Episode 28 - Rocky, Is the new Lion King really live action?

from The Geek, The Nerd, & The Tangent · host Matt, Erich, and Bret

ADRIAN!!!!! We’re talking the Rocky franchise just in time for the 8th installment (Creed II). Did you know that Sylvester Stallone wrote the screenplay for Rocky in just three and half days? (32:45) Though Sylvester brings us a string of movies that are hit or miss, we really see his emotion and a powerful portrayal of a relatable character in the Rocky movies - which is why we’ve considered this series a game changer in the world of sports movies. (45:00) We’ve seen Rocky “go the distance”, but when is it time for him to hang up his gloves and call it good? (55:00) Also, with the release of a teaser trailer for Disney’s The Lion King we debate what really classifies a live action movie… What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
