Happy Brexit New Year! To commemorate the historic moment in British history James and dKiff watch and review Escape To Victory, a movie nostalgic for the times when a rag-tag bunch of Brits (*and a load of Europeans, a couple of South Americans and a Canadian-enlisted American) could single-handedly defeat (*draw with) the best the Nazi regime could muster.

This week James and dKiff take a look at that all-time Christmas classic Rocky IV. Because who doesn't fight at Christmas?

How else could he make things right than by facing the Russian on his own turf in the icy Soviet Union. Can Rocky defeat his toughest opponent, avenge his friend and potentially help end the cold war? You betcha.
