“The amps are on but nobody's home.”
Airheads (1994) is a surreal comedy about a band of misfits, the Lone Rangers, who dream of rock stardom but struggle to get their foot in the door. Armed with a single demo tape, they concoct an audacious plan to hijack an FM radio station and force the DJs to broadcast their music. The ensuing chaos plays out as a blend of absurdist humor and slapstick, with the band navigating the station's corridors while evading the authorities. The film's quirky charm lies in its irreverent take on the music industry and the lengths to which the characters will go to achieve their goals.
