42. 80s Action Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Part 2 – Ageing Like Fine Creatine

Steven, Benjamin, and Sean conclude their deep-dive on the action movie career of Sly Stallone by discussing his post 1997 output, an era defined heavily by reinvention and re-imagining. From comeback king in Rocky Balboa to team player in The Expendables and everything in between. Explosions get bigger, hair gets smaller, and dialogue… well, still mostly shouted. A study in never knowing when to throw in the towel, which is fortunate. Because if he did after Get Carter, Driven, and D-Tox, we wouldn’t have experienced one of the finest renaissances in action star history.
