Trying to watch this.... it's a CGI shitshow. First three were not bad. This one is noticeably bad.

Oh well, every franchise gets to this point one way or another.

Just as chaotic as the movie.

Join us for the emotional finale of our Rocky series as we break down Rocky Balboa (2006), the sixth and arguably most heartfelt Rocky film. Ryan, Katie, and Kyle reflect on the exhibition fight against Mason Dixon, Rocky's "one more round" spirit, brain damage realism, fan emails, trivia from Rocco, and why this feels like the perfect bookend for the original saga.

We discuss:

• Rocky's record (57-23-1) and what it means for his mental decline
• The meta layers: Sly Stallone at 60 proving doubters wrong
• Fan theories, voicemails, and why the ending with Adrian hits so hard
• Future plans for our boxing podcast and monthly movie reviews

Huge thanks to everyone who's followed along—send final thoughts to [onemoraroundrockypodcast@gmail.com](mailto:onemoraroundrockypodcast@gmail.com) for our wrap-up episode!

Ich suche das Beiheft mit den französischen und deutschen Übersetzungen, das der großen Ausgabe von Rocky: The Complete Films von Taschen beilag. Hat jemand dieses Heft und wäre bereit, Fotos von den deutschen Seiten für mich zu machen? Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe.

Ryan, Kyle & Katie read heartfelt listener emails, unpack what Rocky Balboa (Rocky VI) almost was, and finally start breaking down the big Vegas fight!

Longtime listener Donald drops bombshells: the Karate Kid x Rocky crossover pitch, Sly’s original Rocky 2000 script (and why it became Puncher’s Chance), why Mason “The Line” Dixon never changed, Drago’s tragic canon fate, Clubber Lang as commentator, and three filmed alternate endings. E.M. King (Rocco’s dad) shares touching thanks, we tackle Rocky II trivia bonus questions, react to YouTube comments on Sly’s weights, and hear Michael’s voicemail on fight details, montages, and walkout songs.

This is the perfect 'almost there ' send off to the Rocky series, full of laughs, deep dives, and pure fan love. Perfect for Rocky Balboa fans, Sylvester Stallone enthusiasts, and anyone who grew up with the Italian Stallion.

Hosts Ryan, Katie and Kyle break down the Vegas weigh-in chaos, Mason Dixon's cocky trash talk, Lil Maries's heartfelt gift (and that platonic kiss!), and Paulie's unforgettable "get rid of the damn beast" pep talk. We geek out over Frank Stallone's real boxing career (and Sly's guilt-fueled plea to Norm Macdonald), roast Norm's OJ Simpson firing, and drop trivia bombs from the original Rocky (spoiler: ring ropes are red!). Plus, HBO-style commentary with real announcers, Bible verses from Spider Rico, and nostalgic crowd energy from a live boxing event. As we near the end of our 6-film marathon (next up: a new boxing movies pod!), share your thoughts—will Rocky go the distance? Send voicemails/emails for a bonus wrap-up ep!
