School of Rock (2003) ft Craig McKenzie

"I pledge allegiance... to the band." On this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE NOUGHTIES (or 00s if you're into the whole brevity thing), Devon Elson is getting educated in a feel-good classic that cemented funny rockerman Jack Black as a platinum family-friendly success with the help of acclaimed writer Mike White and acclaimed director Richard Linklater in School of Rock (2003)! His study buddy is recurring special guest Craig McKenzie! Runner of kneelbeforeblog.co.uk and host of podcasts Kneel Before Pod and We Are Starfleet: A Star Trek Podcast! Together they reconcile how every child on earth knows Jack Black these days but how many have seen perhaps his best film? How did Linklater and White end up working on a seemingly mainstream crowdpleaser? And just how brilliant is this cast of young child actors who all know how to play their instruments and how did their real personalties shape their scenes?
