Roll Film

Do or do not, there is no try! And we hope you DO listen to today's epsiode reviewing the best Star Wars film Disney has ever put out. We are celebrating May the fourth and a guest having her fourth time speaking with us, Mindy King. This is her first time seeing this masterpiece, so listen as two nerds and a noob talking about the film that gave us all hope for Star Wars' future.

It's officially May and you know what that means?! STAR WARS!!!! NOTHING BUT STAR WARS!!! It's Star Wars month on Roll Film and we're going in chronological order starting with Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace. We decided to bring back one of our favorite pop culture guys, and super Star Wars fan Bill Bader to kick this whole thing off. Give us a listen while you give the first prequel a...

APEril is coming to a close and with that we decided to end with the forgotten ape movie, Dunston Checks In. Is this movie worth a viewing? No, but our episode is worth a listen! Thanks for making APEril so fun and get ready for next month when we take a trip to a galaxy far far away.

It's time to conGO and listen to this episode right now! APEril is still going and we got an ape of guest this week with John Bougher joining us to discuss this movie adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Congo. If you are expecting Jurassic Park with gorillas prepare to be surprised! This film is really one you have to see to believe, and our review must be heard to believe.

APEril continues and we got the one that rebooted a franchise that's still going strong today! The Roll Film crew is reviewing Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Listen as we discuss how this movie got the reboot formula right and what other franchises can learn from it. Stop monkeying around and listen already!

It's a new month at Roll Film (actually I think it's a new month for everybody) and that means it's time to welcome you all to APEril! This month Roll Film will be going bananas with reviewing ape filled movies. To kick this gorilla of month off we decided to start with the King himself's new offering Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. We brought veteran guest Alex back to discuss ho...

Like all good things MARCHial arts is coming to an end. So we went big with Amazon's remake of the 80's classic Roadhouse. We also went big with amazing guest Jim White, who is well versed in all things cinema, especially Roadhouse! Listen as we all talk about what makes the original so endearing and the remake so revolting.

MARCHial Arts continues with our first award winning martial arts film and you know we had to bring an award winning guest for this one. Jeff Williams joins us again, and while I'm not sure what award he's won, I'm sure he must have won something at least once...maybe. Today we review Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, maybe the most artistic epic we've reviewed this month. Give us a l...

It wouldn't be a month of movies without Roll Film reviewing at least one comedy. And what comedy fits our MARCHial arts themed better than Kung Fu Hustle. This was a pick from our second time guest Alex Kilbarger. Alex joins the Roll Film crew and discusses why this is a must watch for martial arts and movie fans alike.

MARCHial Arts continues and we're kicking right up into the modern era with Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior. Our special guest Cody Colburn picked this one for us and what a doozy it is! This ain't your daddy's martial arts movie! Unless you're one of our kids, then yes, it is in fact your daddy's martial arts movie. If you haven't seen this amazing film give our review a listen and then go watch it imm...

It's leap day and Roll Film is leaping into March with some flying kicks for MARCHIAL ARTS! The next 5 weeks we'll be reviewing only martial arts movies, some new, some old, but all action! We are going to "kick" this thing off (see what I did there?) with the essential martial arts movie Enter The Dragon with the legend Bruce Lee. This was a pick of our esteemed guest Aaron Newt...

It's the end of John Hughes January and we decided to do our first video upload! And why not double the fun with not 1 but 2 guests hosts!? The Roll Film crew is joined by Roman Atwood and Chase Gilroy to discuss what Ferris Bueller's Day Off. We even have a teen guest as well! Carson Gilroy gives us a fresh perspect on if this film still holds up.

John Hughes January isn't over yet and we've got a deep cut for you today. The Roll Film crew knew we couldn't tackle this one alone and who better to have guest on today's episode than someone who has actually had a baby? That's right it's Mindy King time! This was such a weird watch for all of us because it's not the usual John Hughes film, give it a listen before you...

John Hughes Janaury continues with this zany sci-fi comedy Weird Science. They just don't make em like this anymore, maybe they never really did, because Weird Science is special! Listen as the Roll Film crew discuss plastic tubes, pots and pans, and everything else that makes this movie so unique.

New Year, new theme! It's John Hughes January! And we had to start with the movie that everyone thinks of when they hear John Hughes, The Breakfast Club. Join the Roll Film crew as we not only talk about how important this film is but how it connected to each of us in our high school and adult lives.

Documentary December and 2023 ends with one of our biggest episodes ever! We are reviewing the bridge between this month and our John Hughes January! What's even more exciting is we have one of the producers from today's doc, Kari Hollend joining us! Kari tells us the story of how she and her friends made a documentary about trying to find John Hughes and talking about his impact along the...

Happy Holidays and welcome to the very special Christmas episode of Roll Film's documentary December! Listen as the crew takes you through the story of one man's mission to provide the best Christmas display one neighborhood has ever seen. Whether they like it or not!

Documentary December continues with the biopic Sly. The Roll Film crew was excited to review this one but we were not ready with just how awesome and inspirational the story of one of Hollywood's most prolific careers would be. Take a listen as we talk about the journey of Slyvester Stallone.

It's holiday season so you know what that means?! DOCUMENTARIES! The Roll Film crew decided they would do a different documentary for the month of December and we're kicking this series off with the Maxx documentary BS High. Listen as Greg and Jon discuss this whirlwind tale of lies and football.

Well Nolan November comes to an end with a BOMB! Get it? The Roll Film crew reviews Nolan's latest venture Oppenheimer. Listen as we discuss how the only longer than this movie's runtime is it's impact.

IT'S A NOLAN WITHIN A NOLAN WITHIN A NOLAN...Well not really but Roll Film is continuing Nolan November with a doozy, Inception! We had to bring in a special guest for this dreamscape, so we got Tyler Smith to join us! Listen as we discuss this much talked about movie and why it deserves the conversation.

KEEP NOLAN NOLAN NOLAN! That's right, we're continuing Nolan November with another one of his classics, The Prestige. We're joined by returning guest Aaron Newton who discusses what makes this movie so MAGICAL! See what I did there? Sorry about that, anyways, listen closely as the Roll Film crew reviews this masterpiece.

It's Nolan November time baby! The Roll Film crew is going back and reviewing the classic films of one of the most prolific directors of all time. And to get the ball rolling we decided to look at this early remake on Nolan's resume, the suspense drama Insomnia. Take a listen as we discuss how even early in his career Nolan shows off his film making chops!

Not only is this Roll Film's last episode for spooky season but also we just hit our one year anniversary of making this movie reviews! We knew we had to bring in an expert for this one so we got threepeat guest Mindy King! Today we looked at the new Amazon horror comedy Totally Killer. Lots to unpack here and we hope you enjoy this fun ride back to the 80's with us! Thanks for one year of...

Our return of the living guests continue with another spooky season favorite Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil! The Roll Film crew knew to tackle this horror/comedy masterpiece we'd need one of our best guests ever, so we got C Thane Dixon to come back to discuss all the wonderful things about this satire movie. Give it a listen and let's keep this scary time rollin!
