Sylvester Stallone

This is the greatest example that I have of him not listening to the last 90 minutes of our show.

Go ahead and let's see if you can name five Sylvester Stallone movies.

Oh, nice.

Let's, let's do this as a- Nice.

You know what? I'll give you one.

I'll give you the Rocky franchise as one, so name four Sylvester Stallone movies.

Go ahead.

Me?

Yeah.

You worked with, uh, s- with, uh, S- Sylvester Stallone, right?

I worked with Stallone, yeah.

Oscar, was the name of the movie?

Oscar, yeah.

With that down, let's move on to this.

You know, when they first announced the movie I Play Rocky, and the idea of, uh, it's kind of a very finite period of time of a biography in the life of Sylvester Stallone as he was trying to get the movie Rocky made, so it could be a vehicle for him to star in it.

I thought, "Well, that's stupid.

Uh, that, that sounds like a really dumb idea."

As of this recording, and it may be different when you look, but as of this recording, I Play Rocky, uh, is holding an 86%.

And let's go over right now and take a look at some of the reviews that are coming in on it.

Brian Tallerico from RogerEbert.com wrote, uh, "As Stallone battles homelessness, finds love, and writes his way into a cultural phenomenon, Farley and his team land their punches in remarkably cl- crowd-pleasing ways." Ty Burr liked it.

He write, uh, "Ippolito recovers the human under the layers of waxy pop culture buildup and reminds you of why the country fell for the guy in the first place." IGN Movies, Eric Goldman, really liked it.

Nevertheless, it depicts Nordic extraterrestrials interacting with humans as far back as 1776, in, in particular America and our presidents.

And then you have Sylvester Stallone, uh, talking about Trump being the next George Washington and likening him to the, the path of Jesus, the mission of Jesus.

So we'll play this, and I know this is all triggering stuff, but we're just kind of connecting the dots here, guys.

And, and this, it, it's just interesting to me that they keep emphasizing George Washington, and now they're basically kind of telling us, you know, this was a time travel effort to go back and fix the timeline, and there's a lot more to this than the average person, person would, uh, believe.

Right.

Well, let's, let's play this again here, or let's finish playing this clip.

Which is, which is what Sylvester Stallone said right there.

Right.

Well, and, and, like, the, uh, I just shared again today 'cause I love this clip.

It's, um, Sylvester Stallone being interviewed about Rocky, saying how it's actually a Christian story, and, like, it's a whole thing.

The, the beginning of the movie, it shows Jesus.

It pans down to him getting pummeled, and it's, like, showing the audience that he's this chosen one.

I purposely did not put any of the Rockies on because it's only a couple weeks ago where we did all Rockies.

It was Sylvester Stallone's, like, 80th birthday.

So I said, we're doing all Rockies today.

You got to know which one.

This is different.

This is about the making of Rocky.

How Sylvester Stallone brought the movie to the-

Because he funded it himself, pretty much.

I know you have two kids.

Do you prefer Frank or do you prefer Sly?

Always Frank.

And why is that?

Sly doesn't love me.

He doesn't call you?

He doesn't call me.

He doesn't love me anymore.

He's so...

He's talking about hanging out with Stallone and Wesley Snipes on the show.

It's so cool.

He's like, we're going to be in demolition.

he might lose the title maybe we'll end up getting johnny gunn versus rick flair for the title i

also do notice a very a big difference of how they call the champion the champion like the way that they describe the title it is no longer the nwa world championship it is not just the nwa heavyweight championship which i'm like okay you clearly already have like plans to unify this you can see it's kind of

They talk about Jesse getting killed by Stallone during this.

And that's when I write down demolition, man.

But that's an action movie through and through.

That's like Stallone's Schwarzenegger

type shit.

Somebody told me Lethal Weapon wasn't a cop movie.
