistry with any woman. But for some reason he found the right actress to do it Right and plus, especially when he got older, it's just like man. I don't know.
Speaker 2:He's undateable. Yeah, he just feels like an undoubtable guy.
Speaker 1:But of course I'm wrong, because he has a wife and some lovely kids yeah they have like a Bravo TV show or Amazon Prime reality show Does all the kids talk like him? No, I think he had like three girls.
Speaker 2:They all look like the wife I think. That's lucky for them.
Speaker 1:So what do you got for the bad?
Speaker 2:The bad, I don't know, I guess it was a little silly sometimes. To me it was, I don't know. I kind of laughed inappropriately in a few spots I can understand that.
Speaker 1:he's like an awkward funny dude, yeah, and also like so when he gets serious, it's like what.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess my biggest problem with the movie was I wasn't interested in His life, his life.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I guess I mean it was you made it more interesting to tell me what you thought was better about it.
Speaker 1:That's my goal with these Rocky movies. I'm going to yell at you until you like them, or love them. You'd like them, but just not love them. My bad is like not enough. Apollo.
Speaker 2:I needed way more Carl Weathers.
Speaker 1:Just you know, he should have been in everything.
Speaker 2:We should just get him to do something else he's dead, I know. Maybe we can get like a ai to recreate his voice and he can be a part of our podcast, be our fourth host, and it won't be breaking any like laws, right, yeah?
Speaker 1:hey, I have voice snake. I need you to learn to be like carlers.
Speaker 2:You're only halfway there, buddy, instead of just laying here depressed.
Speaker 1:I need you to be more like him. All right, so what do you? Got for the ugly? Something that didn't age well.
Speaker 2:Probably the city of Philadelphia right.
Speaker 1:Because it's burned down right now from the Super Bowl yeah, pretty much. They're like we want a Super Bowl. Let's tear down the city.
Speaker 2:Because, yeah, they didn't show that after Rocky won this huge fight, that everyone just burned the city down again.
Speaker 1:Everybody tore down every red light.
Speaker 2:It just set the place on fire.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've been watching videos of it. It's like golly man. They're so happy though Philadelphia, different breed of people. They're so happy they got to burn shit. Brothersly love, baby they competitive people so happy they gotta burn. Brotherly love, baby they competitive. Um, my ugly is rock's beat up face just because it looks ugly not that it didn't age, well it oh boy, just look ugly sucks getting punched. Yeah, all right. So what do you got for the adrian something?
Speaker 2:that. Well, I think, I think these movies do age. Well, I think even.
Speaker 1:They're just the best sports movies that we have.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're pretty cool. They're pretty fun to watch, even though it was made in 79.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can still watch it. And this one, I think, is the longest one. It's one hour and 59 minutes, yep, I think. The other ones are like all around 140, something like that. The third one's much it feels shorter, it much it feels shorter it also just it has more fighting, so you might like that one. I did, yeah, I did enjoy that, but I like that one less because there's too much nonsense in it yeah, that's.
Speaker 1:There's too much nonsense, there's just not a lot of like adrian and rock in it. Yeah so and that's, uh, it's the heart of the it's the heart of the movies for me it's not a rom-com yeah. So the adrian for me was boxing movies. I love them, oh hell. Yeah, all boxing movies are a little bit good.
Speaker 2:Even the bad ones are a little good yeah, like I never saw the great white hype. I'd like to, but never heard of it, what it's? Um, we went to watch in the theaters. I went with my uncle and my cousins and I walked into the blair witch project on accident and they all just followed me in like oh, this is normal, and we watched that instead. I was like. I was like, do you guys want to go back to the other movie theater? They're like no, we're already here.
Speaker 1:No, this is a real movie about people dying and everybody had a bad time I want to watch people scream at each other in the woods shaking of the camera really stabilizes me dude, that movie gets. The more I watch that, maybe the harder the harder it gets to watch that movie, which might be a bad opinion, but it's the one I got but I did like the one.
Speaker 2:Um yeah, boxing movies are good. I like watching them. They're fun southpaw, that's a fun one that's a million dollar baby was incredible.
Speaker 1:actually never seen that one. I I need to watch it. It's one of those movies that you know the ending has been spoiled so many times. It's just like I just wish I didn't know, trying to think like Ollie. That's a good one. You might hear about it.
Speaker 2:I've seen that one. It was good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's way too long yeah but it's like a.
Speaker 1:That's a biopic, so they're always along. Yeah, all right. So let's head to our next category Double feature. It's a movie that goes well alongside the movie we just watched. I picked Ali starring Will Smith, fuck yeah. Made by Michael Mann, one of my favorite directors ever. He did Heat, collateral, public Enemies, oh man, more movies, movies. Thief, which we are gonna do soon eventually, fuck yeah, but yeah, one of Will Smith's best performances. Yeah, it's great. You should just check it out. It is long and pretty slow, but Will Smith does a great job at being Ali, john Boyd's in it, jamie Foxx steals the show yeah, that's what I remember from it.
Speaker 2:Jeffrey.
Speaker 1:Wright. So good, just some of the best actor Jada Pinkett Smith makes a appearance.
Speaker 2:I thought Jamie Foxx was Muhammad Ali. No, he's like the. I just don't remember about the movie. I guess I watched part of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't remember Mario Van Peebles as Malcolm X. Hell yeah, oh, movie's so good, just kind of takes you through the history and, like you know, great movie to watch during Black History Month. I guess yeah what do you got for a double feature?
Speaker 2:I really enjoyed the IP man movies, or IP man, I don't know how you say it. I'm going to say IP because it makes more sense to me somehow. Yeah, they're really good, it's in the second one IP man too, is when IP man, who is a kung fu guy, I don't know, but he fights an American boxer, hell yeah, he's like super arrogant and shit Sounds like an American boxer. Oh, it's so cool to watch this. Kung fu is the show yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm assuming he's probably like a lot smaller than him too. Yeah, yeah, a lot smaller, that's awesome.
Speaker 2:Love it, Love movies like that. He does all the like. He does all like the precision punches to his muscles. So his muscles like quit working. I'm just giving the whole movie away.
Speaker 1:But it's so good. I just want to know how to do that. I'm sure those first two movies are very popular, so I'm sure a lot of people that listen to this podcast probably like those movies.
Speaker 2:I would assume Better.
Speaker 1:Hey, ding, ding, baby. That's it. That's the end of the round. That's the end of the match.
Speaker 1:So next week, as long as everything goes well and we don't- have to cancel or anything we are going to be joined by Dakota and we are going to discuss Sicario, which, if you listen to our no Controlled Men podcast, we talked about that a little bit. Is it the Pokemon Sicario? No, that's the. It's a. How do I explain? Is it about catching Pokemon? No, it's nothing like it.
Speaker 1:It's about, you know, um, just like helping a hitman get into mexico to take out, like these, like drug lord crime bosses, but also like the um people that are helping him are also trying to stop, like the war, like you, drugs from coming in and stuff like that. Sweet, it's so interesting. Emily blunt, john bernthal uh, yeah, I love emily. Uh, daniel kaluuya um, josh brolin, denuncio del toro yeah, I love him. Yeah, it's just, it's a stat cast. It's, uh, directed by denny villanue guy that did doom blade runner hell, yeah, yeah. So it's badass. You know it's gonna be a good movie and well shot. Oh, bro, bro, like, what's it on Amazon Prime? Yeah, yeah. So you've never seen it? No, holy hell, don't watch it with the kids, but if your wife hasn't seen it, that'd be a fun movie for both of y'all to watch.
Speaker 2:But I've seen the Benicio del Toro do drug movies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, oh man, there's this shootout like at the American Mexican border. Such a good scene, dude. The beginning of this movie is it sick? I can't wait for us to do it.
