#antebellumfilmschool: Special Episode - Remembering Carl Weathers
So he had this kind of underrated prestige to him where we saw him acting throughout the 1970s. The. If you go back and remember action Jackson, which in Itself is a 1980s black exploitation film. And he appeared in Predator besides Arnold Schwarzenegger. And he was really a part of this culture of action heroes that for whatever reason, I think he kind of gets looked over

And just listening to what you were saying, in my mind, I was looking back and I could see those different things. Some of the movies I had watched, some I had not. But he did have a special presence when he stepped into the room. And I'm sorry to hear that he has passed away, but that's a part of life. Death is a part of life

I am neither a huge Carl Weathers fan or a big movie buck, cuz I really don't know how much outside of the Rocky series, which I think I've only seen Rocky one and maybe part of another and, and that Adam Sandler movie he played in, I've probably seen him other places. But, you know, it's what's interesting about him, I don't, you know, I've never really looked up to people in a way where I wanted to be them

But then I think that this is like when the thing that we do, it's like, it's sad, but it's not really sad because we didn't know him directly. And like you said, you're not even a big fan. But now you see Harvey's thing about him. You see people talking about him

I'm definitely in the same camp as you, where I didn't see the first Rocky movie. Actually, I saw the fourth one, not the third one first, which, if we're being honest, gave a lot more expectations to that entire series because that fourth one was classic beyond classic. There has hasn't been any other movie that had more one liners than that fourth rocky movie. I always call it the Dirty Dancing for men movie. But, yeah, good job. Great analysis
