A film degree.

Michael Jordan has a degree in geography, crazier things have happened. I know i would rather hear Dan and Drews inebriated opinion on geography though.

Dolph Lundgren has a master's degree in chemical engineering.

About to do this thing. Do they explain the robot? I get that there is a robot, and the robot exists, but WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?! WHY IS THERE A FUCKING ROBOT IN THIS MOVIE?!?!?! ITS CRAZY AND MAKES NO SENSE!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Seriously every time I watch this movie the robot blows my fucking mind. It is insane and out of place and just fucking crazy.

There is a damn robot. In a rocky movie. It almost has a central role.

Also, @danryckert I triple and quadruple the YOU SHOULD WATCH HAJIME NO IPPO sentiment. A series about boxing. Forget that it is an anime. It is about being the best, most ultimate cool dude you can posssibly be through hard work and dedication to your craft. The first time Ippo whips out the Dempsey Roll you will be hooked. Seriously, its fucking awesome.

Finally got a chance to sit down and experience this. Everything synced up perfectly,to the point where when they raised the movie audio I thought there was an issue with my tv. Hope they keep it up.

I actually explained it earlier in the comments. That robot wasn't a movie prop. That's was Sylvester Stallone's actual robot that he actually bought from this actual company which sold actual robots to actual rich guys.

This was one movie that i saw on TV as a kid and i enjoyed watching again with you guys(@drewbert and @danryckert).

I vote for Red October for the next episode. I think Dan would enjoy it as he's a huge Metal Gear fan.

Finally got around to getting a copy of the movie. You know, Tony Burton is the secret ingredient of the Rocky movies. He starts as Apollo's friend and trainer in the first two movies, and then in the third moves into training Rocky against Mr. T and follows him through here and into Rocky Balboa as Rocky's trainer in that movie.

Cool feature and love this movie. But Lol Dan. If boxing was really like this, every fight would end in the first round and boxers would have a life expectancy of <30. They just stand there and take full punches to the head without bothering to block at all.
