'Rocky Balboa' podcast
Sylvester Stallone discusses climbing back into the ring for one last shot at glory.
Jan 25 2007
Cinemagoers are obviously interested in the Italian Stallion's return to the ring as 'Rocky Balboa' has had the UK biggest opening weekend of Sylvester Stallone's career, raking in nearly £4 million and easily beating the celluloid competition to a pulp.
We therefore thought you might like to hear a podcast on the subject, recorded with Sly when he was in town to promote the seventh film in the franchise (as well as, bizarrely, to attend Everton match).
So to hear me waxing lyrical about a film I really wasn't expecting to like, and Stallone discussing the difficulties involved in getting back into shape for one final fight, download the MP3 here.
