In this episode, Joel and Tyson go the distance with Rocky Balboa (2006) – the emotional sixth entry in Sylvester Stallone’s legendary boxing saga. They dive into how this film redeems Rocky V, why Stallone still brings raw heart and grit to the role decades later, and how the themes of aging, legacy, and fighting spirit still pack a punch.
From the heartbreaking “stuff in the basement” speech to the adrenaline of the climactic fight, Rocky Balboa proves that the Italian Stallion wasn’t done yet. If you love underdog stories, motivational sports films, or just miss the old-school VHS days, this is one you’ll want to revisit.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the resurrected mess known as Frankie and His Pals (1990) — a nearly lost shot-on-video horror comedy featuring a group of classic monsters on a fart-filled treasure hunt.
Originally shelved for decades and only recently released by Terror Vision, this micro-budget flick has it all:
Frankenstein’s monster with a valley girl voice
A musical number about treasure
Joke cemetery tombstones
And way more fart jokes than anyone asked for
🎥 Shot in a real California ghost town with a cast of unknowns and a VHS camcorder, Frankie and His Pals is either charming DIY genius... or 60 minutes of slow-motion pain. We break it all down with the affection only true horror weirdos can bring.
👀 Topics Covered:
History of the movie's rediscovery
Why SOV films are a vibe
Monster tropes gone sideways
Why this might be so bad it’s good
Is this a lost gem or a moldy mess?
