Roll Film

Well it would be a real TRAGEDY if we did a whole Greek mythology month and didn't review Disney's Hercules. So glad we revisited this classic because it truly belongs in the discussion for best Greek mythology movies. Even though they take some liberties with the story to make it kid friendly there is so much homage the stories of old and lots of fun and banger songs for everyone to enjoy.

Roll Film is back and we're taking you on an epic adventure! A journey through movies based on Greek mythology in honor of Christopher Nolans upcoming release of The Odyssey we'll be taking a trip through myth movies old and new starting with what some believe to be the granddaddy of them all Jason And The Argonauts. While dated this movie shows of some legendary special effects that all c...

Well Indpendent Film month comes to a close here at Roll Film, but our indepdence wil never end! We decided to conclude this month with the magical surreal, comedy, horror Dave Made A Maze. Hard to fully explain what movie is about but there's no denying it's awesome. Thanks for joining us all month long and we'll see you in July for our Greek Mythology month!

Roll Film would be remiss to do an independent movie month and not review Clerks. This crown jewel of indy film making still crushes it to this day. Listen as the Roll Film crew talk about what Clerks means to them and how it set the stage for following your dream.

Indy month rolls on with Roll Film and we are reviewing the classic indy film Swingers. This movie launched some amazing careers, it manages to be funny and heartfelt at the same time. We hope this and all of our independent reviews inspire future filmmakers to get out and create!

Welcome to Independent Film Month all May on Roll Film and we are kicking this month off with an amazing episode featuring writer/director/actor Seven Martini! We couldn't be more excited to have him on and share how he came up with this romantic comedy of errors that draws from his own personal experience for his 2025 film BitterSweet. We hope after you listen to this episode that you are as...

Celebrating Greg comes to an end (and we'll never do it again). So to celebrate Greg one last time we brought in his most special guest, his son Jack! Together we all reviewed the pop culture nuke that is Ready Player One. While enjoying the visuals we also discussed the real meaning behind it's commentary. Thanks for joining us for Greg's birthday month and we look forward to reviewin...

Another week another banger from birthday boy Greg's collection! This episode we'll be reviewing 2007's Hot Rod, while not a commercial success it definitely made a significant impact on us and today's special Guest Jeff Williams. Listen as we dissect this humor masterpiece and how it still plays into our lives.

We're comiing to get you Barbara! By coming to get you we mean we have a new episode and by Barbara we mean anyone who will listen. Greg's birthday choices continue with this masterpiece of horror comedy. We also have returning guest Mike Getreu back to discuss not how much this film means to him but also the history with SOTD and his friendship with Greg. Give us a listen and enjoy revisi...

Greg's birthday picks continue with the cult classic The Boondock Saints. This film divided the two hosts so they brought in a totally unbias third party, frequent guest and Greg's cousin Alex Kilbarger. Listen how the Roll Film crew discusses this movie's cultural and personal impact and keep listening for more of Greg's picks all April!

We're back baby! And we're celebrating a special little guy's birthday month. All April long Greg will be sharing some of his favorite films with us and some awesome guests along the way. Starting off strong with the high octane action masterpiece that is Mad Max Fury Road. Since it's Greg's time we had to start by bringing in his favorite person, his co-host Jon, and then his...

Welcome back Olympians! Roll Film is ready to bring home the win with our last episode in For The Gold February! Another inspiring true story called Eddie The Eagle. Eddie's story is more about personal victory and how believing in yourself can be contagious. It's been a great month of the games and films centered around them. Roll Film is taking March off and will be back in April!

Well we reviewed one Olympic movie that was a complete lie, one that was from different people's perspectives and now we've come the most true Olympic film ever, a documentary about the miralce on ice! To review a miralce we need a miracle of a host so we brought back blacksmith Joey Powell to get his take on this true underdog story!

For the gold February skates on with the dramatic retelling of a huge Olympic scandal from the 90's! In order to properly review this we needed an Olympic expert, but they weren't available so we got Abbey Merker instead. In all seriousness it was great to have such an Olympic fan join us for this insane story that turned into a great movie.

The winter games are upon us and the Roll Film crew could think of no better theme for this month than For The Gold February! All month will be reviewing movies that revolve around the winter games. Starting off with a bridge movie from last month, Cool Runnings. While Cool Runnings takes lots of liberties with story of the first Jamaican bobsled team but there's still a lot of love and inspir...

Well, like most good things John Candyuary comes to an end and Roll Film thought it was fitting to do his last released film after his passing. Candian Bacon was documentarian Michael Moore's firsts attempt at making a comedy movie. The policites are pretty heavy handed but many jokes land. And whether or not you decide to watch it after listening to our review we hope you continue to revisit...

Couldn't do John Candyuary without reviewing Spaceballs! This film means so much to so many, our generation grew up repeating the jokes to one another, watching basic cable versions and looking forward to the sequel. Mel Brooks masterfully captures whats fun and silly about sci-fi, so hopefully you find our review just as endearing.

You can't have a John Candy month and not talk about this John Hughes classic! Uncle Buck might be Candy's most memorable role and there's lots of good reasons why. This was such a fun and heartwarming watch for the Roll Film Crew. Listen to our review and then revisit this amazing family film.

John Candyuary continues with the summer classic The Great Outdoors. Candy and Akroyd both get to shine in this odd couple family comedy. If you haven't seen this 80's gem, listen to our review. Even if you have seen it, please listen, we need you! But for real, thank you for all the support and we look forward to bringing you more John Candy movies!

Well Roll Filmers, we promised you John Canduary and dog gone it, we're brining it to you. Starting the month off with one of his breakout supporting rolls in one of the wildest ideas for a movie ever, Splash. This mermaid rom-com isn't as happy go lucky as you might think, but it's worth the watch alone for John Candy's talent to shine. We look forward to celebrating this icon the...

Merry Christmas Roll Filmers! Being that today is the big day for the big man (Santa) you know that we had to review a holiday movie. And what a movie it is! We're excited to discuss 2022's Violent Night. If you need convincing to see this action/comedy then give our review a listen. But remember tis the season of giving so send our review to any Scrooge or Grinch you think needs their hearts warm...

Documentary December rolls on with another film about a comedy legend. Sadly this legend is no longer with us but his story lives on. I Like Me is about John Candy and we hope that this documentary as well as our review will inspire you to pursue your passions while being honest about how you are doing. This was such an important watch for us so we thank you for listening!

The world has been blessed with huge talent before but Eddie Murphy is on another level. That's why the Roll Film Crew had to review Netflix's new Eddie Murphy documentary Being Eddie. How do you sum up a career like Eddie's in a less than 2 hour documentary? The best you can. Listen to our review of a living legend's story.

Documentary December is back and this time it's personal! Well personal for us here at Roll Film because we personally pick out each movie to review, so I guess everything we do is personal. Anyways, to bridge the gap between our horror movie review month and documentaries we decided to watch Spooktacular! A story about a man and his dream to create the first horror themed entertainment center...

Thanks for joining us on a very special Halloween episode of Roll Film in our vampire movie month! We had to end with one of the best recent vampire films Sinners. What a wild ride this movie was from start to finish and we here at Roll Film wouldn't want it any other way. We will be taking a break for the month of Novemeber but we'll be back with Documentary December!
