What's going on?

I am Nando.

And I'm DJ.

And I am Herr Diggins.

And this is mostly nitpicking a podcast for every week.

We pick a part of a piece of pop culture by looking exclusively at the details.

Woo-hoo!

This week, we're doing, we got a little bit of a break in movies coming out.

So we're doing one of the movies that we said we would do for a thing.

For a charity thing, I assume I cannot remember exactly what.

This came up during the RRR stream.

This is the only one I was trying to find the name of the person who submitted it and I could not.

Let us know, listener.

Well, like The Rocketeer, some anonymous hero is the reason for this episode.

So, yeah, this week we're going to be doing 1991's The Rocketeer, a movie that, I don't know, it's kind of relevant, I guess, maybe.

They're going to reboot it.

They keep saying.

It's an older superhero movie, so in a way it presaged our current, you know, studio hellscape.

That's true. Yeah. But is he a superhero? Can you be a superhero for the end of the movie? Like, somebody goes, all right, so it's my Iron Man's here. I'm going to take it back. And it's like, okay. And then that's all. So, Jennifer Connolly goes, here's a thing to build a new art. That's true.

This guy's an idiot, though.

This is based on a Golden Age comic book. So there's that, too. That makes sense. I was curious about that because it seems just generic enough that it could have been a handcock situation where they just went, we'll make a superhero. What's his name? What's the power? He could fly with a rocket. But also, it could have been one of the first superheroes. And then, yeah, like, Golden Age characters didn't really need that much going on. They just needed kind of a fancy name and a hat. So he has both of those. Nando, you played Disney Infinity when that game existed, right? I did, yeah.

Was the Rocketeer one of the characters you could play in Disney. I don't think you could play him, but I think it was in there somewhere. There's a Disney game. I want to say, I don't remember if they had like assist trophies, but there was definitely, like, I can remember it. Maybe, you know what? Because some of the things you could get would be like power-ups that would be like a hat.
