From Rocky to Creed: Ranking Rocky with Film Critic Joe Leydon

Going toe-to-toe on this pugilistic episode of the Popzara Podcast is challenger Nate “Editor Guy” Evans and special guest Joe Leydon, the triple-threat returning champ who writes, teaches and – on occasion – writes reviews and lists for Variety.com. We say pugilistic because he’s ranked every movie in the long-running Rocky franchise, from the 1976 Oscar-winning original to the recent Creed 2, a sequel within a sequel serving as both the eighth Rocky and second Creed film, continuing the parallel sagas of both Rocky Balboa and Adonis Creed as they face off against a returning Ivan Drago and his monstrously huge scion Viktor in a clash the film itself calls Shakespearean.
