About Now Playing Podcast Presents: The Rocky / Creed Retrospective Series

It started with an underdog from Philadelphia who got one shot at the heavyweight champion of the world. Decades later, that story has grown into one of cinema's most beloved and enduring franchises, spanning generations of fighters, families, rivals, and champions. In this series, Now Playing Podcast steps into the ring with every Rocky and Creed film, following the journey from Rocky Balboa's unlikely rise to the top through the next generation led by Adonis Creed. Along the way we'll witness legendary training montages, unforgettable championship bouts, crushing defeats, hard-earned victories, and the personal struggles that take place outside the ropes. More than a boxing saga, these films explore ambition, perseverance, friendship, family, legacy, and the determination to keep moving forward when life knocks you down. Whether facing Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, Tommy Gunn, Damian Anderson, or the challenges of aging and loss, the fighters at the heart of this franchise are always battling for something greater than a title belt. Join us as we review every punch, every triumph, every setback, and every comeback in the Rocky and Creed series. And with new contenders always waiting for their shot, this is one franchise that may not have heard the final bell.
