What happens when a movie franchise thinks they don’t have to stop at Trilogy Station? You get a Runaway Franchise! In this podcast we watch, make fun of, and rank each movie in a franchise with 4 or more movies in it. The goal? To ultimately decide what is the greatest and the absolute worst Runaway Franchise of all time! The hosts have been friends for the better part of 20 years, so they're not afraid to hurt each other's feelings.

63: Rocky Balboa (2006) – The Runaway Franchise Podcast
No guest spot this week but the boys enter the retirement home to face up against 2006's Rocky Balboa…in what might be the most challenging sad, bummer movie the Runaway Contenders have ever faced. Did this movie bring the hard-hitting inspirational classic that the Boyz have come to enjoy during the Rocky Franchise? Or did it make them crawl in a hole and die…?
In the Lobby:
The boys get hyped for next episode's special guest, Eisner, Harvey and Glyph Award Nominated Letterer and Creator, Deron Bennett! Listen next week to learn more about him and his thoughts on the movie Creed!

The Franchise Playas enter the ring to face-off with 1990's Rocky V! But this time Rocky is ringside while Tommy "The Machine" Gunn tries to replicate the knockout successes of the former entries. Check out if Ed, Dom and Tom embrace this new contender or do they feel abandoned by Rocky and start hanging out with a bunch of coconuts smoking at a street corner after being very disrespectful to Santa? You gotta listen to find out!
In the Lobby:
Leagues to Deep Blue Sea is HOTLY contested! Ed reads over a 100 leagues in this episode, but who had the single most leagues?! How many leagues is TOO deep?! Ed might metaphorically drown in these reading of Leagues to Deep Blue Sea! (Might even be literally!!!)
Also! Spooky scary emails keep coming in! And even more evidence arises to point to who may be the despicable, detestable, damnable, depraved that keeps terrorizing the podcast! Pic in the Shownotes for the indecipherable evidence.

059: Rocky II (1979) – The Runaway Franchise Podcast
This week the Box-away Boys watched Rocky II from 1979. Did this movie get Dom, Ed and Tom pumped to beat up the air or some fools, or did they slip into a coma for this cultural classic?

Customer Reviews
Tom Napolitano got me pregnant
I've listened to a few podcasts in my short miserable life and this one is by far the only podcast worth listening as often as humanly possible. I will probably kill myself if this podcast ever ends. This counts as a suicide note, right? Record more episodes or donate my body to science. This is the second time I've tried to post this review. Very funny 10/10.
This podcast ended awhile back and now according to my previous review I have to kill myself.
Bye.
Your misery brings me joy
It's not that I want these guys to be in pain. Far from it. It's just that with each new franchise, as they go deeper, the will to live starts to clearly drain from their voices and it delights me in ways that most people would be uncomfortable admitting.
I get it. I really do. I love movies. I REALLY love bad movies. And, generally, as these franchises go on, things just get worse. (Fast and Furious is an outlier because the best movie is arguably the fifth.) But listening to people go through the same process I do with insisting on watching movies that you pretty much know are going to be terrible is very comforting.
Way to go, fellas. Way to bring me a semblance of joy on my commute to work by reassuring me that most sequels are terrible.
Great show!
If you're a movie lover like I am, you'll love this podcast! Give it a whirl
