5 spin-offs down the road, they will have one about the migrant worker who crossed the deadly Mexican border to end up as janitorial staff in the company which did the engineering for Paulie’s robot. The migrant worker’s grandson will now be coached by Rocky’s grand-nephew in a tour de force of a final grand audition…
