Stallone 6-Pack: The 90-Minute Traumas & Feels

The king of action movies that run between 70-100 minutes is Sylvester Stallone. If the feature was focused on action over drama in the 80s, they were brief affairs. Some were good, some were bad, but they all benefit from their sleek runtimes. CatBusRuss has tackled four* of Sly's features before, but did not have any representation from the current decade. So, he decided to bring back his reviews of "beloved" features like "Nighthawks", "Cobra", "Over the Top" and "Judge Dredd", and sandwich them between a two-picture binge. Our host takes 2022's superhero feature "Samaritan" and the 2021 re-edit of his favorite "Rocky" feature, "Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago - The Ultimate Director's Cut". Russ goes through the entire range of emotions though out this episode. He pities the fans of Stallone's attempts to connect with kids, tears up for the relatable heroes, loves all of the outrageous moments, and experiences PTSD with the director's latest decisions. This podcast may be the emotional roller coaster that the icon has tried to deliver since the original "Rocky".
