Welcome to The Todd Pod — where Todd and Todd break down everything from sports to cinema with a twist of absurdity. In this June episode, we dive fist-first into the bizarre, brilliant, and utterly bonkers world of Rocky IV. What begins as nostalgia quickly devolves into a realization: is Rocky IV secretly one of the worst films ever made?

We dissect every single montage (yes, all 7+ of them), the Cold War propaganda, Stallone’s insane training wardrobe, and the glorious absurdity of a movie where 1/3 of the runtime is music videos.

🎬 From the burning heart to the Siberian log lifts, from steroid-fueled Russians to motivational Lambos, we ask: was Rocky IV ever meant to be good—or just loud?

Plus: We talk director’s cuts, Over the Top, and what makes a movie “so bad it’s good.”
