The Projection Booth: Episode 232: The Rocketeer
Special Guests: Joe Johnston, Paul DeMeo, Danny Bilson, Jon Polito

We discuss the 1991 comic book film The Rocketeer starring Billy Campbell. We look at the film's production with its writers (Paul DeMeo and Danny Bilson) and director (Joe Johnston). We also talk to the inimitable Jon Polito.

We're joined by Chris Stachiw of the Kulture Shocked podcast to talk about this under-appreciated film.

Is it just me or does it seem that this movie has become more popular recently that it actually was when it came out? I actually loved it the first time I saw it in the mid 90s. The look of the movie, the production is beautiful- everything is just great the costumes, the vehicles the look of the people, the story line. To attempt to make the same movie today would be a lot more difficult, because of the practical effects used, they could not be reproduced in today's movie industry. Thanks for this, I will check it out as soon as I can. Didn't Danny Bilson and Paul Also do that early 90's Flash TV show? And some other ones which were actually pretty good.
