Join me as I review the iconic film that captures the essence of human triumph. In this episode, I will be diving deep into Rocky 2, the sequel to the Academy Award-winning classic, Rocky. Sylvester Stallone returns as Rocky Balboa, a boxer who defies the odds and went the distance in part one. This time around, he's faced with new challenges, both in and out of the ring, as he fights to prove that his first fight against Apollo Creed wasn't just a fluke and how he can go from underdog to champion. In this show, I'll take a closer look at the film's themes of perseverance, determination, and the indomitable human spirit.
