Rocky
Monday, 30 March, 2026
There are few films as powerfully inspirational as "Rocky". For 50 years the Italian Stallion's tale of yearning, striving, and going the distance has truly made us feel that it is always sunny in Philadelphia. We're joined by podcasters Dave Jackson ("Tales From The Backlog") and Alan Nichols ("A Top 3 Podcast") to celebrate a film that truly punches above its weight class. You can support Dave at https://www.patreon.com/realdavejackson Be sure to also check out our monthy musical podcast, "Playing By Ear" (https://playingbyear.fireside.fm) and our limited-run Jim Henson Series, "Still Muppeting" (patreon.com/stillloadingpod).
