Rocky @ 50 Years Old (& Rocky Balboa @ 20 Years Old)

ADRIAN! The latest MovieVersaries ep has dropped, and it’s a knockout double bill!

Rocky, the Best Picture Winner from 1976 (also winning Best Director and Best Editing in a stacked year), turns 50 this year, so Ian Buckley invites his close friend Tim Dowd (Plan Z Productions) to discuss the amazing legacy of the little boxing movie that could, while also confronting their mortality as they remember watching Rocky Balboa together in the cinema 20 Years Ago.

It’s hard to imagine American films without, at some point, considering the 2 massive characters Sylvester Stallone played on numerous occasions, Rocky and Rambo. It all starts here. From background stories of the production, to the Capital A Abuse of Paulie, Ian and Tim go the full 12 Rounds with the material on show from these 2 movies, one perhaps better than the other.
