Rated G. If Rocky don’t swear, we don’t swear much none either.
Our 105th Next 100 Project podcastaroo goes back to Philly as the son of The Count Of Monte Fisto punches his way into the elderly Eye-talian Stallion’s lonely life. Michael B. Jordan is strong as Adonis Creed and Ryan Coogler’s writing & direction are top-notch, but the stand-out here is Sly Stallone, who’s doing the finest work of his spotty career. What a dynamite sequel/reboot in a legendary (and often legendarily dumb) franchise! We dedicate this episode to Geoff Wall (reasons within).
