Going The Distance: The Rocky Series Podcast

Ryan is joined by special guest host Adrian Wallet (Arcade Attack Retro Gaming Podcast) for one of the most emotionally charged stretches of Rocky V.

Robert and Rocky finally sit down and hash out their issues after the Christmas blow-up. Adrian reaches her limit — she calls out Tommy and makes an urgent plea to Rocky to put their family first before everything falls apart. At the same time, Rocky makes one last desperate attempt to keep Tommy from crossing over to George Washington Duke’s side, begging him not to go to the “dark side.”

Ryan and Adrian break down the father-son reconciliation attempt, Adrian’s powerful stand for the family, and Rocky’s heartbreaking realization that he may be losing both his son and his fighter in the same breath.
