- Join us once again for Deep in the Plus!
Each week, we pull a different movie or TV show from the Disney+ vault and tell you the history, the details, give our review, and tell you if it’s worth your time.
And now, we're back every Tuesday night at 9:00 PM (ET) for a new episode! Or catch us anytime on / wdwnt
This week, prepare yourself for a shock: It's the Rocketeer.
Based on the Dave Stevens comic series, this story is set in 1938 and features a struggling stunt pilot, Cliff Secord. Cliff and his partner Peevy are dreaming of flying in the nationals, until a strange rocket pack falls into their laps.
Meanwhile, Cliff's girlfriend, Jenny Blake, is trying to break into acting and meets up with Hollywood's 3rd biggest leading man Neville Sinclair, who may not be all that he seems.
Cliff uses the rocket to save his friend, and now the press has named him a hero called the Rocketeer! Cliff, Peevy and Jenny get caught in the crossfire as they're now being chased by the FBI, the Mob and German Spies who all want the rocket for themselves.
All caught up? Then grab a helmet and hold on, as we take you high in the sky and Deep in the Plus!

I always thought Rocketeer was fun Katie, but I respect you and that you have the right to your opinion
This is a movie that should have been a much bigger hit. I remember thinking the trailer was kinda iffy. But I was pleasantly surprised on opening night. I was amazed it didn't catch on. Marketing and timing were probably the biggest issues. It came out the week after Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which was the #2 movie of the year. City Slickers was still going strong, too. Rocketeer debuted at #4 opening weekend with those two topping it and a Julia Roberts drama in the #3 spot. A month later, Disney scores $60 million with a re-release of 101 Dalmatians.
This movie is a gem few really know about- an absolute blast from beginning to end! It's great it's getting it's time to shine again on D+ Thx for bringing this movie back into the light for future audiences!
Agree 100%, thanks so much for watching!
I went to the premiere at Disney World back in the 90's and ended up with a ton of swag!
That's awesome! Do you still have any of it?
@@RobWhiteside Yes and the poster is numbered.
When I got Disney+ working on my smart TV Rocketeer was the first movie i watched
What happened to your pick of the week???
@Christopher Browner
we actually stopped doing a pick of the week and opted to go longer on the movie review. Something we should bring back?
@@RobWhiteside Thanks for responding to my comment-and for reviewing this hidden-ish gem! I'm always in favor of more content and enjoyed hearing your and your guest's picks, so I'd be fine with a longer review and the picks of the week. The more the merrier, so to speak. But I understand that, now that you're a live show, you want to keep it to an hour. I will continue to be a big fan either way, but I can say that I always looked forward to the pick of the week because it offered a little more insight and personality into you and the guest each week. Keep up the great work!
Love the movie, even got the pc game that came out shortly after.
Jealous!
