Cathy and Todd discuss Rocky III (1982), the Sylvester Stallone-written and directed sequel that introduced Mr. T’s iconic Clubber Lang and took the franchise in a bold new direction, grossing over $270 million worldwide. They dive into behind-the-scenes stories and standout moments, unpack the evolution of Rocky from hungry underdog to complacent champion, and explore how the film deepens Apollo Creed’s role as both rival and mentor while setting up one of the most emotional turning points in the series.
