The Rock

from Great Bad Movies

Our most-requested movie is celebrating its 30th anniversary! It's the kind of movie where a cable car inextricably flies straight up into air out of nowhere... A scene so amazing that Isaac Slade calls in to premiere a sequel to his Fray hit "Over My Head (Cable Car)" right here on this episode! We also have a brand new segment called "When was the last time David Hallgren watched this movie?" that we think will really go places. What if Quentin Tarantino wrote the Nicolas Cage parts, Aaron Sorkin wrote the government scenes, Sean Connery hired British writers and basically just played James Bond, and somehow it all came together into the only Michael Bay film in the Criterion Collection? The Rock absolutely should not work — and absolutely does.
