Episode 224 - Pump Up The Volume

Pump Up the Volume is a view of the 90s encased in amber, when the kids were all angry and had no idea what to do about it. It comes from a long line of movies about kids who don’t get what their place in life is, but… you know, In the 90s. With a brilliant soundtrack, a prescience of what social media would become, Christian Slater as Christian Slater, and of course, Samantha Mathis’ boobs, Pump Up the Volume is a view of disaffected youth in America. Again. But… you know, In the 90s! We give our take on this semi-forgotten film, plus everything we’ve been watching and listening to this week in our Peabody Award winning segment, “The Fresh Shit.” Talk hard. | 0:00 - Intros | 3:10 - The Righteous Gem Stones (HBO) | 10:30 - Plebs | 11:58 - Better Call Saul | 17:30 - Severance (Apple TV) | 19:50 - Bottle Rocket | 23:30 - Nightmare Alley | 27:05 - Pump Up The Volume (1990)
