Where else can you go after turning your title character into a comic book character? If you’re Sylvester Stallone, it’s take him back to his roots. Bring back original director John G Avildsen. Put Adrian right back in that pet store. Move right back into that Rocky II apartment. And wax nostalgic about clothes you wore in the previous entries.

Who would have ever thought a prize fighter from Philadelphia would have been able to go to America’s number one Cold War enemy the Soviet Union, cause peace between the two bitter sides, and defeat those commie bastards once and for all? In 1985, that’s exactly where screenwriter/star/director Sylvester Stallone took his Oscar winning character of Rocky Balboa. Oh, and let’s not forget that same year’s Ramb...

Rocky 3 marked a turn for the franchise. Not just for its lead star. But it marked the first time the series went from full on human drama emphasized by boxing. To a boxing movie with hints of drama here and there. We also see a changing of the guard as Burgess Meredith’s Micky is killed off, and Apollo steps in, as he goes from Rocky’s arch nemesis to his boxing trainer. Oh, and did we mention two people by the names o...

At the very end of 1976’s Rocky, our title character makes it clear that he doesn’t want a rematch. But, Hollywood and boxing are extremely similar in that if something is successful, people will clamor for more. But writer/star Sylvester Stallone found himself ignoring those calls. Instead, he wanted to to prove that he wasn’t a one trick pony. But after his directorial debut Paradise Alley and the Norman Jewison...

After taking Toy Story to task and having each hosts’ list of favorites of that series be different from one another, how do you follow a series like that up?? How about stepping outside and finding out!
Here is yet another series Garrett has done in the past. But while Adam and him had plenty of Rocky marathons together as teenagers, they haven’t spoken about these films on the air. As for Matt, he came into the serie...

After going through the entire Toy Story franchise, the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast has decided to do a little house cleaning. The Odyssey will come in due time. But until then (and the end of the first leg of their next series), they review the latest film in one of the site’s most acrimonious series. The DC series.
After being released to huge fanfare last year (and despite Garrett’s negative review of it) ...

For the 3rd time in this retrospective, the three co-hosts ask the same question: why and how do we have another Toy Story movie?

Conceived and released between Toy Story 4 and 5, 2022’s Lightyear is the first film released within the Toy Story universe to be considered a flop. Rejected by audiences and critics alike, there is no reason two people who hadn’t seen it before would come away liking it.
But that, as they say, is why we record the podcast. Listen to this review of Lightyear as both Garrett and Adam watch it for the very first time. I...

Toy Story 3, for all intents and purposes, was the perfect end to the original Toy Story trilogy (well, maybe not in Adam’s eyes if you listen to that podcast). Woody and company were in safe hands with Bonnie, Andy was completely out of the picture while earning a college degree, and John Lasseter was ousted from the company under creepy circumstances. No, I’m not going to recap those here.
So the question has to be a...

In what is going to become a theme for this entire series, no one thought there was any way Toy Story 2 could have a sequel. Just the work alone in getting that film done and out to the masses, only to become a massive hit, meant Pixar would be playing with fire if they decided to make a Toy Story 3.
But with all the resources at their disposal (no employee with a copy on their hard drive would be needed to save the film this time...

When Toy Story became the surprise hit of 1995, newly minted Pixar knew they had to follow it up. But director John Lasseter had another passion project he wanted to do first, which turned out to be A Bug’s Life. With another hit on his hands, Lasseter knew that it was time to follow up his original hit. But how do you follow up a beloved film that not only took Hollywood by storm, but also built a whole studio?
The answer t...

Seven years following the release of Rise of Skywalker, it is once again time to talk about an entry in the Star Wars universe. However, this time it’s not a juggernaut that stays on top of the box office for weeks and weeks. This time, Jon Favreau and company fell victim to two YouTube phenoms who came and took the box office over like a sand storm on Tatooine. So, what happened?

Now that The Dark Tower is out of the way, it’s time to dive into perhaps author Stephen King’s most well regarded book of stories -or novellas- Different Seasons. But before we get to Apt Pupil and Stand By Me, we review the adaptation of the first story in the volume, a little film called The Shawshank Redemption.
With Rob Reiner (eventually) giving first time feature director Frank Darabont the chance to adapt the s...
