Rock on… or rock wrong? In this episode, Jeff and Josue crank up the volume and dive into the chaotic charisma of School of Rock (2003). Jack Black brings the thunder, the kids bring the talent, and Joan Cusack… brings the beer?


This is our 41st full episode, and it hits all the high notes:

  • 🎸 Music movie rankings
  • 👨‍🏫 Substitute teacher disasters
  • 🎭 Jack Black’s improv brilliance
  • 📢 The quote that launched a thousand memes: "You're not hardcore 'til you live hardcore"

Plus: connections to Newsies, That Thing You Do, and today’s Jack Black resurgence (The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Jumanji, and the latest — Minecraft).
