Believe it or not, ‘Say Anything’ hit theaters 35 years ago today! 🍿

This classic 80s flick was written and directed by Cameron Crowe, his feature film directorial debut! The classic romantic comedy tracks the romance between Lloyd Dobler (played by John Cusack), a typical student, and Diane Court (portrayed by Ione Skye), the valedictorian of their class, right after they graduate from high school.

🔥Fun Fact: The Smithereens initially penned “A Girl Like You” for a movie, but its inclusion was nixed by the producers who felt it divulged too many plot details. Instead, they opted for “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel. However, “A Girl Like You” found its way onto the band’s album “11” later that year, ultimately becoming a chart-topping hit in the US.

MAX HEADROOM: 37 years ago today, the first episode of MAX HEADROOM aired on ABC-TV.

This often overlooked cult classic aired from 1987 to 1988. It was based on an earlier British TV movie called “Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future.” The series is set in a dystopian future where television networks and corporations control society.

The cast of “Max Headroom” is led by Matt Frewer, who brilliantly portrays both Edison Carter, the determined journalist, and the quirky computer-generated AI, Max Headroom. Amanda Pays shines as Theora Jones, Carter’s loyal colleague and controller, while Chris Young adds depth as Bryce Lynch, the skilled hacker aiding their endeavors. Jeffrey Tambor impresses as Murray, the conflicted executive producer at Network 23, and George Coe rounds out the main ensemble as Ben Cheviot, the network’s principled chief executive. Together, they navigate a dystopian future dominated by media conglomerates, bringing to life a world where technology and corporate intrigue collide in captivating and thought-provoking ways.

Max Headroom left a significant mark on pop culture since his introduction back in the 1980s. Initially created as a computer-generated character for a music video program, Max became a cultural icon known for his quirky personality, stuttering speech, and distinctive visual style, not to mention an affinity for Coca-Cola products.
