Airheads (1994)

Airheads: Directed by Michael Lehmann. With Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley. Three band members hoping for a big break head to a radio station to play their demo tape and wind up holding everyone hostage with plastic guns when the head D.J. refuses to play them.

“A hilarious tale about three bumbling guys desperately trying to get their demo tape heard so that they can be rocketed into rock stardom. So it comes down to it, that they can hold Rebel radio hostage and take it over just to have their tape played. One thing after the next happens to prevent them from obtaining their goals. Whether having Michael Richards assault them with a gun, making ridiculous requests like nude photos of Bea Arthur or finding out that Rebel Radio is going to be a easy listening station in a matter of days.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is chock full of laughter and cameos, and I think on a sensual side (on myself being a metal head) this film showcases where many u0026quot;hard rock/heavy metalu0026quot; radio stations were biting the dust to make way for other music. This film hits close to home, has a kick ass soundtrack (with the Lone Rangers themselves) and has many SNL members to make the film really enjoyable, a comedy classic of the 90u0026#39;s.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWorthless trivia: This is one of the film films that you can find two of the original Ghostbusters together, as Harold (Egon) Ramis plays a phony as record exec, and Ernie (Winston) Hudson plays a cop that has to deal with the metal heads insane requests and Chris Farley being a fool.”
