Hit Factory

Pop culture critic Roxana Hadadi joins the Hit Factory crew to discuss the unsung masterpiece of the teen movie genre, 'Pump Up the Volume'. We talk hard about Christian Slater's indelible charm, the triumphs and follies of 90's "fight-the-system" narratives, and posit Hard Harry as the prototype for the leftist podcaster. Read Roxana's piece for Crooked Marquee: "Pump Up The Volume at 30: A Middle Finger to America's Suburban Monotony".
