The thirty-third entry of the 2020-2021 Film Journal is "Rocky V". In this special installment, I recount my unique and personal history with the "Rocky" series, which is a strange, parallel chronicle of both the titular protagonist's life and my own last two years. Then, I examine the narrative of this entry in the saga, particular how the piece compared to my expectations and reflected myself as 2021 begins to come to an end.
