Video Junkyard Podcast
Do you ever get a flash of a memory of a movie you saw as a child, but can’t remember the name? Perhaps you caught it on TV while staying up later than you should have. Or maybe you never saw it, but you recognize the cover art from the neighborhood video store around the block. At the Video Junkyard, we dig up these forgotten films and franchises and see if they still hold up in the digital age. Hosts Erik Gulbrandsen, Joe Peterson and Ryan Steiskal will look at the best, the worst, and the best of the worst.

On this episode of the Video Junkyard Pocast, we continue our deep dive into 70s-80s "grown-up-oriented" animated music films (it's apparently a thing). This week we take a look at the 1983 film "Rock & Rule". Directed by Clive A. Smith, R&R is a futuristic sci-fi/fantasy story of evil mega-popstar "Mok" who manipulates an up-and-coming rock band to unleash a demonic force that will catapult him to world domination. But the music by Deborah Harry, Earth, Wind & Fire, Cheap Trick, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and the score by Patricia Cullen is the real selling point.
So how does Rock & Rule hold up after all these years? Check out the latest episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast to find out!
