In this episode, we’re stepping back into the ring with Rocky II, the powerful follow-up to the original underdog story that started it all. Sylvester Stallone writes, directs, and stars in this emotional and action-packed sequel that continues Rocky Balboa's journey from humble beginnings to boxing legend.
After going the distance with Apollo Creed in the first film, Rocky finds himself torn between settling into a quiet life with Adrian and answering the call for a rematch he never expected. With financial struggles, personal doubts, and a relentless Apollo demanding another fight, Rocky II raises the stakes while holding onto the heart and grit that made the original so beloved.
We dive into how the film expands Rocky’s world, deepens his character, and delivers one of the most iconic training montages and final bouts in sports movie history. Whether you're a longtime fan or watching for the first time, this is a sequel that packs a punch in more ways than one.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
