Episode 269: The Everlasting Love Of Rocky, Food & Family

The weekly movie review edition of the show arrives with nine new films. In documentaries, Steve Prokopy looks at one about the current Secretary of Transportation (Mayor Pete) while Erik Childress looks at how Juggalo culture became synonymous with gangs by the government (The United States of Insanity) and both dig in to the life of The French Chef (Julia). Steve covers a film about human trafficking (7 Prisoners) while Erik suffers a franchise re-imagined by SNL’s Mikey Day (Home Sweet Home Alone). The pair look at one of the most-praised films out of Sundance this year (Passing) as well as a sequel to an admired film from Sundance past (The Souvenir: Part II). Speaking of the past, Sylvester Stallone has gone back to re-edit the fourth Rocky film and Erik has all the details (Rocky v Drago) and finally Steve weighs in on Kenneth Branagh’s new semi-autobiographical tale of growing up (Belfast). 0:00 – Intro 2:39 - 7 Prisoners 11:31 – The United States of Insanity 14:44 – FAMILY CLIP 19:47 – Mayor Pete 25:22 – Home Sweet Home Alone 36:02 – Passing 48:07 – Julia 1:00:19 – The Souvenir: Part II 1:12:33 – Rocky v Drago 1:26:11 - Belfast This is a public episode.
