Pump Up the Volume with Conan Neutron - Main Event

Sean and Josh talk all things Pump Up the Volume with Conan Neutron, of the weekly podcasts Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal and Movie Night Extravaganza and of the rock band Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, whose brand new album The Way of the Neutron dropped this week and can be streamed or purchased on Bandcamp. Conan hadn't seen Pump Up the Volume in at least 30 years, so how would his fond memories of the film hold up? Would the fap-heavy humor grate on his nerves? Did Christian Slater's performance veer too heavily into Jack Nicholson impersonation territory or would he give a surprisingly nuanced performance? Was Allan Moyle's film as transgressive as feared or more progressive than one might have thought? The answer to these and so many more questions lie within this episode of the Unkind Rewind.

Pump Up the Volume is hard to find outside of physical media, presumably because of its soundtrack, but *pssst* it can be found on the Internet Archive.
