The Rockett Reel Rundown: Recent Episodes
Toby Rockett
Frank and wholesome discussions with my friends who love to obsess over our favorite types of stories. From gabbing about Movies, TV, Video Games and much more to just sitting back and discussing the odd intricacies of everyday life, we are hopefully the perfect companion for you.
While making our way through the massive MCU franchise, my wife, Caitlin and I followed the buzz surrounding this Netflix series about a bruting post World War I family rising the ranks of the London criminal underworld, I’m course talking about hit series… The Peaky Blinders.
We had such a long and passionate discussion after recording last week’s episode that I figured why not return that same energy for today’s show. Faith and Hayden are here to bookmark the end of the MCU saga with Spider-Man: Far From Home.
We… have… finally made it to the endgame and Faith & Hayden are here on today’s show to help me wrap up the end of the Epic MCU Saga: Avengers: Endgame.
After a week long break, we are back here in the studio to discuss the next installment of Phase 3, Captain Marvel starring Bree Larson. Here today, my guests are my sister-in-law Cammi and her very good friend, and one of my favorite people, Katie.
Today, we are taking a slight detour from our journey through the MCU to go back and revisit one of our favorite installments of phase 3, Thor: Ragnarok. P.S. Faith we are so sorry.
Today’s episode, in the wake of the dark conclusion of Infinity War, my wife, Caitlin and her sister Cammi are all here together to talk about the light hearted sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp. In turn, we will continue to discuss the ultimate dad-ness that is the always charming Paul Rudd.
We are finally here to discuss the final chapters of phase 3 of the MCU, kicking it off with the first half of the epic climax, Avengers: Infinity War. My friends Faith and Zach are here to share our favorite worst moments.
Our Watchathon of the MCU is ongoing and we are close to the end of phase 3 with one of the crown jewels of this series, Black Panther. And… today’s episode, Laura and Caitlin are joining me to break down our favorite moments. Spoiler Alert, its mostly Michael B. Jordan.
Faith, Caitlin, and Trevor are here to talk all things Spider-Man. Specifically, we’ll be deep diving into Spider-Man: Homecoming and how it fits into phase 3 of the MCU and how it compares to the many Spider-Man films overall.
Today’s episode, my good buddies Stan Man and Matt are here to keep the good times rollin with our binge through the MCU. Our focus is in phase 3 and we are here to find out which Guardians of the Galaxy movie still holds up.
Today’s episode, the Collins sisters are in the house. My wife and my sister-in-law are here continuing our discussion of the MCU by breaking down Captain America: Civil War. With this movie being about a family of super heroes divided over the future of the Avengers, it might take a family to help understand how to bring them back together.
Our 10th episode is chalk full of little quirks…and by quirks I of course mean the quirk filled world of the very popular Anime series, My Hero Academia. We will also talk about the little quirks and takeaways from the climax of MCU’s phase 2. Avengers: Age of Ultron.
As we continue our journey through the MCU, with the first phase finally behind us, my best friend Trevor and my wife Caitlin take a close look at the best parts of the marvel films in phase 2, leading us to the mid-point of the series, Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Today’s episode, my wife Caitlin and my good friend Jordan break down and discuss one of the most influential anime features to date as well as it is significance in pop culture. If you’re a fan of cool looking cyber punk motorcycles and deep themes about humanity, then you’ve probably heard of Akira.
It’s already been a year since Avenger’s Endgame and the conclusion of Marvel’s ambitious saga, but there are still some trying to catch up with the all the films within the franchise. With more time to Binge watch than ever, my guests and I weigh in on one of the shortcomings of the MCU, the character of the Incredible Hulk.
Whether we like it or not, social distancing seems to be here to stay for a while at least. So, why not take this opportunity to have my wife, Caitlin, on the show as we draw the comparisons of our own realities to Pixar Studio’s fun but equally bleak alternate future in WALL-E
As we adjust to our new lives of isolation due to the COVID-19 virus, my guests and I sit back and reflect how this all affects our daily routines. Speaking of isolation, we rundown a science fiction film that is all about isolation, but with a wild twist. Moonstars veteran actor Sam Rockwell as he portrays astro-worker Sam Bell at the end of his 3 year contract all by himself on a moon base, with no one to talk to but his robot counterpart. We also talk about our favorite musicals, the best of Jackie Chan, Castlevania, thoughts on Westworld, and much much more.
As social distancing slowing becomes the new normal, my friends and I sit and reminisce about the contemporary western No Country For Old Men; a film about an aging sheriff trying to prevent a bad drug deal from getting worse who quickly finds himself out of touch with the violence of this lawless world. Speaking of a lawless world, we also discuss what lessons to take away from the cultural phenomenon that is the Netflix documentary series Tiger King.
In case you're thinking of risking the use of public transit today, our discussion of the South Korean zombie horror film Train to Busan will remind you that death can spread quickly, even on trains. Other topics include what video games we've been playing, what we've been watching, and some of our favorite campy movies. Hope you enjoy!
Much Like Shaun's plan to wait out the zombie horde in Shaun of the Dead, we do the same with COVID-19 in my garage. Though it may not be the Winchester, it still has character. In this episode we will be talking about how we have been spending our time since the quarantine. Topics include Castlevania, Shadow (movie), Dragon Ball and the very popular fighter Dragon Ball FighterZ. We also discuss the growing trend of successful video game adaptations and last but not least, our thoughts on Shaun of the Dead.
On our very first episode of the Rockett Reel Rundown Podcast, we discuss my good friend Jordan's recently discovered love for everything Anime as I do my very best to keep up. Together, we review and discuss some better series' that have debuted in the recent years like Haiku, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, One Punch Man, etc... We also discuss some of the more critically acclaimed Japanese Animes and films like Cowboy Beebop, Ghost in the Shell, the Studio Ghibli body of work, and much much more!
