Beautiful Failures
009: The Rocketeer - He’s My Jam
This week’s review: The Rocketeer
In this week’s episode Sean & Matt talk about Joe Johnston’s 1991 film, The Rocketeer, which stars Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Timothy Dalton, and Paul Sorvino. Having worked on movies like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Joe Johnston has an incredible talent for capturing the 1930’s and 1940’s era feeling. He’d later bring that skill to the movie Captain America. This swash buckling, 1940’s serial adventure is a lot of fun.
