Title: Rocky [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: John G. Avildsen Producers: Irwin Winkler, Robert Chartoff Writer: Sylvester Stallone Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith Release date: December 3, 1976 (US) SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema is back in action, ya'll! Hosts Robert, Beau, and Ash return to analyze, review, and deconstruct the 1976 iconic boxing/sports epic, Rocky! Sylvester Stallone gave us one of his all-time classic performances for this movie, and we feel this is truly a film that is more pertinent and more necessary in these trying times; we were truly blown away by how well it holds up all these years. We talk about Stallone's overall career, the anime-esque feel to Rocky's character, the autobiographical nature of Stallone's writing, and how Rocky is the quintessential modern American folk hero. Join our discussion, and prepare to be inspired! Collateral Cinema is on Apple Podcasts, Chill Lover Radio, Podcoin, and wherever else you get your podcasts.
