Episode Details

Get ready to rewind to the wild, glittering chaos of late-eighties LA as “Tapeheads” returns for a rare 35mm screening — a cult classic comedy starring John Cusack and Tim Robbins as hustling music video dreamers caught in a blackmail scheme with a politician and a sex tape. Directed by Bill Fishman, who made videos himself and saw the film as a sharp satire of the exploding MTV era, it’s packed with cameos from music legends like Sam Moore and Junior Walker, plus a legendary Roscoe’s Chicken ‘N Waffles spot. The duo even auditioned for each other’s roles on the spot — and killed it. Though it flopped at the box office, it found a devoted VHS audience. Now, with Fishman and crew in attendance, this screening is your chance to witness a pop-culture time capsule that captures the raw energy of a city on the brink — and maybe rediscover why this quirky gem deserves its moment in the sun.
