Cocktails and Classics

Rocky: Can This Podcast Go the Distance?

This week, we begin a new themed month, March Madness, where we take a look at some of the classic sports movies. We're starting the month off with a true classic, Rocky. Written and Starring Sly Stallone, Rocky is the story of a small-time boxer who gets a huge break in the form of an opportunity to fight the world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed.

Join us for a round of laughs and analysis with "Rocky":

• Rocky's First Round: Hear Dylan's fresh perspective on this iconic film and share your own first-time memories.
• Beyond the Jab: Question Rocky's romantic techniques with Cameron in a lighthearted discussion.
• Tax Time Trivia: Put your movie knowledge to the test with Zach's boxing tax-themed quiz! Can you dodge the punches?
• Champion Cocktail: Craft an invigorating "Espresso Bourbon Fizz" inspired by Rocky's fighting spirit (recipe included!).
