it's a great day for free speech
2 June 2006
Christian Slater, in the days before his roles got repetitive, got this cool role as a high school student running a renegade radio station. Obviously, the movie deals with many things - namely free speech - but it's mainly great to see someone pushing the limits, especially in an era of media concentration.

Anyway, "Pump Up the Volume" is a movie that you're sure to like. The only other recognizable cast member was Samantha Mathis, with whom Slater co-starred a few years later in "Broken Arrow". But no matter. THIS is what free speech is all about.

I would have to agree that everything in America is completely f---ed up.
