i had never heard of Tapeheads until last weekend when i saw it on the shelf with “JOHN CUSACK / TIM ROBBINS” and the title of the movie bursting off the dvd case’s spine in a pretty alarming typeface. i’m so glad i rented it, it was really something else. i can’t believe that after years of getting stuck in horrible conversations with film students namedropping “cult classics” and “powerful pieces of cinema” at parties that i’ve never heard any mention of this movie.

it’s the story of two friends who get fired from their job as security guards and then start their own music video production company - Video Aces. cameos include but are not limited to: doug e fresh, sam moore, ted nugent, jello biafra, courtney love, junior walker, stiv bators, weird al yankovic and zed from the police academy movies.

if you haven’t seen it, you should check it out. heaps of screenshots after the jump
