Published: Sept. 16, 2022, 4 a.m.

b'Rock Of Ages was a 2012 film adaptation of the broadway musical of the same name, directed by Adam Shankman, and starring Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta alongside an ensemble cast including Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and many more. The film, which takes place in Los Angeles during the late 1980s, follows the romantic journeys of two fresh-faced young individuals trying to make it big in rock & roll, while the inevitable closure of an institution rock club looms overhead. Upon its release, the Rock Of Ages would be snubbed by critics who considered it bland and unappealing, disowned by the creators of the original broadway musical, and bombed at the box office.

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott welcome back return guests Rock Candy to discuss everything that they enjoyed about Rock Of Ages. (Spoiler: Nothing.) Join them for a thorough thrashing of this paen to 80s glam metal, as Lilz invokes the spirit of Aaron Neville, Scott licks Ewan MacGregor, and Ashleigh and Maggie still love Wings.
