Rocco Botte Podcasts

Didn't we just do this episode? Like, yesterday? Oh, silly us! We're just watching and talking about Groundhog Day, one of the most iconic Bill Murray movies about one day repeating forever. We all saw this when we were younger, but haven't revisited it in a good while. Want to see what we thought? We got you, babe!…

It just hit us how many awful DVDs we watched on the road, so let’s review them all! We also reviewed some good movies like Godzilla Minus One and told some stories about filming our DBZ video.By Mega64 Inc.

It's Oscar season (or it was when we recorded this), so we might as well start diving into the good stuff now and see some long, quiet movies about music composers. None of us had seen (or knew anything about) Tar (2022), but it's got some awards season buzz, so we figured it was time to give it a watch. Who will enjoy it? Who won't? And who's canc…

After a crazy Thanksgiving weekend, our little family is back in the studio to finally talk about stories from our tour and all the video games we’ve played. We saw the Grand Canyon, got to see Francis Ford Coppola's private screening room, and got the new steam deck with a possum game included. What could be better than this?…

Our friends urged us to see it. YOU insisted we see it. So... we saw it. And what do we even say here? There's so much to touch on- fire, water, bullets, tigers- just about everything ever made shows up at some point in this 3+ hour Indian epic. And this episode's length is equally as vast! Watch our thoughts and feelings on RRR... you may be surpr…

We traveled to all the biggest theme park haunts in the nation: Halloween Horror Nights at Universal, Knott's Scary Farm, and of course, an abandoned local childhood theme park in San Diego too.

*We are on tour right now so we are putting up 2 episodes of movie club up early! Listen now or wait till Tuesdays... The choice is yours!We all watched Home Alone 2 once again. We've all confirmed our love for the first movie a million times, but how has the sequel aged? We talk about it AND discuss the nature of sequels- can they retroactively af…

We simply couldn't conclude a year of Mega64 Movie Club episodes without paying one last visit to the Sand-man! We saw Adam Sandler's comedic side once again in our Happy Gilmore episode, so let's finally get to see him bring the drama in Uncut Gems. Shawn has very explicitly said he didn't want to see this because it looked "stressful," so let's m…

Looks like there was a mix-up and we have two special guests this week: video essay mastermind Super Eyepatch Wolf and Eric Baudour (not sure who he works for). We talk about how to become the ultimate beta male (way better than an alpha), The Simpsons, and a cool trick we saw a bear do.By Mega64 Inc.

We're back for an all new Creepy Old Crypt episode from in the studio with special guest Johnny!

This week on Movie Club we're paying respects to some other filmmakers shooting low budget stuff in San Diego!

Man, that title was a mouthful. Anyway, Movie Club is back and we're doing something a little different. We watched the first 3 episodes of Lord Of The Rings - The Rings of Power! 3 hours worth of TV is pretty equal to a movie, right? Let's dig into the mines beneath this Middle Earth streaming epic and see what all of us thought about it!…

In this week’s episode, we tell stories of the most ANNOYING day of filming we just had, courtesy of the unrelenting California sun and a bunch of annoying children. All that, plus our take on California fast food, the hurricane that hit our state at the same time as an earthquake, and other gripping stories of nothing happening.…

Tom Hanks had a ton of movies in the 80's, just like this one. Except this one is... actually a 90s movie? Where he wants to jump into a volcano? How had none of us seen this before? Even Hanks-heads may have skipped this in the past, but we're diving head first into Joe Vs. The Volcano!By Mega64 Inc.

Straight from the sewer and into your home! All of us have fairly formative memories of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from our youth- and at the center was a major TMNT motion picture!

For our returning full-group episode of Movie Club, we're paying a visit to two criminals we always heard about, but never really knew all their history. Well, apparently we chose a bad place to do our research, because this film version of Bonnie & Clyde is apparently not too historically accurate. But does that matter in a movie like this? Give u…
