When Ivan Drago said, "I must break you" in Rocky IV, we thought he was telling Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa just what he was about to do to him. Now, it seems clear that he was talking about the emotional havoc Creed II would wreak on our very own Chris Hewitt just over three decades later. In this very special spoiler podcast dedicated to the second film in the Creed franchise, and the eighth in the Rocky series, Chris sits down with the film's director, Steven Caple Jr., for an interesting chat about many of the film's most emotional moments, from the final fight to deleted scenes and the film's unexpected reconciliations and cameos.
Then, in the podbooth, Chris is joined by James Dyer and mega Rocky fan, and Empire Editor-in-Chief, Terri White, to dig deeper into Creed II. And along the way, the world record for saying the phrase, "this film broke me," is shattered. We must break it. Enjoy.
