710. Creed 3 (2023)

*The graphic T-H-E-W-A-R-L-O-C-K scrolls by to the Rocky theme as The Warlock sprints down the street. He’s wearing a New England Patriots Superbowl 49 Champions hat, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He runs up his steps and into the lair and raises his arms*

W: Welcome to my lair…welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock throws a couple of left jabs and a right hook before walking inside*

W: Welcome to a special night here at Warlock’s Movie Realm. As you all know, we’ve covered every single Rocky and Creed movie going all the way back to the first……except one. Last year I was supposed to see tonight’s movie in theaters but I actually didn’t. For the first time ever I’m going into one of these blind. Tonight’s movie is the 2023 action drama CREED 3.

*Neyzor Blades is in the recliner wearing standard attire*

N: They made another one?

W: Yup, I just missed it when it was in theaters. But not tonight! So what’s CREED 3 about? Donny Creed is the heavyweight champ living life as a husband and a father but an old friend from the past comes back and challenges him not only to a fight but life as well. Now there is a sad note, Sylvester Stallone is NOT in the movie thus ending his affiliation with the Rocky/Creed franchise. However, Michael B Jordan himself is in the director’s chair so anything that happens here on in is up to him. Unless they want to utilize Clubber Lang’s grandson in a potential Creed 4, this might be the end of the franchises after nearly 50 years.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: Like I said, I’m going into this completely blind so I have no idea what to expect. Let’s see how they pull this off without Stallone. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for CREED 3.

*Neyz reads the tag-line*

N: “Adonis has been thriving in both his career and family life, but when a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy resurfaces, the face-off is more than just a fight.”

W: I know it won’t be, but it would be hilarious if its Clubber Lang’s son.
