Roll Film

Whoever wins...at least we all had fun! Welcome back to Alien August at Roll Film! We hope you're ready for a fun ride of crossover chaos! The Roll Film crew decided to pick the sequel to the much despised first AVP because let's face it, it's a party! AVPR might not be put into the Criterion Collection anytime soon but its definitely a perfect fit for your own creature collection.

How do you top one of the best Sci-Fi horror movies of all time? By making it plural! Alien August continues with James Cameron's action packed take on the franchise with Aliens. We have super fan Bret McCallum join us today and I don't if we could have had someone more excited to talk about Aliens. Listen as we discuss what makes a great sequel and maybe hear some divisive thoughts about...

In space no one can hear you scream, but everyone can hear you scream for excitement as Roll Film returns with an action pack Alien August! All month we will be reviewing films from the Alien franchise in preparation for Alien Romulus. Today we had to go back to the very beginning and we made sure to bring in THE Alien expert, Ashleigh Nicholson. Ashleigh and the Roll Film crew discuss what this f...

What better way to end twin movie month with real life twins Steve and Scott Grinstead!? For a pair of epic guests we had to have an epic pair of twin movies! We went with the presidential pandemonium films White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen. What happens when terrorists take over the White House? Apparently near identical movies that's what. Hear from us which one we think deserves your...

Twin Time continues on Roll Film and this week we're going raunchy Rom Coms! These movies came out about 6 months apart from each other in the same year but on the surface are near identitcal. Listen as the Roll Film Crew decide which is the better causal relationship winner out of No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits!

When it comes to today's episode, you don't wanna miss a thing! We're crashing in with twin meteor movies Armageddon and Deep Impact. Our special guest Bill Bader hit it on the head when he said these movies "have the same recipe but the cakes came out different." So give us a listen as we discuss two disaster movies and why they're both great.

It's twin time! The whole month of June Roll Film is reviewing and comparing movies that came out around the same time that have very similar stories. Since we already reviewed The Prestige we knew we had to complete the twin powers and review The Illusionist. See if both these movies are worth your time!

It's the last week of Star Wars month on Roll Film and we had to get in at least one special meta Star Wars movie. We also knew we had to get a special meta guest, coming back for his fourth time Aaron Newton. Listen how we all review the high potential low executed movie Fanboys. We may unearth potention theories as to why this movie fails to deliver but hopefully we were at least a new hope...

As May starts winding down so does the quality of Star Wars movie we're reviewing. Today we had Brian Rockefeller join the Roll Film crew in discussing the safe and unoriginal movie that is The Force Awakens. Listen as we discuss all the hope we had in this film and all the New Hope that was in this film.

It's time for the first, the original, the one that started it all! Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope! Hard to even review such an iconic film, that's why we brought in such an iconic Star Wars nerd Mike Hart. Join us as we discuss not just A New Hope the movie but also the cultural impaact it's made and will continue to make.

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.
