| 0:00.0 | Hello, cinephiles fans. This is John Roca and this is Steve Morris. And this is an unusual |
| 0:06.3 | preview that we're doing this week because we're very excited to be doing a cinephiles live |
| 0:11.1 | episode this weekend on Sunday at 4 p.m. p. t to talk about Rocky IV and the director's cut as |
| 0:19.6 | well as the original cut and give it some love here. Steve, are you excited about this? I mean, |
| 0:25.8 | as a director, is there so much to talk about here? How much are you looking forward to having |
| 0:30.0 | this live episode with the cinephiles fans to talk about Rocky IV and the director's cut version? |
| 0:34.4 | What's so funny is so you've seen the the new one, right? I did. Yes. I had it not night. It was |
| 0:40.4 | oh really? So I'm probably going to watch it tonight or tomorrow night and I am I have a lot |
| 0:46.4 | of trepidation. I have a lot of excitement. Rocky IV has never the things I love about Rocky IV I |

| 1:17.6 | I did not 100%. So a lot of people said it's the director's cut. Yes, usually it means a longer |
| 1:23.5 | movie, but not necessarily the case in this. He took out a lot of the montages. And so I wonder if |
| 1:29.5 | the things that you that bothered you about the film back in the 80s or since you've seen it |
| 1:34.4 | are now gone. And so you can maybe even like the film now in this version. So it's going to be |
| 1:39.9 | fun to discuss it with you and discuss it with our cinephile fans as well. Well, it's so interesting |
| 1:45.8 | because first of all, when it came out, make no mistake. I loved it. My chart was fantastic. |
| 1:52.8 | It was only, you know, and particularly when I went through my snooty, snooty film school stage |
| 1:57.6 | that I started rejected. But trimming the montages seems crazy to me. The training montage |
| 2:03.8 | where you're going back and forth with him and Drago, that's one of the greatest montages ever made. |
