Podcast: We Hate MoviesPublished On: Tue Nov 10 2026
Description: “So you’re saying this is better than the Escape Plan franchise?” - EricOn this week’s episode, We ❤️ Movies month continues as we chat about one of the best sports dramas of all time, Rocky! How incredible is all the human, non-boxing stuff here? Isn’t this film way better since we have all these salt-of-the-earth actors (and non-actors) filling the frame? Could these shooting locations have doubled in Rossellini’s Germany Year Zero? How great is Butkus Stallone? And was there ever a better heavyweight than Burgess Meredith? PLUS: Adrian invents Star Trek slash fiction! Rocky stars Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith, Thayer David, Joe Spinell, Al Silvani, Stan Shaw, and Butkus Stallone as Butkus the Dog; directed by John Avildsen.This episode is brought to you in part by Gametime!
