Matinee Heroes

Matinee Heroes is a podcast dedicated to exploring hero cinema - from adventurers, heroes, and superheroes; from Jedi to buddy cops; from the Wild West, to the distant past, to futures both hopeful and dystopian, from ancient lands to the deepest reaches of outer space. In a time when we need heroes more than ever, Alan and Craig will try to understand just what makes our cinematic heroes tick, and how we can use that heroism in our everyday life.

THE ROCK

FBI chemical warfare expert Stanley Goodspeed is sent on an urgent mission with a former British spy, John Patrick Mason to stop a righteous General from launching chemical weapons on Alcatraz Island into San Francisco. The mad General demands $100 million in war reparations to be paid to the families of slain servicemen who died on covert operations. After their SEAL team is wiped out, Stanley and John deal with the soldiers on their own.

Craig, Alan and guest Billy Donnelly (@infamouskidd on twitter) discuss the indifference of Michael Bay, America’s need for mental health, irritating subordinates and the movie “The Rock” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
