Jesse Starcher and Mark Radulich present their Rocky IV 1985 Soundtrack Review!

With Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago
The Ultimate Director’s Cut Fathom Event in theaters to celebrate the film’s 35th anniversary we’re looking back at our Rocky IV movie review. The new director’s cut will be available on demand beginning Nov. 12.

Rocky IV 1985 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. It was released on November 27, 1985 on the Scotti Brothers label.

The soundtrack was hugely successful on the strength of two top-five singles, Survivor’s “Burning Heart” (which Sylvester Stallone personally commissioned for the film and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100) and James Brown’s “Living in America”, as well as Robert Tepper’s lone top-40 hit, “No Easy Way Out”. It reached the top ten on the US Billboard 200 album chart and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.

It is the only score to a Rocky film not composed by Bill Conti, but does feature some music he composed for the first film.

Radulich in Broadcasting’s Beginnings

Mark Radulich has been an internet personality since 2004 with his Progressive Conservatism blog. He then took that blog to the airwaves and created a podcast for it. It then changed to PC Live. After that, he brought out the 411mania Ground and Pound Radio as well.

Also, Mark would partner up with another 411mania alum, Sean Comer, to create the movie franchise review podcast Long Road to Ruin and then Robert Cooper to create the metal album review podcast, The Metal Hammer of Doom. Robert Winfree took over the MMA show and then added his own podcast, Everybody Loves a Bad Guy. That’s when the Radulich in Broadcasting Network was born. Joining Winfree in having their own podcasts were super fan Jesse Starcher (Source Material). Finally, Winfree and Radulich added a weekly movie review show to the ever-growing lists of podcasts on the Network.

Jesse Starcher

Podcasts are one of the greatest mediums ever. 10 years ago Jesse found himself driving back and forth to work with over an hour of travel time. Talk radio became something that he enjoyed and helped kill time during the commute. The problem was NPR never stayed completely interesting and his only other options were the ESPN network and the local channel that hosted religious programming. Always the same show… at the same time. It was pretty limited. About three years ago he discovered Podcasts and it changed how he spent much of his time. It opened up options to great niche content that he never even knew was available. After that, he got his first podcast gig on the From the Cheap Seats sports podcast with Jayson Teasley and became a co-host shortly after that.

His real passion, however, was comics. He managed to talk Mark Radulich into letting him do the network’s premier comic book podcast Source Material. This would give him a platform to chat with friends about one of his favorite hobbies. A tremendous opportunity. Also, recently Jesse has worked his way into becoming the third co-host, alongside Mark Radulich and Robert Cooper, of the Metal Hammer of Doom podcast. He loves music and a podcast about heavy-metal right up his alley.
