I remember the hullabaloo when they moved it back to the art museum from the Spectrum. How does the art museum feel about the rocky statue today? Are they mad that people run up the steps but don't go inside?

Great questions!
For those who may not know the background, the Museum steps was the place where the statue was installed for the filming of Rocky III, left there, moved around to other sites including the now demolished-Spectrum, and then returned to a place at the bottom of the steps. We cover the story and relationship between the Art Museum and the Rockyverse in Episode 1 of the podcast.
The museum and Rockyverse are beginning to co-exist in more meaningful ways. I hope there are more public programs recognizing this. I got a Rocky pin at the museum gift shop!
