His whole life was a million to one shot. This week we go the distance with Liam's choice of Rocky. Join your favourite transatlantic film review crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia – as we head to the bustling streets of Philadelphia to catch oranges and run some steps. We're in deep training for our 31st episode as we discuss:
- The backstory behind how the financing for Rocky came out
- How many Stallones are in this film
- Who else was up for the role of Adrian before it went to Thalia Shire
- What cinematic innovation was showcased for one of the first times in the famous theatre steps scene
- How profoundly problematic some of the scenes in this film are
- What were some of the last minute budgetary changes that changed scenes for the better
- The closure of Cineworld and the delay of No Time To Die
- We talk about our upcoming Halloween episode and how you can be involved in deciding what we review for a special Oct 31st episode
- Whether or not Rocky is the Best Film Ever.
