Podcast: Afterthoughts
Episode: Rocky (1976)
Description: With Creed 3 (2023) in theaters, Dixon figured it's a good time to revisit the classic that started it all. That's right, the bums of the Afterthoughts podcast will not be deterred by their lack of friends who work in a meat factory. Come drink the raw eggs of the Rocky franchise with us and go the distance on this discussion as we run up the steps of the metaphorical Philadelphia Museum of Art in this retrospective on Rocky (1976), the influences it had on an entire genre, and the legacy of Sly Stallone's Philly Underdog.
