The Rocketeer is a 1991 American superhero film from Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Joe Johnston, it stars Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Timothy Dalton, Paul Sorvino, and Tiny Ron Taylor. It is based on the character of the same name created by comic book artist and writer Dave Stevens.

Set in 1938 Los Angeles, California, The Rocketeer tells the story of stunt pilot Cliff Secord, who discovers a hidden rocket pack that he thereafter uses to fly without the need of an aircraft. His heroic deeds soon attract the attention of Howard Hughes and the FBI, who are hunting for the missing rocket pack, as well as the Nazi operatives who stole it from Hughes. What's not to love?

We've got a packed house for this episode in Hollywoodland. Connor, Frank, Matt and Peter all made sure to clear their schedules to talk about what's become something of a hidden gem. Accompanied by a stellar score by James Horner, join the boys as we go back to the early days of the super hero genre.
