On this week's show, the Summer of Sly continues with a look at 1976's Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone,  

Carl Weathers, Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith, and Burt Young. While not their first movie roles, this was the "big one" for many among this fantastic cast; most notably Stallone.

As both writer and star, this drama disguised as a boxing movie made Stallone an overnight success, and is arguably the pinnacle of his monstrously successful 60 year career in show business. The results of which are several Academy Award nominations (an adjacent "W"), and a box office gross of several billion dollars. Plus, saying good-bye to the legend that was Paul Reubens.
