Rock of Ages

Author: Rock N' Roll Theatre Podcast July 10, 2026 Duration: 39:40
Glam rock from the 1980s provides almost all of the source material for the 2012 film called Rock of Ages. Based on a musical of the same name, we find ourselves in a world mirroring the Los Angeles nightlife during those glory days of hair metal, but something still feels off. Join co-hosts Jon and Mark for a trip to the Bourbon Room to see Stacee Jaxx take the stage along with Arsenal, Wolfgang Von Colt, and even The Zee Guyeezz. Just remember to write your name on all your favourite albums...

Ever wondered what happens when the rebellious spirit of rock music crashes into the world of cinema? That's the central question driving Rock N' Roll Theatre, a podcast where hosts Jon and Mark dig into the messy, glorious, and often hilarious intersection of film and amplified guitars. This isn't just a review show; it's a deep dive into movies where the soundtrack is a central character, from iconic biopics and gritty documentaries to fictional tales where rock 'n' roll provides the heartbeat. In each episode, they pick apart a specific film, analyzing not just its cinematic merits but the cultural moment it captures and the music that defines it. You'll hear them debate whether a film truly understands the music it portrays, celebrate hidden gems, and good-naturedly argue over legendary flops. The conversation naturally flows between filmmaking technique, historical context, and pure musical appreciation, all delivered with the easy rapport of two friends who love talking about movies and the records that score them. Tune into this podcast for thoughtful, engaging discussions that are as much about the power of a great riff as they are about camera angles and plot. Rock N' Roll Theatre is for anyone who's ever left a movie theater humming a soundtrack and pondering how a few chords can elevate a story on screen.
