ONCE HE FOUGHT FOR A DREAM. NOW HE'S FIGHTING FOR LOVE!

A huge conclusion to our sequel month run with one of Sutherland's favorite movies of all time, ROCKY II! If you thought Blade Runner was heated...it still is but this one is also incredibly contentious! We talk how to construct a good sports movie. Are they ever really about the sport? And we break down Josh's infamous claim about this "frankly miserable" franchise. Also some big new releases at the top of the episode and a guest appearance announced for next week!
