We pity the fool who skips this episode!

As Stallone puts it, Rocky made him famous, but Rocky II made him rich. And with this newfound success, he wanted to give his underdog boxer character a similar trajectory, turning him into the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. That is until an unknown boxer challenges his title, forcing Rocky to learn a new way of doing things through the forging of a new friendship with an old adversary. But does he have the eye of the tiger to see it through?

Scott and Nick are joined by podcaster Brad Mendenhall (Cosmic Gepetto) to discuss Philly pride, questionable boxing techniques, and the pop culture phenomenon of 1982’s ROCKY III.
