Movies On The Rocks

WELCOME TO EPISODE 49!!! We are truly doing the Lord's work here and presenting to you a review on what i believe is a modern day classic. This motion picture is soooo meta that i believe it knows it exists in multiple timelines and realities. It probably owns it's own wax sculpture of Nic Cage bowing his head in a sensei salute. In any case, pleaes enjoy our review and let us know what you think,...

Welcome to episode 48 and today we have a special guest on with us. It's Eric's good buddy Salvatore!! I am sure you have heard him mentioned on previouse episodes and we even named a previous episode after him, but we never had him on! NOW WE DID!! He came and we spoke about one of his fave movies, the 80's cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. Now there was some heated discussions on whether...

WELCOME TO EPISODE 47!!! Wow!! We have almost reached the half-century mark and we are still going strong!! This episode we are talking about the Wes Anderson classic The Royal Tenenbaums! We discuss how this was the beginning of Wes's signature style that can be beautiful but also somewhat annoying at the same time. OCD is really kicking with this guy. But we also talk about how amazing this moti...

Good day to all our MOTR listeners! Today we are presenting our episode on the early 2000's motion picture, A Knight's Tale! This movie is one of my go-to movies when i just want to kill time and eat some mcdonald's and not do anything but veg out on a saturday, sunday, or any day afternoon. I personally enjoy the movie, but my compatriots had other feelings. But seriously.... WHO CARES!!! Just ta...

HELOOOOOOO!!! Welcome to another episode of Movies on the Rocks. On this weeks ep, we discuss the mindbending, multiverse travelling, sausage finger loving, and bagel eating motion picture known as Everything Everywhere All At Once. We talk about how it's an absolute treasure of a motion picture and how anyone who watches it is blessed to be alive to see it (Eric's words). We also discuss how Derr...

Welcome to another episode of MOVIES ON THE ROCKS!! Today's episode is a review, discussion and all out LOVE fest of the 90's classic western, Tombstone. We discuss how Kurt Russell is a god amongst men and how much Derryk has a man-crush, j/k. We talk about how this movie is an absolute gem for even the non-western cinephiles (which Eric counts himself as). But as always, we discuss how good the...

HOWDY!!! Welcome to another episode of Movies on the Rocks, this week's drop is the last movie collabo of the great comedians, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. It also stars a young Kevin Spacey, who had a NASTY growth on his face... UGH... The title from this week's episode comes straight from the movie, so if you want to know the context, watch the movie and listen in. Also, you can see that i hav...

HELLOOOOOO!!!! All I hear when I type that is Mrs. Doubtfire. Welcome to another great episode on Movies On The Rocks. This week's episode we discuss our shoutout to president of the fan club (we don't have one, but if we did) Salvatore. But we also discuss the little known, but REALLY great drama piece, Waves. We discuss the social aspects, as well as, the great writing and directing from a direc...

Another great episode in the BOOKS!!! This episode we celebrate the fact that not only does Eric bring some NEWS to the show, FINALLY!! But also that he and Derryk have quite the bromance happening! You naughty, naughty boys. So listen along with us and let us know what you think of their budding love story! Oh... and also we talk about the 90's independent heist drama, Killing Zoe. As always, we...

Here comes another drama... Who would've thought that since we added Eric to the MOTR Boys, he would affect Derryk so much that DERRYK would pick a drama, and one that is directed by Eric's fave director?!? WOW!! But in any case, we made this episode to discuss the drama that brought PT Anderson to the forefront and cemented his greatness as one of Hollywood's great dramatic directors. Definitely...

ALERT**ALERT** Here is a special episode we did a month or so back for the release of DUNE. In honor or the Oscars and my lagging editing time, we are releasing it out into the WILD!! We only hope that no Harkonnens were hurt during the editing of this episode... well, not killed, maybe, but definitely want them hurt... those dudes are HORRIBLE!! Enjoy. CHEERS!!! INTRO: PEG & THE REJECTED -- A...

Episode 1 of Season 3!!! FINALLY!! We've made it. Actually, it's kind of my fault, this episode has been done for almost 2 months, but because of holidays and vacations and stuff it was a bit delayed. BUT WE ARE HERE NOW AND READY TO PREMIERE! On this episode we talk about Luc Besson's classic entry into american cinema, The Professional, starring a young Natalie Portman and a younger Jean Reno as...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! We hope you enjoy our new christmas/holiday episode where we converse on all things christmas related. You will also hear us opening up presents and discussing out I brought the best drink of the entire show this year when i brought in my version of Coquito (regular and Nutella-flavored). Also we discuss how it doesn't matter what time of the year it is, Derryk brings the worst d...

Welcome to the 2021 Halloween special and this year we are terrifying Derryk with the classic, non-gory, horror movie known as The Conjuring. We chose this as we are FINALLY ripping off the band-aid of the horror special and truly wish to scare the pants off Derryk, which was prevalent since he HATED even talking about the movie. It was almost as if he was reliving it again... huh... imagine that....

FINALLY!!! We have reached the end of season 2. This was definitely a shorter season, but it definitely felt like it was longer. In any case, this episode we talked about the 90's comedy classic Wayne's World!! SCHWING!! MY GOD, I have always wanted to say that and put it out on the interwebs. In any case, in this ep we listen to Eric try to backtrack all the things he said about liking Marvel and...

HI-YO!!! Welcome to the second episode of our series on 90s cheese. This week we are discussing the Ben Stiller directed 90s dark comedy, The Cable Guy. We wish we had a cable guy on this episode because we had some serious technical issues with Eric at his house. This episode seemed like a callback to our first eps with Guri and his technical difficulties,well... C'EST LA VIE!! We hope you enjoy...

And so we have arrived at the first episode of the last 3 part series of season 2... So far we have spoken about Donda and watched Anime (ugh... so much anime), but now we are in the 90s. A time of glorious wonder and amazing independent filmmaking. That is why we recorded an episode reviewing the cult classic, STARSHIP TROOPERS!! Well, ok, it's not Citizen Kane but it is good cinema in my opinion...

HELLLLOOOOO!!!! When I typed that I heard Mrs. Doubtfire in my head and now you have as well. In any case, here is episode 6 of our second season. This episode is our EXCITING (thankful) conclusion to our Anime series for all you MOTR-heads. Because of that, Eric chose his movie which neither I nor him had ever seen. It was a good choice, but you can listen to us discuss the ins and outs of this m...

HERE WE ARE AGAIN!!! Another episode is upon us and what a show we have for you!!! On this episode we wax poetically from all things including a certain podcast that is FANTASTIC, as well as we talk about that classic of american cinema known as Sharknado. But that wasn't our movie, no SIR!! The movie this episode is Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon. This anime really gets under your skin. We discuss t...

HIYO!!!!! Another episode down, another episode where Eric drinks a little bit too much Screwball. DAMN that drink goes down smooth. Well here we go again, but this time the genre of choice was up to Derryk and surprise, surprise, he chose ANIME!! In reality, no one was surprised. I mean it's Derryk. He chose one of the most DEPRESSING anime movies ever. I won't go into details, but some people ac...

We have finally come to conclusion of our Embrace the Suck series of Dramatic motion pictures. This episode we saw the 90's Apartheid drama, The Power Of One starring the great Morgan Freeman. It was also the first time that I drank Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey... BOY!! That stuff is GRRRREAT!!! We also talk about how this movie was not as good as we thought and how we were all surprised that D...

HOWDY, EVERYONE!! We are back with the 2nd episode of our Embrace The Suck series. Derryk didn't like how he had the Feels with Blue Valentine. So he chose the Will Smith vehicle, Collateral Beauty, as revenge... Yeah... It didn't go well. Reason being is because the movie was... H O R R I B L E! But it was good podcast fodder for us to really make sure he understood that he chose a BAD movie. Als...

HOLA!!! WELCOME BACK FOR SEASON 2!!! We appreciate everyone that has stayed on with us during this journey and is willing to keep going. Today's episode is a HARD DRAMA called Blue Valentine. Derryk was not too happy since he had to actually experience emotion, the arrogant little... WELL!! Please enjoy this episode as we are doing things a little differently this season. All will be explained......

WE MADE IT!! WE ARE AT EPISODE 26!!! It has been a tough year with lockdowns, covid, virtual school, etc., but we got through it and we saw some pretty great movies in the process... Well maybe not all great (In The Army Now is an exception)... But, we do continue to soldier on and will be starting season 2 which will be full of genre love and enjoyment, but before we go to that, we are talking ab...

REGULATORS!!! Listen up!! Here we are, almost done with the first season of Movies on the Rocks. It's kind of strange and exciting, but not like in a loveboat kind of way... that was weird... Anyways, for this episode we watched the 80's MTV-era western starring a whole mess of 80's stars and a few bratpack-ers. We also reminisced on how we actually enjoyed the schlock factor in this movie. Also,...
