Hosted by veteran broadcaster and former Yankees catcher Fran Healy, the 30-minute episode will present five films from the boxing genre that will be debated by the show’s expert panel to decide the top movie of all-time. The panel of film industry insiders consists of Academy Award-nominated director, producer and actor Spike Lee; Emmy Award-winning actor and writer Robert Wuhl; Academy Award-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri; and acclaimed film critic Jeffrey Lyons. Boxing great Gerry Cooney is also featured in the episode and weighs in on his favorite boxing films: “Jake LaMotta is a very good friend of mine and that was really him…he was the guy who was against the odds and he stuck it out and became Champion of the World,” said Cooney about Raging Bull. “He’s what boxing is really about. When you look at boxing in the dictionary his picture’s next to it.” “Rocky was one of the greatest films in my life…I was just a kid then, 18 or so,” remembers Cooney. “I just turned pro and I remember (Rocky) having a little brandy with an egg in the morning. And I remember the next day getting a little brandy with an egg. That was the last time I did it.” Additional guests in the boxing episode include actors John Leguizamo and Steve Schirripa and television personality Keith Olberman, who all agreed that Raging Bull is on the top of their list.
