Movies On The Rocks

Good day to you all!! It's time for another ROUSING episode of Movies on the Rocks!! Today is a special one as it's Elias' last show, at least for the foreseeable future. We know he will always be welcome. What a great episode to go out on. A fantastic film, not only western. The magnum opus of Sergio Leone's career. Possibly the greatest western of all time, and that is saying something. It has e...

GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL!!! I have premiered another episode of MOVIES ON THE ROCKS!! I know it's been a bit of a break between the christmas episode and this one, but sometimes we need a vacation also. So for that reason, Derryk has chosen a doozy of a movie... and you know how that goes. But never fear, it's not all that bad... and not all that good... just, meh. So sit back and enjoy our discussion...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. We here at Movies on the Rocks hope that you are enjoying spending time with you and yours. For that reason, we have a special Christmas episode. We watched the new Paul Giamatti/Alexander Payne motion picture The Holdovers and thoroughly enjoyed it. Please watch and make your opinion but do know that we loved this picture. So plea...

Cue the Police Academy Theme song!!!! Here is another episode of the amazing podcast, Movies on the Rocks!! The MORT boys are here to present to you a classic of 80's comedy. This motion picture stars 80's star Steve Guttenberg and a host of others. There is so much to understand since this was a top 5 grossing movie of 1984!! AMAZING!!! Well in any case, listen and enjoy our discussion. As always...

WOOHOO!! Welcome to another episode of Movies on the Rocks!! We, the MOTR Boys, are going to present to you, our listening audience, a SWEET movie this week. We are speaking about the 90's Neo-film Noir classic known as LA Confidential. A fantastic movie (at least by my account) that has a killer screenplay, killer direction and fantastic acting (at least in my opinion). Also we discuss how this m...

Welcome to a very special episode of the MOTR BOYZ!!! The reason this is so special is becaues we finally get to review one of the most classic, most amazing, and possibly, most perfect movies in Christendom!!! BACK TO THE FUTURE!!! GREAT SCOTT!! This is so heavy... well, anyways, I could was poetic about this movie all day, but why don't we do you the honor of listening for yourselves. So pull up...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Welcome to another episode of the Movies on the Rocks and welcome to another HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!!! Another special where we try to, and successfully I might add, give Derryk more traume to talk about with his mental health specialist when we make him watch a horror that he would DEFINITELY not choose on his own. We discuss the Ari Aster motion picture Herediatary. Considered one...

Welcome to another episode of the MOTR BOYZZZ!!! I know we say it every episode, but I want to be sure that everyone knows that we are here to discuss movies that we love and enjoy. Sometimes we all don't like them, but that is the best part of cinema. This one is no different. We are here to talk about the Count Of Monte Cristo. A movie that didn't do that great in the theatres but had an OUTSTAN...

J/k He never said that. Welcome to another timey-wimey, interstellary-pepinstellary episode of Movies on the Rocks!! That was suprisingly difficult... Doctor who is a badass... Well in any case, this episode is the time jumping, black hole diving, planet exploring movie directed by the inimitable Christopher Nolan. It's our second time diving into one of his movies after we did THE PRESTIGE (said...

LET'S GOOOOOO!!! We are back with another episode of MOTR!!! This week we are talking about one of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung's.... DUDS!!! Not a great pick by Derryk. Definitely is one of his worst picks and one of Jackie Chan's lesser enjoyable movies. But if you like grappling hooks out of nowhere and horseback riding on the beach when they have never shown a beach or a horse... this is the fli...

Here we go!! This next episode we brought back an old guest to the show, Elias. He was on our season 1 Hard Boiled episode title the Paquete Episode and he did not disappoint. Also since this was paquete part 2, it was only fitting to present John Woo's first foray into american cinema, Hard Target. One of my favorite cheesy 90's flicks. Well, in any case, give us a listen as we was poetically at...

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! ERIC'S LAST SHOW!!! We are so sad and disappointed that Eric would choose to leave the show to do the thing he loves which is direct a movie... psshhh... whatever.. J/K Eric, we know it's going to be great and I mean what better way to send you out, than to talk about an ANIME on your LAST EPISODE!! You were so happy to do it in the recording... <cough>... Well in any ca...

HERE IT IS!!! The penultimate episode of Eric's podcasting career. For this episode he chose a DOOZY!! the mid 2000's scifi drama, Children Of Men. Great pick and great flick. if you haven't seen it, give it a shot. Also, since there is only one more after this one for Eric, give it a listen. Time is running out for our trio. Enjoy it!! As always, we do this with a song in our hearts and drink in...

YEESH!!! This movie was certainly uncomfortable for a number of reasons. Not only for it's content, but because Eric and Derryk just didn't like it. That's their opinion. I think myself and Criterion have some stuff to say in regards to the art that is this motion picture. It's not for everyone, but in my opinion, it's worth the watch. If at least to say, that you have seen it. That's definitely n...

WOW!! This movie had some STARPOWER!! Not just De Niro and Pacino, but Kilmer, Voight, Trejo, Sizemore, etc., etc., etc. The list goes on in this movie. Not just that, but Derryk has realy brought some bangers... and some duds... but, hey. Who's counting? In any case, listen to our critique of this AMAZING 90's crime thriller and just marvel at the cast, because we sure did. As always, we do this...

Welcome to another episode of MOVIES ON THE ROCKS!!! This weeks ep we are discussing Steven Spielberg's first foray into an actual drama in the classic motion picture, The Color Purple. It can't be understated how great this film was and what it represented. The cast and production was amazing and Eric was feeling feels that he hadn't felt while watching this movie. Derryk even appreciated the fee...

OHHHHH BOY!!! I have waited a long time to talk about this movie and the time is finally here!! On this episode we talk about the CULT GANGSTER CLASSIC: SCARFACE!! We talk about how it was a staple of 90s/00s hip hop and how it was possibly the first licensed music on a video game, specifically GTA 3. We thank you ROCKSTAR games for all that you do!!! Now listen and enjoy our discussion of a great...

If the title is any description, you are in for a treat. Treat as in our description of quite possibly the WORST movie any of us have ever seen. I mean, this movie is possibly worse than In the Army Now, which has the distinction of being the worst movie we have reviewed on this podcast!! In fact, I am going to say that it DEFINITELY is the WORST MOVIE WE HAVE REVIEWED!!! So give us a listen and p...

OH....MY....GOD!!! Now you see why we don't let Derryk choose movies. I honestly had high hopes for this one since it's a Satoshi Kon vehicle (check out our eps on Perfect Blue and Paprika)... MAN!!! Were we disappointed. There were some good things, but all in all not great. But you should have your own opinion. In any case, go ahead and listen to this on your way out doing some last minute chris...

Well.... here is another episode from the MOTR boys about another PTA movie. I will say, that this one is a bit of a DOOZY since it's like Casino but with Porn instead of gangsters... also no gambling, but we do have drugs... lots and lots of drugs... mostly coke... yeah... just coke and alcohol... but in any case, listen and see what you think. And even though Eric says he doesn't agree with me,...

GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL!!!! On today's episode we are discussing the new motion picture 3000 Years of Longing directed by the great Australian director, George Miller. We discuss everything from how we feel that this movie reminds us of the motion picture Big Fish and how Kanye/Yeezus/Ye is really not right in the head. But also we discuss how James Cameron is Eric's fave director... TOATS MAGOATS!!!...

HELLOOOOO!!! Welcome to the Halloween Special of MOOOOOOVIES ON THE ROOOOOCKS!!! (Hear this last sentence in spooky, vampire voice....) For this years special episode, we will be speaking about the beautifully shot and deeply disturbing horror movie from A24, Midsommar. This movie was gorgeous to look at and shocking to watch and it made Derryk particularly uncomfortable, which as everyone knows i...

EPISODE 52 IS IN THE BOOKS!! This episode we are reviewing a little movie known as Vengeance. It's a small movie that didn't get seen by alot of people, but should be. It's a cool little investigative movie with a not so heroic protagonist. But it also espouses the beauties and wonder that is Whataburger, which is in the honest opinion of this podcaster and my partners, possibly the great fast foo...

Episode 51 and we are off to the races!! For this episode we are discussing the tight, disturbing David Fincher true crime thriller, Gone Girl! We discuss all we can about and talk about how these two people were MEANT for each other because they are such TERRIBLE human beings. I mean if we could find a more apparent couple that should have NEVER gotten married, these two would be the poster child...

WELCOME TO EPISODE 50 OF MOVIES ON THE ROCKS!!! We have hit the HALF-CENTURY MARK!!! AMAZING!! On today's episode we are reviewing and discussing the Tarantino WWII classic Inglourious Basterds. We will also talk about Derryk's baby's 1st Birthday party and what are Dad Jeans... It was ASTOUNDING what kids will wear. But, we will also talk about Christoph Waltz is not only an actor for a generatio...
