Where to Watch Airheads
- tellumAugust 17, 2025I have to specifically call out the TV Guide review that says the movie doesn’t know what it’s making fun of. The movie is parodying rock culture, the entire time, for over an hour. The only way you could miss this is if you just didn’t watch the movie, so that might be the dumbest review possible. Maybe they were trying to say the jokes went over their head, but as a lifelong heavy metal fan a lot of the jokes are deep cuts and still land to this day, but I don’t even think that knowledge is needed to enjoy the absurdity. Extremely underrated comedy.
