Creed (2015) | Bleeding Butt Boxing Match
from DeGen Cinema Podcast Hosted by Degen Cinema Podcast
Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay start off Round One of the year with 'Creed.' Andy hits first with a story about his time in a boxing match where the use of performance enhancing drugs had unforeseen consequences. Then the guys grab cheesesteaks and chat about one of the great Philly movies. Brimming with flourishes about the city from food spots, to hip hop choices, this 'Rocky' franchise reboot has no business being as captivating as it is, but Ryan Coogler's eye for detail shines through. Not only is it one of the great movies capturing a city, but it somehow pulls off the rare feat of being a sports movie that's riveting in and outside the ring. This was a star-making role for Michael B. Jordan, but it's Sylvester Stallone's career-best portrayal that helps ground the entire endeavor.
