“So you’re saying this is better than the Escape Plan franchise?” - Eric

On this week’s episode, We ❤️ Movies month continues as we chat about one of the best sports dramas of all time, Rocky!

How incredible is all the human, non-boxing stuff here? Isn’t this thing way better since we have all these salt-of-the-earth actors (and non-actors) filling the frame? Could these shooting locations have doubled in Rossellini’s Germany Year Zero? How great is Butkus Stallone? And was there ever a greater heavyweight than Burgess Meredith? PLUS: Adrian invents Star Trek slash fiction!

Rocky stars Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith, Thayer David, Joe Spinell, Al Silvani, Stan Shaw, and Butkus Stallone as Butkus the Dog; directed by John Avildsen.

Burgess as Mickey is my GOAT coach/manager in sports movie history I think.

Went to see "i play rocky" on Saturday there and was saying to my missus that it would be good if you had done an episode on Rocky, then you do lol. "I play rocky" Put me in the mood to watch the movies, finished 1 and 2 over weekend and 3 last night. 4 is tonight, so after this episode I think I'll go back and listen to episode on 4 to prep 😁

Paul

Can’t wait for “Se7en” next week!

Eren Keskin

Rocky sure loves beating his meat

Chris Harriss

As great as this film is, the apartment scene with Ardrian has *not* aged well at all...

TJ Gaines

How he never won an Oscar for either Rocky or Rocky II I’ll never know.

TJ Gaines

That’s the thing. Once you watch the first one, you kind of have to go through all of them.

Jason

I like these WLM episodes cause the guys get to stretch their film critique legs to go along with the goofy crudeness. Don’t get me wrong, I am not hating on when they go full goof crude-kkake on a bad film

TJ Gaines

Question I’ve asked before. Is Gazzo cinema’s nicest bookie/loan shark? He helps out Rocky every chance he gets.

Peter Reynoso

WHM grampy here. Saw it at 11 in the theater with my sister and her husband.

MarkNM

Thats why the character is so relatable.

Surprisingly, Spider Rico lived long enough to eat at Rocky's restaurant.

Kevin Lynch

There’s a scene cut from Rocky V in which Rocky run into the little girl as an adult and she’s become a sex worker

Rose Esposito

Seriously! Like I can tell the movie intends it to be sweet and sincere and not creepy, but as a human woman living in 2026 I was cringing so hard. It's like the cold open of a SVU episode. He even does the arm over her head blocking the door thing!

Dennis C

Apparently, there is a deleted scene from Creed II where Rocky is seen showing up to Spider's funeral, saying that he passed away in 2018, at the age of 73.

Mike Kling

Love Burgess Meredith have you covered the Grumpy Old Men movies?

Billie Jackson

I've only seen 2, 3 and 4 on vhs back in the day. And the Mickey "spit flying out of my face" scene. This one does sound like the best thing Stallone has ever been involved in. But aside from the boxing, a lot of the super bleak stuff is very relatable, so this episode in addition to being funny as always makes some heavy bits enjoyable.
