The Rocketeer (1991) and Blockers (2018)

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a much-loved 90s superhero film, and a comedy that took nearly a decade to get to the screen.

The Rocketeer was a big hope in 1991. It was switched to come out under the Disney label, and there were sequel plans too. And then its release happened.

As for Blockers, how a first-time movie director got the job - and how the film evolved into something rather special.

Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
