Welcome back to the Video Store Podcast and a happy belated Record Store Day to you! Since you hang out at the Video Store, you are obviously a fan of physical media, and I hope that includes vinyl records. I've selected four films this week that look at films featuring records and record stores. High Fidelity (2000)First up is High Fidelity featuring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Todd Luiso, Jack Black, Lisa Bonet, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joan Cusack, and Tim Robbins. Reeling from a big break-up with Laura (Iben Hjejle), Rob Gordon (John Cusack), recounts to the audience his top 5 break-ups of all time, the same way he would his top 5 favorite albums. As he walks the audience through his break-ups, he starts to work through his relational issues. It's a film about working through your own problems, taking responsibility for how you've hurt other people, and trying to be better. And with its setting of Rob's record store, a killer soundtrack, and all the vinyl records everywhere, it's a great pick for this theme. Sing Street (2016)Sing Street is the best film nobody saw in 2016. Set in the early-mid 80s, Conor is forced to change schools due to the economic downturn in Ireland at the time and his parents' looming separation. Struggling to fit in, Conor finds solace in music and music videos with his brother Brendan. Conor decides he wants to start a band that forms an accidental community among his bandmates, an aspiring model, Raphina, and even the school bully. Conor and his friends start to find hope through music, even in a seemingly hopeless and desperate situation. There are loads of things to love about Sing Street, but the original music really makes this film something special. The soundtrack even got a vinyl release, so look for it at your local record shop, though, heads up, it's a bit hard to track down in the US. Pirate Radio (released as The Boat That Rocked in the UK) (2009)Set in 1966, Pirate Radio tells the story of a young teenage boy, Carl, who is sent to live with his godfather on Radio Rock, the pirate radio station ship anchored in the North Sea, broadcasting rock music to the UK. Featuring a killer ensemble cast, including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Billy Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, Emma Thompson, January Jones, Kenneth Branagh, Chris O'Dowd, and so many more, this is a wonderful film about getting into trouble for the right reasons. The film centers on the love of music and finding where you fit in. Plus, look at all that beautiful, vintage radio equipment and the shelves and shelves of records. Absolutely gorgeous. Empire Records (1995)The last film I've selected for today is Empire Records. While set in a record shop, this is a film that's really more about finding out who you are and finding where you fit. For the group of young misfits that work at Empire Records, it's right there at the record store. This is a story about protecting that found family and celebrating the good things in your life. Plus you'll want to have a dance party with your chosen family at the end of the movie. Thanks for joining us this week at the Video Store Podcast. As the great philosopher Corrine Bailey Rae says, “Girl, put your records on. Tell me your favorite song. Just go ahead let your hair down,” while you spin some records and movies about records.

In this episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick, Anthony, and Dan dive into Love & Mercy, the 2014 biopic about Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson. Unlike traditional musician biopics, this film takes a unique approach, following Wilson during two pivotal periods of his life—played by Paul Dano in the 1960s and John Cusack in the 1980s. The hosts discuss how this split timeline storytelling affects the film's emotional impact and whether it enhances or distracts from the narrative. Anthony, a fan of music history, praises the film's deep dive into Wilson's genius and struggles, while Nick and Dan debate whether the dual performances truly capture the essence of the troubled artist. The conversation naturally shifts to the film's depiction of the creative process behind Pet Sounds, one of the most influential albums of all time. The hosts analyze how Love & Mercy showcases Wilson's innovative techniques and obsessive perfectionism in the studio, bringing to life the making of iconic songs. Nick argues that these scenes are the heart of the film, immersing viewers in Wilson's artistic brilliance, while Dan points out how the tension with bandmates and his domineering father adds layers to the story. Anthony highlights the film's ability to make the audience feel both the joy of creation and the weight of Wilson's mental health struggles. Of course, the discussion wouldn't be complete without addressing Paul Giamatti's chilling performance as Dr. Eugene Landy, the manipulative therapist who controlled Wilson's life in the 1980s. The hosts dissect the disturbing power dynamics between Landy and Wilson, with Elise noting that John Cusack's subdued performance contrasts well against Giamatti's overwhelming presence. They also explore Elizabeth Banks' role as Melinda Ledbetter, Wilson's eventual savior, and whether her character's arc is given enough depth. By the end of the episode, the trio reflects on Love & Mercy's rewatchability. While its emotional weight and unconventional structure might not make it an easy, casual rewatch, its powerful performances, immersive storytelling, and reverence for Brian Wilson's artistry make it a compelling experience. Whether you're a die-hard Beach Boys fan or just appreciate a well-crafted biopic, this discussion will leave you with a greater appreciation for the man behind the music.   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903657/

As SpaceX and NASA elegantly brought Crew-9 down from outer space to splash into the waters of the Gulf of America, with dolphins cresting the surface to greet them upon their arrival, the lunatics on the Left were burning up the last remnants of their political capital. They were destroying Teslas. Yes, that's right. With a beautiful example of American exceptionalism playing out in front of the millions watching from home, the Left took the opportunity to march around in their poopie diapers and tell America that all they know how to do is destroy things. Anyone who might have regretted voting for Trump because they were moving too fast was suddenly reminded of why they voted for him in the first place. Because the other side is stark, raving bonkers.They have already humiliated themselves at Trump's address to Congress. Their approval numbers have never been lower. It isn't just that they are feckless, rudderless, and leaderless; they are also doing the one thing no political movement should ever do if it wants to rise to power: showing Americans that they are prepared to act out violently when they don't get their way.Granted, they have the luxury of an entire legacy press corps that will run cover for them, praise them, and pretend it's no big deal. But we know it's a big deal because we've been living with their violent outbursts for ten years. Now that they've decided to interpret Elon Musk's wave to the crowd as a Nazi salute, they feel more than justified to rally as a movement and wage war on a successful car company that produces electric cars. They want every wealthy liberal who ever bought a Tesla to regret it, sell it, or use one of those embarrassing stickers that signal to the mob to skip their car. They're one of the good guys. They hide behind billionaires this and oligarchs that, but they had absolutely no hesitation in bringing down hundreds of businesses, those that had somehow managed to survive lockdowns were then destroyed by a violent mob in the Summer of 2020. Remember Sue's 100-year-old mattress store in Kenosha? In their fever dream—and I promise I am not exaggerating, not even a little bit—they believe their acts of terror and vandalism against Teslas will bring down the company and force Musk into bankruptcy, so he will have to sell Twitter/X because they believe it was stolen from them. What you see on the modern Left is failure everywhere you look. A failed legacy media, a failing Hollywood, and an empire in collapse propped up a failed political party full of failed candidates. Here is failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz doing the Hitler salute while trashing a company he could never build, much less come close to making profitable. Walz is roaring back to prove that he didn't fail - he's still that Great White Hope they all said he was. All he has to do is signal to the mob that he can be as vicious as they need him to be. Here is a failed 80s heartthrob, John Cusack, who proves that old Johnny Boy never cracked open a history book. He's not only ignorant, he displays it openly on social media:Here is failed resistance warrior Rick Wilson, who must somehow keep the dream alive after Trump wiped up the floor with him, and very nearly destroyed his credibility. Wilson's infamous pre-election prediction that Trump would lose and lose badly looks a lot more like pissing in the wind, doesn't it:They're not in any condition to lead this country. They're behaving like those late-night rap sessions with Charlie on Spahn Ranch as they plot about the revolution. The look in the eyes of all the “resistance democrats” looks a lot like the crazy eyes of those Manson girls bragging about stabbing Sharon Tate. But here's the thing. They're making it all way too hard on themselves. There is an easier way. It's been right there the whole time. It is the answer to all that ails them. It will work like a charm if only they can embrace that they are the very thing they believe they've been fighting against.Embrace Your Inner Fascists, Democrats. It's time.The Democrats lost their minds so thoroughly and completely over Trump's win in 2016, that they decided this was now their country and everything in it belonged to them. They amassed an unprecedented alignment of power, uniting government with all cultural and corporate institutions. It was all for one and one for all. You know, like the very definition of fascism?All sticks bundled together as one! A fasci!Once they claimed most of American society for themselves, they were able to build a barrier, an “inside” that locked the bad people on the “outside.” Then, the purges began. Break our rules, and out you go. No one was safe, not the powerful, corporations, or the people. Conform or else, which is also the very definition of fascism.It would be Communism, except the Left needs to be seen as better, superior, smarter, more kind, more decent - not equal to everyone else. No, they don't believe that. Fascism, that's the answer. That's why they plunge lawn signs in front of their houses, to tell everyone else how superior they are but also to signal to the mob that they're on the right side. But to embrace your inner fascists, Democrats, you will have to start telling the truth about who you are. Why hide it by now?So let's rewrite this lawn sign, shall we? In this home, we believe:Dictatorship over democracy because democracy means the “wrong” people might win. They don't belong in OUR HOME. As fascists, you don't even need elections at all, and you kinda didn't, did you? Vote blue no matter who, elbow out any competition, force Biden on everyone, and then install Kamala Harris. See how close you already are?Solution: why not build gulags and have them all spirited away? So much easier. Stalin did it. Hitler did it. Mao did it. What's the problem, Democrats? Now, if Gwen Stefani accidentally posts a video with Tucker Carlson in it, or someone lets it slip they are friends with a Trump supporter or, gasp, voted for Trump themselves, you can simply lock them away instead of wasting all of your time and energy destroying their lives. Lies over truth: You lie all of the time, to yourselves and to other people—the legacy media lies. Hollywood lies. Women are men, and men are women, but gender is not binary. Solution: As fascists, there is no argument. You take complete control of the press (oh, wait, you already did) and force everyone to accept your version of the truth (oh wait, you already did!) and then mandate it so all must obey (yeah, you tried that, didn't work out so well). Division over unity: Admit it. You would prefer to be living in a segregated society with Trump supporters banned from your restaurants, your movie theaters, your schools, and your social media. You don't even hide it anymore. Solution: As fascists, you can simply beat them up, spit on them, knock the hats off their heads, kick them out of restaurants, and harass them on airplanes. Oh wait, you already did!Fear over hope: The side where people are afraid to say what they really think is the fascist side. Why are people afraid? Because they know what will happen to them if they ever tell the truth. Solution: Make lists. Stalin did it. Oh, I know he's technically not a fascist, but close enough. Fiction over Science: Like biological men aren't any different from biological women. There is no advantage in sports? Trans kids have always existed. It's healthcare. It's not a cult. There is no castrating young men. They're not men. They're women because trans women are women! Removing breasts and destroying the reproductive organs of young girls is perfectly fine because they're not girls. Solution: As fascists, you don't even need science. You can simply perform your medical experiments at will. If anyone objects, off to the gulag they must go.You see, Democrats, the answer has always been right there. All you have to do is embrace the fascists you really are. You don't even need a leader. It doesn't have to be about race. It can simply be about what you really want: conform or else and all power to the state.Spirited AwayI could never have known what it felt like to be unpersoned by the side I used to call home, to have their attack machines trained on me, on my business, on my personal safety until I walked in the shoes of Trump supporters. I know that I have to be quiet in my town. I can't let them know who I am because I know what that will mean. They won't say hello to me anymore. They will walk the other way when they see me coming. Who knows what else they might do?The most terrifying thing about it isn't so much losing everything. I grew up poor, I struggled to pay the rent for most of my life. That's nothing new. No, it was seeing people I thought I knew participate in the unpersoning of someone they once called a friend. Watching them remove me from their lists and not invite me to screenings or parties because I was no longer worthy of being one of them chilled me to my bones. It's something I'll never forget. I always thought we were the good guys, that we knew the difference between right and wrong, that we wouldn't dehumanize whole groups of people because we didn't agree on everything, and tell them they were no longer welcome in their own country.We have elections so the people decide how they want to be represented. But the Democrats don't believe that at all, do they? They decided our elections didn't matter because the people voting in them didn't matter. Instead of respecting the results, they keep fighting their imaginary war, with their violence escalating to dangerous levels. Power is not something people give up willingly, especially not those who are used to being in control of everything.Your value inside utopia depends on your going along with all of it and doing so with a smile on your face and rationalization in your heart. I'm not really like that, they tell themselves. Except that they are. That is exactly who they are. Do you think Rick Wilson or Jimmy Kimmel or John Cusack or any of those crazy-eyed Democrats on TikTok would hesitate to throw Elon Musk, Trump, and all of their supporters into a detainment center? They would not. You've scared the crap out of America, Democrats. They're not likely to vote for you any time soon. So why not put another line on that lawn sign to read: Fascism, it's not so bad after all. // This is a public episode.

My guest today is a Gen X legend and someone I've been a little bit obsessed with ever since I saw her star in the definitive (late) 80s movie, Say Anything. Ione Skye. There was a time when It seemed like if there was a hot young actor - John Cusack, River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves - she got to snog them on screen. (I know, shallow, much.) Ione has spent her life in the centre of the Venn diagram of film, music and celebrity. The daughter of 60s superstar Donovan, she famously dated Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Anthony Keidis finding herself both babysitter and breadwinner at just 16. She followed that with an ill-fated marriage to Beastie Boy Ad-Rock (Adam Horowitz). But there is so much more to Ione than all those male name drops. She has starred in some of the most significant movies of their generation. She has worked with the likes of Sofia Coppola, Chloe Sevigny, Lena Dunham and Madonna. She's written children's books, directed short films and is an accomplished painter. Not to mention podcaster. (She hosts the podcast Weirder Together with her partner, Ben Lee.) Oh, and I do just have to say that as a child she only lived next door to the iconic writer Eve Babitz! Anyway It all adds up to one fascinating tumultuous story. One she's addressed extremely candidly in her new memoir, Say Everything. See what she did there? Ione joined me from LA to talk about growing up in the 80s and 90s, being a nepo baby before nepo babies were a thing, having it all, losing it all and getting some of it back, what she's learnt from her Gen Z daughters and finally coming into herself in her 50s. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including Say Everything by Ione Skye and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

Hollywood Actor John Cusack goes BERSERK on X over Trump having Tesla's at the White House!

Unfiltered and uncensored, actress Ione Skye's memoir, SAY EVERYTHING (Gallery Books; Hardcover; on-sale March 4, 2025) offers a glimpse into a life lived at the intersection of Hollywood allure and personal exploration. Unlike anything Ione has done before, her memoir blends confessions, desire, and introspection in a way that transcends the typical celebrity narrative. A product of her varied and diverse career, SAY EVERYTHING reveals exactly what's on Skye's mind, intertwining compelling anecdotes from her personal and professional life with profound reflections on love, identity, and the pursuit of self-acceptance. Set against a backdrop of rock royalty compounds, supermodel cliques, and classic late-century films like River's Edge, Gas Food Lodging, and Wayne's World, SAY EVERYTHING is a wild ride of Hollywood thrills as well as a lyrical reflection on ambition, intimacy, and a messy, sexy, unconventional life. Born to the magnetic energy of a 1960s It Girl and the legendary musician Donovan, Skye navigated a landscape shaped by her father's absence and rejection. In her quest for connection, she became entwined with some of the brightest stars of her generation-Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Matthew Perry, John Cusack, and Robert Downey Jr.-as well as the rebellious spirit of '90s "bad girls." From her teenage relationship with Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to her breakout role in Say Anything to her marriage to Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys, Ione Skye was a Gen X icon. SAY EVERYTHING invites readers to experience a raw and poignant evolution, exploring themes of love, loss, and resilience set against the backdrop of the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll of the early 90's.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Elromlik Föld, mert a maja naptár szerint lejárt a garanciája, és leginkább a Nicolas Cage-et alakító John Cusack és családja igyekszik menekülni, miközben a világ szó szerint szétcsúszik alattuk. Ég, föld, tenger – mindenki kap a pofájába, de végül a túlélők elhajóznak a naplementébe, mert Hollywoodban mindig van B-terv.

At the beginning of the 2000s, it seemed that hilarious comedies were everywhere and we remember this one being no exception.

Why do I feel so guilty, Slackers?In a recent podcast, Tom Morello and Billy Corgan discussed a number of topics, but when Billy talked about  "Gen X not having a second act” and Tom said he had “Punk Rock Guilt”, this really struck a chord with me.Growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s—amid economic flux, cultural cynicism, and punk's rebirth via hardcore and grunge — gave us a somewhat strange worldview. In 1989 Family Ties ended while Seinfeld just started to air. We went from wholesome to cynical in the blink of an eye.Morello talked about the uneasy feeling of raging against the system only to end up part of it - is that just an inevitable part of growing up or have we somehow let our younger, more idealistic selves down?As a parent I often wrestle with whether I have done the right things for my kids. And I certainly lament my restless, rudderless youth. This episode is a reflection on my own personal (and Gen X's) struggle to reconcile our hedonistic, yet oddly idealistic, youth with the quiet regrets of middle age.

Welcome to this week's episode of the CREEP-O-RAMA podcast, the only one brave enough to tackle the HOLY TRINITY of Nicolas Cage Insanity—Face/Off, Con Air, and The Rock—and somehow still have enough brain cells left to scream about it for an hour. 

Another slow week in 1985, so instead of celebrating any BIG 4-0's this week, Ron and Peter take a look back at two supernatural police thrillers from the 1990's with strikingly similar storylines: Lou Diamond Phillips in THE FIRST POWER and Denzel Washington leading an all-star cast in FALLEN. As always, please remember to Rate, Like, and Subscribe; and we'll be back in 1985 next week to wish a Happy BIG 4-0 to John Cusack in THE SURE THING and Chuck Norris in MISSING IN ACTION 2!

Kerry and Collin showed up late for their discussion of the 2001 rom-com starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, “Serendipity.” Does the movie take its concepts about fate and destiny to absurd heights? How many movies accurately depict the lives of obituary writers? Should the filmmakers have left in the twin towers when the film came out in the fall of 2001? Also, Kerry and Collin reveal their own Top 5 John Cusack movies. Plus, a 1995 classic, some Kurasawa, Tom & Jerry and Richard Pryor talked about for the Blu-ray Gift Exchange.  Blu-rays covered: Warner Bros: “Se7en” 4K (1995) Focus: "Conclave" (2024) Criterion: “Yojimbo” / “Sanjuro” - The Samurai Films of Akira Kurosawa - 4K “Jo-Jo Dancer: Your Life Is Calling” - 4K Warner Archive: Tom & Jerry - The CinemaScope Collection Sony: “The Lords of Flatbush” (1974) Severin: “Vixen” - 4K (1968) Magnolia: “Omni Loop” (2024)  

In 1989, Cameron Crowe's Say Anything became an iconic 80s romance that captured the awkwardness and sweetness of young love. The story follows Lloyd Dobler, a charming high school grad unsure of his future but knows he wants Diane Court, the smart yet emotionally distant valedictorian. This isn't your typical romance—Lloyd isn't the usual leading man, and Diane isn't the stereotypical love interest. Instead, the film subverts expectations to deliver a heartfelt, unconventional love story that still resonates today. Join Tim Williams and guest co-host Bethany Wells as they dive into this classic on the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast!Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: Lloyd and Diane's school appears to be based on The Lakeside School, a very prestigious private school in Seattle. But in the film, the school is called Lakewood and has a rooster, not a lion, as its mascot. The dojo featured in this movie was also used in "The Karate Kid" (1984). Fox gave the green light for producers to adapt "Say Anything" into a single-camera TV sitcom that would have taken place 10 years after the movie's ending. But the show's creators never bothered to ask original writer/director Cameron Crowe if he was interested. Once Crowe heard about the project, he was dismayed and expressed on Twitter that he had no involvement "except in trying to stop it." John Cusack also cried foul about the project; the backlash from the fans was too much to overcome, so the project was canceled.Sources: Wikipedia, IMDB, Box Office Mojohttps://www.pajiba.com/seriously_random_lists/mindhole-blowers-25-facts-about-say-anything-that-are-neither-bought-sold-nor-processed.phphttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/73152/14-surprising-facts-about-say-anythinghttps://awardswatch.com/say-anything-at-35-how-a-boy-a-boombox-and-a-dream-turned-into-a-timeless-classic-retrospective/https://www.slashfilm.com/1497085/only-major-actors-still-alive-say-anything/Some sections were composed or edited by ChatGPT We'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!
