What follows is one of the film’s most important father-son scenes: an olive branch, a talk about deceptions and mistakes, the cigarette thrown to the ground, and the simple, powerful “home team” moment that brings them back together.\nThe episode then jumps to the Union Kane vs. Tommy Gunn title fight. Rocky watches from the basement, still calling out advice as if he’s in the corner. Tommy wins by knockout, thanks George Washington Duke instead of the man who got him there, and the crowd makes its feelings clear. Robert’s quiet drawing and Paulie’s offer of a drink close out a stretch that is equal parts reconnection and quiet heartbreak.\nRyan also opens the Skype lines live (with mixed results), plugs The Worst of the Best Podcast, and shares some thoughts on Joker (2019) as a contrast in filmmaking craft.\nIf you enjoy these Rocky deep-dives, check out The Worst of the Best Podcast.
