Samantha Mathis liked <a href="https://x.com/brett/status/1742540441562583341?s=46" title="my tweet">my tweet</a>, so I had to rewatch it. I know <a href="http://letterboxd.com/ggnz" title="Gemma">Gemma</a> will be proud.
<i>Pump Up the Volume</i> is an early 90s classic that has aged well (minus the cassette players and bad hairdos). It stars <b>Christian Slater</b> and one of my first crushes, <b>Samantha Mathis</b>. The soundtrack is perfect (<a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/04wZz025cZ8UZCuXMZGvv8?si=2D8rVC9eSIWzGD4j7M4LTA&pi=u-tIFDKsKsTG2y" title="Spotify">Spotify</a>), setting a tone for the film in various scenes.
I hope Hollywood stays far away from remaking this film. If they made an attempt, the pirate radio DJ would be replaced with a shy, quiet person who, at night, crowdsources content via social media for their anonymous podcast that unveils a school system’s sinister actions. 🤮
