In this episode, in a welcome diversion from the Covid-19 pandemic news, I reflect on my thoughts, feelings, and rankings of the "Rocky" saga movie series, in which I include the two "Creed" films. At the start of Part 2, I begin my reflections and analysis on the fourth ranked Rocky film in my rankings, "Rocky Balboa."  I found it personally helpful to reflect on what is my opinion an excellent, uplifting, and often great movie series about overcoming adversity as an underdog, and moving forward no matter how hard life hits you.  My personal rankings in terms of best to least best are:  1.  Rocky 2. Creed  3. Rocky II  4. Rocky Balboa  5. Creed II  6. Rocky III  7. Rocky V  8. Rocky IV
