Ep 110: Rocky IV - Ultimate Director's Cut

Let's go back in the way-back machine to reach back for some nostalgia as the Movie Defenders review a Rocky film for the first time ever! We don't just review any Rocky film... we review the new re-cut version of Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago - The Ultimate Director's Cut! What happens when a director removes half the movie, and puts that same amount back in? Let's find out together! Even if you haven't seen this movie, but saw the original, we'll play a lot of the new stuff for you and walk through every difference. This isn't just a normal Director's Cut as the entire film is re-edited! But before that we talk some big DC Snyderverse news that's cropped up recently! Then we dissect our Top 5 Rocky/Creed movie moments before tackling a brand new version of Rocky IV!
