Little Steven’s Underground Garage, the world’s only 24/7 rock and roll radio format dedicated to the coolest music ever made, announces the launch of a brand new weekly program: ‘Robbo At The Movies’, championing music and movies together, hosted by Robert Cotto of Renegade Nation and Wicked Cool Records. ‘Robbo At The Movies’ celebrates the long love affair between rock and roll and cinema, a relationship that has shaped generations of soundtracks, scenes, and cultural moments. Each week, Rob will explore a different theme: a classic film, a legendary director, an unforgettable actor, or even a television series known for its iconic needle drops.
Cotto shares, “Film and music have always shared a deep connection. After guest hosting an episode of The Underground Garage to promote ‘Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple’, the documentary that I produced, I was blown away when Stevie offered me this opportunity to develop a show about two of my greatest passions: cinema and rock and roll. Being part of telling Stevie’s story was one dream come true. Getting to join The Underground Garage in this capacity is another, something I’ve fantasized about since the show first hit the airwaves more than twenty years ago.” Van Zandt adds, “We’ve been searching for the perfect guy to do a movie show and we finally found him. We’ve been celebrating cool films in my short vocal breaks all along, but now there will be an entire weekly show dedicated to them. I can’t wait.” Each episode dives into how rock and roll has elevated film and television storytelling, from the rebellious energy of the ’50s and the anthemic sounds of the ’70s to today’s most impactful cultural touchstones. Robert Cotto is a Grammy-nominated filmmaker, producer, writer, and longtime member of the Renegade Nation and Wicked Cool Records family who co-produced the documentary ‘Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple’, which was nominated for Best Music Film at The 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
