This week, Shat The Movies cranks the amps, loads the water guns and storms the radio station for 1994's Airheads. Commissioned by listener John W., this forgotten rock comedy captures a moment when being a long-haired metalhead still meant something—and when you had to physically take hostages just to get your demo played.
Gene and Big D relive the glory days of Blockbuster soundtracks and flannel rebellion while asking: was Airheads secretly a Gen X prophecy about streaming, soulless algorithms and the death of radio or just a juvenile comedy where Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler somehow make the dumbest idea ever seem kind of badass?
Along the way, the hosts debate Brendan Fraser's heartthrob era, Steve Buscemi's brief flirtation with "normal guy energy" and why physical media might be the only thing keeping our culture alive. They also accidentally invent the world's first militant anti-Spotify movement.
Is Airheads an under-appreciated anthem for the lost rock generation—or proof that metalheads should never be trusted with firearms, fake or not? Crank it up and find out.
