Perfect Age to See This Movie

13; 26–27 for contemporary viewers, jokingly

In the discussion (1)
Approx. transcript time · 00:34:31Read transcript
  • Perfect viewing age: thirteen (including thirteen in 1993); joking contemporary revision to26–27 because modern kids might not endure slow opening. Kids preferred Rocky III/IV.

Most Rewatchable Scene

Gonna Fly Now training; fourteenth round

In the discussion (14)
Approx. transcript time · 00:35:12Read transcript
  • Most rewatchable scene begins: Spider Rico opening fight, headbutt, smoky aftermath, comic tax deductions from tiny payouts, then Take You Back. Opening action/theme reassures audience this will eventually be sports film.
  • Opening boxing portrayal described as unflattering, dirty, corrupt, fighters destroying themselves for little pay and awful fans; not criticism of choreography.
  • Opening exploitation pays off by explaining the chance all fighters chase; Creed's opening instead immediately establishes skilled fighter.
  • Three consecutive scene candidates grouped: Apollo bicentennial plan, abusive Gazzo driver exchange and Rocky finally retaliating, Apollo choosing Italian Stallion despite southpaw warning.
  • Jergens' offer and press conference: ham-and-egger humility, asking secretary to return business card as keepsake, greeting Adrian, later admitting TV mockery hurt. Audience already knows future legend he cannot foresee.
  • Mickey asks to manage Rocky, impart knowledge, prevent repeated mistakes; door-opening/closing and angry pride speech, then distant wordless reconciliation praised. Reconciliation suggested as Great Shot Gordo candidate.
  • Gonna Fly Now montage: one-handed pushups, racing boat, second successful stairs climb after earlier failed training; considered among greatest sports scenes. Museum/statue tourism and changing Philadelphia cultural relevance discussed.
  • Trunks painted wrong at arena reveals dispensability; ensuing Adrian speech about going distance and proving not another neighborhood bum praised.
  • Fight entrance candidate: Paulie's robe deal, Apollo Uncle Sam entrance and trash talk, Joe Frazier cameo, Master of Disaster/King of Sting nicknames.
  • First two rounds candidate: thrilling first knockdown, bar reaction, intentionally missing slaps, broken nose and Duke saying Rocky thinks it is a fight rather than show.
  • Fourteenth round named personal most-rewatchable choice: stay-down calls, Rocky rises, Adrian emerges, Apollo's slumped disbelief, body attack paid off from meat training. Repeated two-punch shot noted; Cut Me Mick effective but disgusting.
  • Fight ending candidate: Cut Me Mick, no-rematch exchange, hat question, bell/overhead crowd rush/music, emotional win despite decision, Paulie opens ropes. Empty arena visible on rewatch and some ADR criticized168–169.
  • Final scene discussion: training/Gonna Fly Now preferred by two responses, fourteenth round separately loved; first-date ice rink deserves mention for determination, southpaw story, emerging intimacy and attendant countdown urgency. Apartment encounter described as accosting.
  • The meat-freezer interview is admired for Paulie intruding into the shot and Duke turning toward the sound of the punches; imaginary social-media reactions follow.

The Great Shot Gordo Award for Most Cinematic Shot

Art museum steps; distant reconciliation; first training wide shot

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 00:40:41Read transcript
  • The distant, wordless reconciliation after the argument is suggested.
  • The Steadicam run up the art museum steps is selected; the award is jokingly renamed Great Shot Garrett.
  • The wide Philadelphia shot ending the first failed early-morning training run is another choice.

The Big Kahuna Burger Award for Best Use of Food and Drink

Meat freezer; Thanksgiving turkey

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 00:41:15Read transcript
  • The meat-freezer interview is selected, with a suggestion it could replace the category namesake.
  • The Thanksgiving turkey is the countercandidate, especially Paulie wielding the greasy leg like a scepter.

The most "year the movie came out" thing

White doo-wop singers and benevolent street drunks

In the discussion (1)
Approx. transcript time · 00:49:25Read transcript
  • Most1976: white doo-wop street singers and benevolent drunks versus contemporary street suffering. Real grimy smoke-filled dive bars challenge romantic nostalgia; recurring accusations everything stinks.

What’s Aged the Best?

Steadicam; music; sports-film influence; training; Shire; ending

In the discussion (14)
Approx. transcript time · 00:51:24Read transcript
  • Aged best: Steadicam, reportedly third movie using it, stair test with inventor's wife, accepting money rather than points regretted. ASR inventor names inconsistent; verify externally rather than guessing.
  • Aged best: music/soundtrack still used in sporting events.
  • Aged best: actual turtles reportedly kept by Stallone and alive as of last2021 reference; turtle pets criticized as smelly, long-lived, undesirable indoors.
  • Aged best: sports-film form transformed by Rocky, called Marlon Brando of sports movies; dissent someone else might eventually have discovered formula.
  • Digression contrasts real-sport fascination with dynasties and fictional underdogs, aspiration versus inspiration, Moneyball/Cashman example; The Game and Last Dance show dynasty stories work in books/docs; fans hypocritically resent real surprise winners.
  • Aged best race in boxing: tribal allegiances remain acceptable in boxing. Early sports films' white heroes facing Black opponents discussed. Disagreement over conceived Ali premise versus audience's racial reading and sequel wish; Apollo himself deploys race. Stallone's boxing investment illustrated by claimed Roy Jones Jr replacement by Antonio Tarver in Rocky Balboa.
  • Race discussion: Apollo explicitly monetizes audience racial biases; opinion movie itself clean on race versus Rocky III, with Dipper taking Rocky's locker noted.
  • Boxing-gym authenticity: locker taunt and gym stopping for conflict; Van recounts fitness sparring complaint and racial tribalism, followed by commentary stereotype jokes.
  • Aged best: miserable initial5a.m. eggs/run/failed steps with coughing and side pain, setting up later triumphant return.
  • Angry Mickey dialogue praised, including women weaken legs and eat lightning/crap thunder; Burgess Meredith Penguin/Twilight Zone memories.
  • Aged best: inventive meat freezer, gritty1970s Philadelphia/Kensington/Port Richmond and economic despair shared by other cities.
  • Aged best: television Rocky marathons, complaint Rocky II repeats original ending; out-of-nowhere athlete inevitably evokes Rocky.
  • Aged best: Talia Shire in three Best Picture winners in five years; Adrian distinguished from Connie. Godfather family-lying digression.
  • Aged best: Gazzo's driver comedy, Steadicam, and final revised ending. Director anecdote rejected crowd-carrying ending and downcast aisle-walk ending before musical ring reunion saved film. Adrian's subtle vulnerability grounds exaggerated characters; joke Paulie bad brother.

The Slow Ride / Kid Cudi – Pursuit of Happiness Award for Best Needle Drop

Reflections; Gonna Fly Now

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:05:44Read transcript
  • Gonna Fly Now is suggested as a possible new category namesake.
  • Reflections is the choice, connected in the discussion with Kool and the Gang and Summertime.
  • Music at the ending recalls its use in Victory; the opening rapper creates an uncomfortable association, without being named.

Paulie Award for Asshole of the Film

Paulie

The panel proposes a new category here.

Flex pick · Van Lathan

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:07:04Read transcript
  • Van explicitly selected flex Paulie Award for Asshole of Film, Paulie winner. Discusses sequel power-of-attorney financial ruin, objection Rocky V never happened; modest defense Rocky IV his best version.
  • Paulie flex continued: treats sister as commodity, blames her for unmarried life, insults her, destroys Thanksgiving turkey while keeping leg and coerces date. Rocky partly complicit in coercion; exaggerated wished-for retaliation.
  • Paulie flex: no redeeming deep-down goodness; proposed Paulie/Panino why-character-awful naming, neighbors would tire of yelling.

The Butch’s Girlfriend Award for the Weakest Link in the Film

Paulie; slow courtship

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:09:57Read transcript
  • Paulie or the slow Rocky–Adrian courtship are proposed; twenty-five minutes could now be nine.
  • The ice rink is defended, but another response wants the date to end with a kiss there rather than successive apartment invitations and persuasion.
  • Adrian discovers a sexual side of herself and offers to rub Rocky down.

What’s Aged the Worst?

Paulie; empty fight crowd; Marie advice; rejected points

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:12:07Read transcript
  • Paulie’s abuse of his sister and lack of consequences age poorly.
  • The Chuck Wepner story is called the worst, without further explanation here.
  • The visibly empty fight audience prompts wishes for a restoration adding CGI spectators.
  • The Steadicam inventor declining profit points is another choice.
  • Rocky telling twelve-year-old Marie that bad language will lead to prostitution is criticized.
  • Marie later becoming a Rocky Balboa love interest makes the earlier interaction uncomfortable in retrospect.
  • White doo-wop groups are added.
  • The sequels abandon this conception of Rocky as he becomes smarter and more athletically gifted with age.

The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award

More Gazzo; Rocky–Apollo romance; Rocky made Philadelphia

In the discussion (7)
Approx. transcript time · 01:15:27Read transcript
  • Gazzo is the most interesting character outside Rocky, Adrian and Apollo; more scenes asserting control or fixing the fight could make the film more interesting. — Chris Ryan
  • The $500 offer appears to promise leverage over Rocky; two more Gazzo scenes could replace two Paulie scenes.
  • The darker original script reportedly had Rocky throwing the fight and a racist Mickey.
  • Rocky and Apollo are called the beginning of the greatest love story, reprising an earlier provocative take. — Van Lathan
  • A deliberately extreme take says Rocky made Philadelphia, otherwise likened to Delaware with attitude, a museum and teams.
  • Others object that Delaware is a state and Philadelphia has actual championship and boxing history.
  • The provocation is defended as an attempt to restore extreme hottest takes.

Casting What-Ifs

Caan/Reynolds/O’Neal/Redford; Norton; Keitel; Snodgress; Strasberg

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:18:29Read transcript
  • United Artists reportedly wanted Redford, Ryan O’Neal, Burt Reynolds or James Caan; this is defended as plausible studio thinking rather than ideal casting.
  • O’Neal is rejected as too handsome and WASPy.
  • Caan as Rocky with Keitel or Cazale as Paulie is imagined.
  • Caan and Reynolds are challenged as too established; the unknown Stallone makes the audience root for the real performer too.
  • Ken Norton reportedly withdrew from Apollo before Carl Weathers took the role.
  • Stallone reportedly wanted Harvey Keitel for Paulie.
  • Carrie Snodgress reportedly left Adrian over money; Cher and Susan Sarandon auditioned, with Sarandon judged too pretty.
  • Lee Strasberg reportedly wanted too much money to play Mickey.

Recasting Couch

John Cazale as a more likable Paulie; otherwise unchanged

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:18:58Read transcript
  • Caan as Rocky with Harvey Keitel or John Cazale as Paulie is imagined, but Caan and Reynolds are considered too established for the unknown-underdog effect.
  • Recasting: initial leave cast alone, then more palatable Paulie considered; John Cazale failed-brother type may repeat roles but charisma would make him likable. Imagined neglected skinny alcoholic and robe-logo hustler.

Half-Assed Internet Research

Production constraints; fight choreography; poster error; number-one song

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:23:13Read transcript
  • Duke reportedly received his name only in Rocky II; Bound for Glory and Marathon Man preceded Rocky’s Steadicam use.
  • The ice rink was empty because the production could not afford extras.
  • Meredith used a fake cauliflower ear and a nostril tube to alter his appearance.
  • Young reportedly applied vermouth and wore excess clothing to feel uncomfortable and angry; the meat-locker drinking is recalled.
  • The final fight reportedly began without choreography and had to stop so it could be planned.
  • The wrong trunks on the arena poster were reportedly an actual error incorporated into the scene.
  • A Philadelphia union issue reportedly moved much of the fight filming to Los Angeles.
  • Gonna Fly Now reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, above the guesses of top ten or seven.

Apex Mountain

Talia Shire; Spider Rico; women removing glasses (qualified); shy girlfriends (qualified)

In the discussion (12)
Approx. transcript time · 01:27:29Read transcript
  • Stallone’s peak is placed at Rocky III and First Blood in 1982, not this film.
  • Removing glasses to reveal a more attractive woman is tentatively an apex; She’s All That is considered, while another response disputes suddenly finding Adrian hot.
  • Talia Shire receives affirmative apex answers; later projects reportedly did not succeed.
  • Shy girlfriends receive a tentative yes.
  • Bull Durham is preferred for abstaining from sex during sports, with disagreement over whether Rocky truly abstains.
  • John Avildsen’s peak may be The Karate Kid, when he had both that and Rocky despite the earlier Oscar.
  • Philadelphia alternatives include 1776, the 1983 Sixers and major football wins; Rocky remains a defining image rather than a settled unique apex.
  • Burt Young’s more tolerable Rocky III character is considered, while Back to School is named his best performance.
  • Spider Rico receives a definite yes.
  • Ice-skating dates face Happy Gilmore and The Cutting Edge alternatives.
  • Rocky movies receive a no.
  • Boxing-film apex is disputed by definition: Raging Bull is judged better and chosen for a desert island, while Rocky is more culturally significant.

Cruise or Hanks?

Cruise; Hanks dissents

In the discussion (1)
Approx. transcript time · 01:33:25Read transcript
  • Cruise or Hanks Cruise wins explicit democracy with dissent Hanks. Heavyweight plausibility challenged for both, Cruise preparation/weight-change defense.

Scorsese or Spielberg?

Scorsese; co-directing alternative

In the discussion (1)
Approx. transcript time · 01:33:50Read transcript
  • Scorsese or Spielberg: co-directing proposal gritty character work plus inspirational climactic fight; separate Scorsese choice supported by Raging Bull.

Picking Nits

Arena access; five-week notice; Mickey’s training/hearing; Adrian’s dating

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:34:42Read transcript
  • Picking Nits: empty Spectrum access questioned, defended because Rocky on next-day fight card and could inspect ring; empty setup implausibility reiterated.
  • Nit: forty fighters refusing five-week notice implausible for huge payday; response perhaps feared Creed, matchmaking story correction, real short-notice fight examples.
  • Nit: string-between-ankles balance training dubious, Mickey contribution limited; Apollo better trainer argument versus Mickey teaching body punches/balance/no smoking and real improvement.
  • Nit: Mickey cannot plausibly hear normal-volume speech down hall/stairs through doors after years of punches.
  • Nit: someone would have dated Adrian earlier, Rocky only now pursuing friend's sister; rebuttal he repeatedly visited making jokes. Sexual transformation and clothing jokes.

Sequel, Prequel, Limited Series, or All-Black Remake

Enough Rocky; unknown underdog or female/MMA variation

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:38:39Read transcript
  • Sequel/prequel/prestige TV/all-Black cast/untouchable: many versions already done, enough Rocky opinion; speculative planned Creed-universe television after Amazon MGM purchase, uncertainty acknowledged.
  • Future direction: true unknown underdog rather than champion's son, female Rocky idea then rejection in favor original movie; modern cynicism and amateur-record questions, MMA version/Warrior as strongest example. Erotic Adrian's Awakening and hired-to-weaken-legs joke extended, Clubber attraction joke.

Is This Movie Better With…?

Gazzo’s driver; Collinsworth and Romo impressions

In the discussion (1)
Approx. transcript time · 01:39:16Read transcript
  • Is Movie Better With character roster read; add Gazzo's driver and say better with him, Collinsworth and Romo impressions about Adrian's sexual awakening.

Just One Oscar

Stallone’s screenplay

In the discussion (1)
Approx. transcript time · 01:40:19Read transcript
  • Just One Oscar: Stallone screenplay.

Probably Unanswerable Questions

Women weakening legs; hypothetical fight odds

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:40:32Read transcript
  • Unanswerable: do women weaken legs? Recalled HBO or Showtime Sex and Sweet Science program allegedly found no scientific support; podcast assertion, uncertain network.
  • Unanswerable betting hypotheticals: Creed minus2000 or perhaps30–1 using Tyson/Douglas analogy, rounds over-under2.5, Gazzo fixing angle, after early knockdown Creed minus400. Clearly invented odds not actual betting history.

What Piece of Memorabilia Would You Want From This Movie?

Gloves; sweatshirt; pullovers; posters; Mickey photo

In the discussion (1)
Approx. transcript time · 01:41:45Read transcript
  • Memorabilia reluctance due smell/hygiene; fight/training gloves, Italian Stallion gray sweatshirt needing fumigation, Mickey training pullovers, gym/Jergens posters, battered young-Mickey photo. Locker/Skid Row and Adrian sex-book jokes.

Who Won the Movie?

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:44:56Read transcript
  • Sylvester Stallone wins emphatically, with a suggestion this might be the greatest movie win ever.
  • Writing and starring as an unknown, then building a long franchise, makes the achievement unusually difficult to repeat.
  • Tarantino, Palminteri, Roberts, Pacino and Welles are discussed as comparisons, with prior visibility limiting several parallels.
