Welcome back to Talky Balboa, the podcast that takes you the distance with in-depth discussions of the Rocky franchise! This week, we're tackling the often-maligned, the controversial, the… Rocky V. Considered by many the black sheep of the family, this film took a sharp turn from the bombastic heights of Rocky IV, leaving many fans feeling more bruised than triumphant.

Join Logan and Ty as they step back into the ring (or perhaps the street?) to dissect Rocky V. Was it a knockout? A stumble? Or something in between? They'll delve into the film's unique 90s hip-hop vibes, exploring how this stylistic shift impacted the overall feel of the movie and its departure from the previous installments. They'll also examine the financial woes that plague the Balboa family and the complex mentor-student relationship between Rocky and Tommy "The Machine" Gunn - and of course young Robert.

Was Rocky V a misstep or a misunderstood masterpiece? Tune in to find out! And don't forget to share your own thoughts on this divisive chapter in the Rocky saga.
