We're back from ITHACON, but we mustn't dwell, no, not today! We can't! Not on Rex Manning Day! We're rewinding to 1995 at the height of the record store boom. Directed by Allan Moyle and written by Carol Heikkinen, with an ensemble cast including Anthony LaPaglia, Maxwell Caulfield, Debi Mazar, Rory Cochrane, Johnny Whitworth, Robin Tunney, Renée Zellweger, and Liv Tyler, this comedy follows a group of record store employees through a wild twenty-four hours on that particular April 8th. Unfortunately, the film bombed spectacularly at the box office and was panned by critics at the time of release, but its eclectic soundtrack and stacked cast of future stars have made it into something of a cult favorite in the intervening years. But is this flick really The Breakfast Club for Elder Millennials, or does Empire Records belong in the bargain bin?

Get ready to "Damn the man! Save the Empire!" because this week on Shoot The Hostage, Dan and Sarah are diving deep into the gloriously messy, utterly 90s, and undeniably flopped cinematic experience that is Empire Records (1995). It's not quite Rex Manning Day just yet, depending on when you're listening, but we're close enough to celebrate this box-office flop that holds a special, possibly embarrassing, place in at least one of our hearts. Join us as we try to figure out why this ensemble piece, directed by Allan Moyle and written by Carol Heikkinen, starring a fresh-faced bunch including Liv Tyler, Renèe Zellweger, Robin Tunney, Ethan Embry... and even a fleeting credit for a certain Tobey Maguire (who may or may not have been lost to the 90s haze on set) failed to ignite the box-office despite its killer soundtrack. Expect the usual blend of questionable observations and sarcastic commentary as we dissect this quintessential movie released in the 90s. We also ponder: Questionable romantic gestures involving feet Sarah's nostalgic love for this film and Dan's slow but steady descent into not-quite-hate Our general bewilderment at the sheer volume of music crammed into 90-odd minutes Comparisons to the Breakfast Club (which we covered – check it out) And why this might have flopped at the box-office If you're a fan of hangout movies in the vein of Richard Linklater's character-driven narratives or the retail-centric vibes of early Kevin Smith flicks, you might find something to love (or at least tolerate) in Empire Records. So, tune in for spoilers aplenty, personal anecdotes, and a deep dive into a film that may have flopped at the box office but definitely left a lasting impression (on some of us, anyway). You might even find yourself wanting to celebrate Rex Manning Day after listening… or maybe not. You've been warned!

[School of Movies 2025] A cult favourite hangout movie about working in a CD shop in the mid-90s. This one was directed by Allan Moyle, who previously helmed another music-centric, coming-of-age teen drama that should have been way more of a hit; Pump Up the Volume (1990). Statistically almost none of you have seen this, as it's the kind of movie you need a good friend to sit you down with after hearing that you've never seen it, and immediately declared "We're watching this!" Well, we are that friend today, and we are going to detail why this one is worthy of love. It's painfully white, extremely straight and concerns itself with the now-antiquated dichotomy of MTV marketability versus independent spirit, but considering Spotify Killed the Video Star, the themes are still relevant, and the ragtag cast of teens are quirky enough to make this a breezy, endlessly-quotable rewatch. Damn The Man, save The Empire.
One of the least explored subgenres in cinema is the short-lived, radical category known as "punk film." This genre emerged in response to the rise of punk music in the late 1970s, which served as a counterpoint to the hedonistic glam of disco and dance music—a genre I also enjoy. However, punk's emergence was more than just a musical trend; it was a political reaction against the shift toward right-wing and neoliberal policies in Britain and America. Punk embraced a "DIY (Do It Yourself)" ethos that challenged the notion of expertise as an elitist barrier to creative expression. With this DIY spirit, anyone could participate and create without needing to be a skilled musician or filmmaker. Notable examples of punk cinema include Susan Seidelman's *Smithereens* (1982), Allan Moyle's *Times Square* (1980), Julien Temple's *The Great Rock and Roll Swindle* (1980), and Gregg Araki's *The Doom Generation* (1994). However, the film that arguably stands as the "Citizen Kane" of punk cinema is Alex Cox's *Repo Man* (1984). This visionary film captured the punk ethos of early 1980s Los Angeles. *Repo Man* is smart, bizarre, hilarious, and cosmic—making it one of the standout films of the underground cinema of that decade. Join Azed and Tom as they explore this remarkable work by the often-overlooked Alex Cox.
Welcome to The Video Store Podcast. Each week, I recommend four films you might want to check out, whether you're looking for something to rent or just want to expand your movie knowledge. This week, I'm diving into a themes that are timeless and relatable: rebellion, youth, and the struggles of growing up. The four films I'm highlighting are Over the Edge (1979), Times Square (1980), River's Edge (1986), and Pump Up the Volume (1990).Over the Edge (1979)This cult classic explores suburban boredom and teenage rebellion. It was loosely inspired by a real-life incident in California during the 1970s, where teens rioted in response to restrictions imposed by their parents and local authorities. It's notable for being Matt Dillon's film debut. He plays Richie, one of the kids at the center of the chaos. Directed by Jonathan Kaplan, the film's gritty realism was a little too much for studios at the time, it barely saw a release but later gained a loyal following through home video. The soundtrack, packed with Cheap Trick and The Cars, perfectly captures the direction of rock music of the late '70s.Times Square (1980)This film might not be as polished, but it's bursting with energy and heart. Directed by Allan Moyle, who later did Pump Up the Volume, it tells the story of two misfit girls who form a punk band and try to take over New York City. The movie feels raw, both in tone and execution, and the soundtrack is amazing, featuring artists like The Ramones, Talking Heads, and Patti Smith. Tim Curry has a supporting role as a late-night DJ, and his performance ties the whole rebellious tone together. The production was troubled, with studio interference cutting down the original vision, but what remains is still unforgettable. I love the way it capture the city itself as a character.River's Edge (1986)This is a darker take on teenage life, based on a true crime story where a group of teens reacted disturbingly casually to a murder in their group. It's an unsettling and atmospheric film, directed by Tim Hunter, who went on to direct episodes of Twin Peaks. Keanu Reeves gives one of his early standout performances, alongside Crispin Glover, who turns in an incredibly strange and intense portrayal as Layne, the self-proclaimed leader of the group. Dennis Hopper is also in this, playing Feck, a creepy recluse with a dark past. The film captures the nihilism of the mid-'80s, reflecting on the emptiness some teens felt during that time. This didn't appeal to me at the time because I didn't feel that same nihilism, but the older I have gotten, the more I can appreciate it.Pump Up the Volume (1990)This film is a little more hopeful, but it's still about rebellion. Christian Slater stars as Mark, a shy high schooler who runs a pirate radio station at night, encouraging his fellow students to fight back against corruption and conformity. It's another film by Allan Moyle, and you can feel his knack for capturing the spirit of young outsiders. The film touches on some surprisingly heavy issues, but it balances that with humor and energy. I think every kid who saw this thought about what their own pirate radio station would sound like.If you're looking for something to watch this week, all four of these films tap into the raw emotions of youth, with characters who are struggling to be heard in a world that doesn't always want to listen. Check them out, and let me know what you think.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

Vulture TV Critic and former Whole Movie Podcast cohost Roxana Hadadi joins us at last, and the film she brought is one for the ages! PUMP UP THE VOLUME was released in 1990 and yes, it's a time capsule of teenaged Gen-X angst. But it's also weirdly timeless, relevant, and stirring. Roxana is a Millennial, but she's carried both sides of "Hard Harry" -- unapologetically anti-establishment media figure and shy, awkward artist -- with her throughout her life.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Roxana Hadadi
This week we are discuss the second album from Living Colour, Time's Up. We also talk about the movie, Pump Up the Volume, from director Allan Moyle. Both of those came out the week of August 18, 1990. With guest, Brian Vaccaro. Time's Up Pump Up the Volume
We're closing out our Allan Moyle mini-series with his 1980 coming-of-age drama, Times Square. This is the first movie we've covered that wasn't already one of our favorites, and it was kind of fascinating to see how many of our recurring themes also show up in this movie. We discuss the queer history of the movie's making, its Moyle-esque soundtrack, how the film manages to act as a (certainly romanticized) snapshot of New York City in the 80s, and even manage to tie in our favorite Tomboy-focused dissertation.Next week, we're shifting away from movies we consider foundational to our identities as two queer women from Jersey. Jodie's picked a much more recent film, Geremy Jasper's Patti Cake$. Released in 2017, it's an extremely Jersey movie about a young North Jersey woman who dreams of making it as a rapper. It stars Danielle Macdonald and one of our favorites, Bridget Everett. Here's where you can rent it.Mentioned in this episode:For the fiftieth time, just read it already: Unhappy Medium: Filmic Tomboy Narrative And Queer Feminist Spectatorship by Lynne StahlWhen in doubt, look at a chart.Vanishing New York: How a Great City Lost Its Soul by Jeremiah MossIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

It's a big day here at Watchers HQ–not Rex Manning Day big, but still, pretty big. We're watching Andrea's most beloved movie, Empire Records. We discuss the reasons this movie bombed and how it became a cult classic. We talk about what makes it feel like a real Jersey movie, even though it's mostly set in Delaware. Andrea reflects on why this movie takes up such a special place in her heart and Jodie weighs in on what it felt like to watch it for the first time as an adult. And, of course, we talk about its iconic 90s soundtrack.Next week, we're closing out our trio of Allan Moyle-directed films with his 1980 teen drama, Times Square.

Yellowjackets might be taking a break, but The Watchers doesn't quit. Jodie and Andrea are using the off-season break to share the movies that made them the kind of people who were destined to be obsessed with a show like Yellowjackets.We've reached a pivotal moment in The Watchers history. Jodie has finally made us watch what might be the most formative movie of her younger years, the 1990 Christian Slater coming-of-age teen drama, Pump Up the Volume. We talk about teenage rebellion, youth empowerment, out-of-touch authority figures, and this movie's incredible soundtrack. Also, Samantha Mathis. Next week, Andrea is bringing the movie most important to her youth, 1995's Empire Records, which, coincidentally, shares a director with Pump Up the Volume, Allan Moyle.

Retour sur "Pump Up the Volume" de Allan Moyle avec Christian Slater et Samantha Mathis. Un film qui malgré son échec en salles, parviendra tout de même à connaitre un certain succès et finira par marquer toute une génération au début des années 90 grâce à sa sortie en VHS.Un teen movie sombre, un pamphlet anti-système qui reste toujours aussi fort plus de 30 ans après sa sortie.Sans oublier une bande originale qui lança l'énorme mouvement rock indépendant des années 90.
Mark and Erik and discuss the 1995 cult classic Empire Records. Directed by Allan Moyle, and starring Liv Tyler, Ethan Embry and Renée Zellweger, the movie focuses on the shenanigans that occur at a bustling record store. In this episode, they also talk about Rex Manning, excellent store managers, and why this film has become such a beloved cult classic. Enjoy!
What an episode in so many ways that it's hard to know where to begin in even writing an introduction. The first ten minutes are mostly about me remembering a friend and film critic near and dear to many of us along with promoting and supporting an upcoming film festival as well. I hope you won't skip over the beginning since it would mean a lot if you listened to the tribute about someone very important to my life and to the lives of many. There will be more words and a separate write-up on that to come. Of course the bulk of this episode surrounds the work of a filmmaker that also means a lot to me personally: Allan Moyle - a name I'm sure you know by now due to how many times I've mentioned the film PUMP UP THE VOLUME on this podcast. But what about his other work as well? My guests today are recurring co-host and Supporting Characters host Bill Ackerman and a delightful and accomplished newcomer, co-host of The Important Cinema Club Podcast, Justin Decloux. All three of us have a lot to say about different personal experiences not just involving Allan Moyle's work, including TIMES SQUARE and EMPIRE RECORDS, but early on, due to this coming out in October, we provide various horror film recommendations that we consider to be “outside the box” (though mine are certainly ones I've championed in the past but they're now available to stream via The Criterion Channel). Be sure to grab a pen and paper to jot down some titles! This was recorded during an emotional time to be sure (what a year) but I'm truly grateful to my guests for coming on with short notice for this discussion and stay tuned to the feed for much more to come. The spirit of friend / hero and Chicago film historian Sergio Mims is infused in this episode as you'll hear. We are thinking of him and his many friends and family. Stay tuned for more information about an upcoming tribute to him at the Black Harvest Film Festival at the Gene Siskel Film Center. 00:00 - 10:20 - Introduction / Sergio Mims10:21 - 17:00 - Intro To The Show17:01 - 53:49 - Horror Recommendations For This Month53:50 - 01:35:38 - The Rubber Gun, Times Square01:35:39 - 02:04:39 - Pump Up The Volume02:04:40 - 02:33:46 - Empire Records, New Waterford Girl02:33:46 - 02:55:35 - Other Moyle Films / Top 3 / Outro Bill's Conversation With Sergio Mims:http://www.nowplayingnetwork.net/supportingcharacters/episode45 More About Sergio Mims:https://chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2022/10/6/23391442/sergio-mims-movie-critic-black-harvest-film-festival-obituary Mental Filmness Film Festival (Virtual):https://mentalfilmness2022.eventive.org/films Mental Filmness Film Festival (Live):https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mental-filmness-live-a-film-festival-about-mental-health-tickets-428260537797 Criterion Channel (80s Horror):https://www.criterionchannel.com/80s-horror Learn More About Justin & The Important Cinema Club:https://www.filmtrap.com

With today's episode drop, we're moving into a new mini-block of themed episodes, all of which involve music in one way or another. And in this episode we start where most people did when it came to music back in the day: in the record shop. This despite the fact that by the time either of these films came out, vinyl was considered a more or less quaint format for music. We begin with 1995's Empire Records, directed by Allan Moyle and starring a lot of people who weren't honest-to-god stars yet, so you'll have a lot of "Ermahgerd, they're such babies here!" and you'd be correct. This is one of those films that takes place over roughly a 24-hour period (probably just a little longer), and a bunch of lives manage to change in a big way during that day. From there we move to High Fidelity (2000), directed by Stephen Frears and starring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Jack Black and a couple of surprises here and there. It's a spot-on look at the near-middle-aged man's psyche just before he realizes that he can't keep on doing stuff the way he's been doing it so far. So again, by the end of the film lives change, but it just takes a little longer. COMING ATTRACTIONS: Our next episode is a fun one, as we look at a couple of biographical movies that are presented in a rather unconventional way. We'll start with 2007's I'm Not There, directed by Todd Haynes, and then move on to Love and Mercy from 2014, directed by Bill Pohlad. Interestingly, they have something in common not only with each other, but with the recent Elvis biopic, which hadn't yet been released at the time we recorded that episode. So watch this space for that detail. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support
57 - Times Square (1980) / The Apple (1998) This week, mom and dad are out of town and we're throwing a house party with Allan Moyle's punk anthems, Samira Makhmalbaf's stolen ice cream, and a six-pack of self-discovery.
Before Vince and Bobbie unleash Part 3 of a special 4 part series celebrating the 40th Anniversary of legendary goth/post-punk icon Andi Sex Gang and his band Sex Gang Children, they debut a new segment on the podcast: Music Movie Review! For their initial review, your beloved hosts take on Allan Moyle's 1980 cult classic "Times Square" and it's amazing soundtrack. Does the film deserve its cult status, or is it just coasting on the cool songs from Roxy Music, the Cure, Gary Numan, David Johansen, XTC and others?The music discussed in this episode is in our Spotify Episode #14 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/572K9KvD7ZouUq9bo8EXDw
In this second half of Episode 40, we look at Terence Malick's The Thin Red Line, which spends its time at Guadalcanal, the first major offensive in the Pacific Theater during World War Two. COMING ATTRACTIONS: We're finally breaking away from this series (though we hope you had fun with it) and moving into a bunch of films that have lots of music in them. First, we're taking a trip to the record store to peek in on Empire Records, directed by Allan Moyle and starring a bunch of people shortly before they became big names. Then we jump to the year 2000 and Stephen Frears' High Fidelity, starring a bunch of people who are already big names. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support

Those changes will be confirmed in the months to come but this episode is mainly just a quick showcase regarding the movie that changed my life forever. I've talked about it a lot in the past and have done some interviews about it. Here, I just put three excerpts together of moments where I discuss the film PUMP UP THE VOLUME with others including writer/director Allan Moyle and actress Samantha Mathis. Mathis also talks about River Phoenix and working with Peter Bogdanovich which I felt was timely to include. Later on I play an extended clip from Corey Pierce's The Soundtrack Of Your Life which is a now-defunct podcast that I highly recommend checking out all episodes of which I linked below. I figured with Episode 200 around the corner (technically 300 with bonus episodes), I'd mention again why this film means so much to me for its partially responsible for turning me into the podcaster / cinephile that I am today. Thank you to everyone for the email entries for the contest and for your kind words and encouragement these past 11 years. It means a lot to me, truly.

After something of a hiatus from the main feed, this week the band is back together with our look at (the most recent, Rob) THE ACCUSED. We talk about how this film undercuts expectations, what it has to say about the experiences of children as opposed to adults, and the in some ways chilling ending of the movie. Next Up The next film on our Latin American road trip is 2001's 25 WATTS from Uruguay.

Share a special brownie with your favorite 90s boyfriend Ethan Embry because it's time for us to celebrate Rex Manning Day, aka Allan Moyle's Empire Records. Did you know there was an alternate universe edit of this movie that actually explains everyone's motivations? Why were the 90s so lily white? What happened to the dog from the movie poster? And can we ever look at blue cheese the same way again? This is the episode where all agree Renée Zellweger is a better friend—and actor—than Liv Tyler.Read Randall's full episode notes at yourenofun.com.And follow us on Instagram and Twitter.

[School of Movies 2021] A movie nobody has seen, but we want to tell you about. A movie that was barely released in the cinema, on VHS, DVD and now Blu Ray. A movie unavailable to legitimately stream anywhere. A movie about a pirate radio station speaking truth to power and making silenced voices heard. This one came out in 1990, it's directed by Allan Moyle who was behind Times Square (1980) and Empire Records (1995). The three films, spread across fifteen years all speak of disaffected kids, cast aside by a society they aren't able to comfortably slot themselves into, and their subsequent means of rebellious self-expression. They're all worth watching (with Empire being the lightest and easiest to underestimate). You should absolutely listen if you haven't heard it, because we have effectively adapted the story for radio. And because this movie is so punk, once you've listened we did find a way you could then watch it Pump up the Volume at Archive.org
Talk Hard. This is one of those films that's reached cult status. One of the most poignant and timeless stories of teen emotions, and open thoughts on a pirated radio station. Me and Charles talk about how we're obsessed with Christian Slater, how great the theme is, and the incredible AMAZING soundtrack.--- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslam Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com

Our next film in the high school genre is the 1996 horror/comedy/supernatural drama THE CRAFT. After some largely positive reviews, we talk about how this is ultimately a film about knowing your place, while also being a feminist revenge fantasy, and also discuss the way in which this film exists at the confluence of supernatural battles and teenage toxicity. Next Time The next ‘high school' film in our series is the 1999 movie 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU.

At one point in the episode, we spend some time talking about the racial abuse suffered by Rochelle; this article is pertinent to this. Sam talks about the links between this week's film and one about a similar experience — although admittedly a very masculine-centred one — from the previous decade; our episode about THE LOST BOYS is here. Finally, on the subject of the particularly toxic elements of ‘nerd fandom' culture, see here.
The next film in our ‘high school' season is Richard Linklater's DAZED AND CONFUSED, from 1993. After perhaps contrasting reviews, we go on to talk about fragmented teenaged memories, gender, and why rites of passage are important on screen.

This is quite a serious explanation of ‘hazing' (though, as we discussed, it's something that the film in fact does take seriously, and does look negatively on): www.deanofstudents.umich.edu/article/what-hazing. When talking about gender stereotypes on film, this list is a nice antidote: www.commonsensemedia.org/lists/movies-that-defy-gender-stereotypes.

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, changes in the Harry Potter franchise, and a cult hit from a reluctant director. 2004's Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban (2004) saw the popular series in need of a mini-course correction, and some notable personnel changes. Allan Moyle, meanwhile, had John Cusack in mind for his 1990 movie Pump Up The Volume. And he wasn't keen to direct it. Stories of both are discussed in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. You can find the Film Stories website here.
Today's guest is one of the reasons why I fell in love with movies and started working on solving the mysteries behind my own mental health. As many of you know, PUMP UP THE VOLUME had a monumental impact on me and shed some light on the depression I experienced as a teenager. Seeing it gave me hope, and a couple years ago, I was lucky enough to express my gratitude to the writer/director Allan Moyle. Samantha Mathis played Nora in that film, but her entire catalog of performances throughout the years is beyond impressive. And boy, does she share some great stories. She's worked with a wide array of talented actors, writers, and directors too numerous to list here. We did our very best to cover as much as we could including THE THING CALLED LOVE, THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, BROKEN ARROW, AMERICAN PSYCHO, and so much more. She's also appeared on several TV shows including LOST, THE STRAIN, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM and you can soon see her as Sara Hammon in the latest season of BILLIONS starting in March. I can't say enough good things about this interview and her wonderful insights, experiences, and passions that she was kind enough to share. Thank you so much to Samantha, and much gratitude to you for listening. Talk hard! 00:00 - 09:43 - Introduction 09:44 - 1:03:15 - Interview

Le N-word est au coeur de la thèse d’un étudiant blanc et riche de Berkeley. Son intérêt vire à l’obsession et Adam rejoint le petit monde des battles de rap. Bien plus qu’un film sur le hip-hop, le troisième long-métrage du réalisateur de clips Joseph Kahn, en partie produit par Eminem et sorti en exclusivité sur Youtube Premium, est une comédie sur la liberté d’expression et le politiquement correct qui pose notamment la question de l’hypocrisie des médias vis-à-vis du rap. Toujours en mouvement jusqu’à en devenir éreintant, le film dans un réalisme pop abuse parfois de références et manque légèrement de premier degré, mais va au delà d’une comédie classique pour se rapprocher de la bande dessinée et de l’humour Tex Avery. Tout en restant subtil, Bodied est fou et intense. Animé par Lelo Jimmy Batista, David Honnorat et Perrine Quennesson.

On jase aussi du cinéaste/scénariste du film, le québécois Allan Moyle, qui amorce une trilogie "musical therapy" avec TIMES SQUARE (1980), se poursuit avec PUMP UP THE VOLUME (1990) et se termine avec EMPIRE RECORDS (1995). Comment ce film a donné le goût à bon nombres de jeunes de l'époque de faire de la radio et leurs a ouvert une porte vers un univers musical. Comme à l'habitude, l'émission devient éventuellement très personnelle. STAY HARD !

Merry New Year and Happy Christmas to all. What I have prepared for you is a gift that I will call the "Royal Sampler Volume One." It contains short clips from all the podcasts featured at The Now Playing Network, as well as extended highlights from Supporting Characters & Director's Club from over the years. You also get a brief glimpse into some of my interviewing skills with various guests over the years. There's also some kind of unusual collage towards the end. This is a special episode, highlighting the talented folks of NPN for the first half, and then highlighting some of the better moments from the recent wave of Director's Club episodes.

RECORDED AS POP CULTURE CLUB: Instead of the usual rambling intro and outro for this particular episode, I decided to let this conversation exist as is, unedited. It's a follow-up phone call to the great Allan Moyle (PUMP UP THE VOLUME). If you haven't heard Part One of our conversation, I highly encourage you to begin there first since that's how the magic began. The description from Part One is relisted below so you get the whole story as to why these interviews mean a lot to me. Part One: http://popcultureclub.net/episodes/allanmoyle Well everyone, after a couple of months of waiting in anticipation, I was able to get a hold of Allan Moyle. "Who?!" you might ask. Well, he's responsible for films such as TIMES SQUARE, EMPIRE RECORDS, NEW WATERFORD GIRL, and many more. But the film that has a special place in my heart, as listeners should know, is his 1990 teenage rebellion masterpiece PUMP UP THE VOLUME. At the time of viewing this movie, I wasn't the biggest fan of Christian Slater, my music taste was limited, and I was going through my first experience of severe depression. Then my favorite film critic, Nick Digilio of WGN Radio, reviewed PUMP in the summer of 1990. I went to see it, and my life was forever changed. It didn't cure me of depression obviously, but it helped and gave me a renewed sense of hope. A faith that cinema and art could also transform into a therapeutic, enlightening experience. I felt a connection to the character and to the material for the first time in my life to where I saw myself on-screen and knew I wanted to discover more music and movies to feel that kind of awe and euphoria again. So for all these reasons, I spend the beginning of our conversation revealing a lot of what I went through to Allan Moyle. He was taken aback, and the "interview" became more of a friendly conversation about my experiences, his current state of mind, what it was like making PUMP, and a whole lot more. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another conversation on the horizon since we barely scratched the surface behind Allan's incredible career. This very well may become its own series of talks that I share so stay tuned for another possible follow-up! Visit: http://nowplayingnetwork.net

Pump Up the Volume stars Christian Slater as Hard Harry, a pirate DJ who rants about life as a high school student and the injustices of the world.
THE MILKSHAKE BOOM mustn't dwell. No, not today. Because today is Rex Manning Day! Say No More Mon Amour, because we take the trip back to 1995 to revisit the coming of age cult film 'Empire Records' directed by Allan Moyle and starring Liv Tyler, Renee Zellweger, Ethan Embry, Robin Tunney, and Rory Cochrane! Since working at a record store is an entry level job, we talk about our first job experiences, the differences between the theatrical version and 'remix fan edit' version of this movie, some of our personal experiences meeting famous musicians, and Christine fiercely defends the musical culture of Canada from the ignorant Americans on the podcast! Damn the man! Save the Empire...or face the wrath of Canada!
Movie Meltdown - Episode 314 This week, among our other geek activities, we also recap our road trip where we met Jack Noseworthy and sat down for an interview with the lovely and talented Samantha Mathis. Whom our host my or may not have had a huge crush on back in the day. In fact, it might still be going on. And while we delve into the most expensive movie ever made in 1991, we also discuss... did Joss Whedon steal his ideas, sitting on an apple box, the most star-studded cast, Project Almanac, Lala Sloatman, Bella Thorne, Wilmington, a masterful grasp of the English language, John Woo, Fear Street, I'm chocked full of literacy, is Dura a name?, The Thing Called Love, Scooby Doo, Brooklyn or Manhattan, John Leguizamo, the press tour to Japan, Peter Bogdanovich, running in a ravine in sand, it's so bloody... and there's an arm, "T Bone" Burnett, playing cat and mouse with me, and you live by the Sorkin word, I'd never seen anyone use so many cameras, a commercial for Lollapalooza, super star-struck and intimidated, a hundred feet of squibs, Nessie, time travel 101, Chef, with him... goes away so much history about cinema, Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn, Blue Velvet, I'm sitting on set with Meathead, all right so who's got their underwear on and who doesn't?, playing with the boys and the toys, we are NOT making Achy Breaky Heart!, very precise, animal bits, Ancient Aliens, Bob Hoskins, Corey Haim, The American President, Idle Hands, one of them made a sound, April Fool's Day, cotton balls, this is a public service announcement, Max Headroom, giving Hitler a wedgie, piggy-back rides, Supernatural, Allan Moyle, Dennis Hopper, doing an art project with Craig Sheffer, Dead at 21, a challenging career, Broken Arrow, taking down time and space for a useful relationship, music licensing, disabled water fountains, Princess Daisy's in a castle, jamming on a street corner and Pump up the Volume. Spoiler Alert: We discuss the book "The Little White Trip: A Night In the Pines" so major spoilers for that book, and sort of for "Cabin in the Woods". Also Bryan reveals the Samantha-related spoiler for season 1 of "Under the Dome". You have been warned. "I build from the outside in."
This film takes place when NYC was still the sleazy sex driven porn laced city that it was. A coming of age story where two inner city girls meet and become unlikely friends. Surprisingly, there is quite a bit to the story. Check it out.
downloadon iTunesThere were times in this podcast when th dead air stretched out before us like a highway cutting through th Canadian wilderness. Billy Ray Stupendous and I were cool w/ it as we emulated th chillness of our esteemed Canadian guests, Toronto's Phil B and Winnipeg's Michael Dwilow, who hold court on th greatness, th bashfulness, th emotional weirdness, and th relative invisibility of th land known to people in my neighbourhood as "Canadia". Listen as Billy and I indulge in a nostalgic callback to our shared coming-of-age to Allan Moyle's Pump Up th Volume (1990). (Yes, Moyle is Canadian.) Learn th fate of th Loyalists from th American Revolution. Slap yr own head in astonishment as one of th world's most beloved superheroes is outed. Picture Chester Brown's m-bation technique.
