Episode 89 - Tapeheads: Parabellum

Episode 89 - Tapeheads: Parabellum Yo Friends, check this out! The 1988 cult comedy Tapeheads was way ahead of its time. A weird, anarchic, and purposely silly poke in the eye to the second wave of MTV culture that put image above all else, this film can arguably be seen as the opening salvo in what would become the slacker Gen-X ethos of the early 90’s. Featuring early lead roles for John Cusack & Tim Robbins, plus stellar cameos from Don Cornelius (Sout Train), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), The Lords of the New Church, Fishbone, and 60s soul legends Sam & Dave as The Swanky Modes! - this one remains a perennial favorite of the MagHuge squad. Oh, and and we also discuss how John Wick 3: Parabellum is now the best video game movie of all time. It is an audio feast surpassed only by Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:03 - How Did This Get Played?
