In the kickoff episode of Season 2, Ryan and Ruban dive straight into the gritty underdog saga of Rocky II, picking up right where the original left off with Sylvester Stallone's iconic boxer facing new rounds of triumph and turmoil, while taking a nostalgic detour through the eclectic films Stallone cranked out in the gap between the two Rocky installments—like the gritty crime drama F.I.S.T. and the high-octane action flick Paradise Alley—showcasing his raw versatility before Apollo Creed came calling again. Amid the cinematic reminiscing, they pivot to a cheeky nod at Burt Reynolds, urging listeners to Google his infamous 1972 Cosmopolitan photoshoot where the mustachioed heartthrob lounged au naturel on a bearskin rug, a bold, hairy emblem of '70s machismo that's been parodied endlessly and serves as a playful, NSFW warning for the episode's irreverent vibe.
