Rocky V (Episode 15) - The Street Fight That Ends It All (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ryan and Ruban finally reunite to close out Rocky V and Season 5 of Going the Distance. After the press conference, Tommy is still boiling about living in Rocky’s shadow. Duke fans the flames and pushes the challenge that leads straight to the street. What follows is the chaotic bare-knuckle brawl outside the gym — wild haymakers, CNC Music Factory crashing into Bill Conti’s score, Rocky Jr yelling “he took my room,” Adrian trying to stop it, and Rocky finally putting Tommy down for good.

Read excerpt
Ryan and guest host Kyle dig into one of the most frustrating stretches of Rocky V: the slow-motion collapse of Tommy Gunn.
