🎙️ The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow – Season 7, Episode 15: Rocky (1976)
This week we lace up the gloves and run up the Philadelphia steps as we celebrate one of cinema’s greatest underdog stories – Rocky. Written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, this 1976 classic proved that heart, grit, and sheer determination can turn a million-to-one shot into movie history.
In this episode we cover: 🎵 What Happened Way Back When (1976) – the biggest songs, films, and TV shows of the year, each with 5 fun facts. 🥊 The Dangerous Deep Dive – the history of Rocky, how Stallone wrote the script, the cast and characters, a full plot breakdown, the aftermath of its release, and its lasting legacy as a cultural icon. ⚡ Retro Rumble – Rocky vs. Raging Bull – which boxing film takes the title belt? 📺 Back in the Ads – those gritty trailers that sold Rocky as the ultimate underdog. 💎 Dangerously Underrated – the love story of Rocky and Adrian, the true heart of the film. 🌟 One Season Wonder – The Fantastic Journey (1977), a Bermuda Triangle sci-fi oddity with 5 surprising facts. ⚖️ Better Than / Worse Than – where Rocky stands compared to other retro favourites, with a tease of next week’s episode: Defenders of the Earth.
It’s blood, sweat, heart, and nostalgia – so join us as we go the distance with the Italian Stallion!
Next week: we swap boxing gloves for ray guns and dive into the chaos of Monk
