The Popcornhead Podcast

Welcome Kernels and Cornheads to The Popcornhead Podcast!

Each week we will be analysing a different film, past or present, the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. We’ll talk pre-production, filming, our own thoughts, any historical context, and the occasional wormhole, things can get a little weird around here.

So if you enjoy film analysis from an often comical perspective, this is definitely for you!

School of Rock (2003)

November 13, 2024 • Gavin Wilton, Tom Brady, Rory Moore • Season 3 • Episode 24

This week we’re looking at Richard Linklater’s School of Rock!

Dewey Finn, an enthusiastic and somewhat obnoxious guitar player gets kicked out of his band. In his struggle to pay the rent, he ends up posing as his room mate Ned Shneebley, so he can work as a substitute teacher in a prestigious Prep school.

One of the greatest family films of the last 30 years, heartwarming and inspirational, with a terrific performance from Jack Black.

It was a film that parents could enjoy more than kids, but also introduced a new generation to classic rock music.

Let’s rock, let’s rock, today.
