Michael Brandon (Four Flies on Grey Velvet) stars as Jeff Dugan, the ultra-cool program director at Q-SKY Radio, LA’s number one rock station. Dugan encourages a free-wheeling culture at work, employing an array of eccentric DJ personalities: Mother (Eileen Brennan, Private Benjamin), a husky, world-weary ex-hippie; Eric Swan (Martin Mull, Clue), a mad-cap romantic looking for love, and The Prince of Darkness (Cleavon Little, Blazing Saddles), a cool cat who keeps the night-time airwaves alive. But when the station’s future is thrown in to jeopardy by corporate bosses looking to cash-in, the Q-SKY troupe are forced to batten down the hatches and turn up the volume - will a fully-fledged rock ‘n’ roll rebellion save the day?

FM was the last movie I watched at a Drive-In Theatre. Never thought I'd live long enough to actually Miss the 20th Century. ;-)

I can truly feel what you are saying. Times were so much simpler, but they were so much better. Just think, 4 or 5 TV channels were just fine. These kids nowadays don't get out and exercise. I'm 62 the same age my much loved pop was when he transitioned. RIP Mom and Pop.

Some reference books claim that the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati was based on FM. The physical resemblance between Michael Brandon and WKRP lead actor Gary Sandy and the fact that their respective characters were both based upon KMET programming director Mikel Hunter[12] may have contributed to this speculation. However, WKRP series creator Hugh Wilson asserts that the sitcom was already in development when the film came out. He also states that he was "scared to death" when the film came out, afraid that it would eclipse the CBS sitcom, which made its debut in September 1978. Wilson was relieved when FM came and went from theaters quickly. Despite the poor performance of the film at the box office, the soundtrack sold over 1 million records. THE FILM WAS ALL OVER CABLE TV IN THE 1980s "a good idea for a movie ruined by a silly silly script..." AVALIABLE IN THE 1990S ON VHS BOTH REGULAR AND WIDESCREEN (get from the Warehouse cheap before it goes under) AVALIABLE ON DVD IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK

I notice the dvd/ blu ray is available from some retailers online. Wondering if the original music is intact? Usually when old films with rock / pop soundtracks go to a new format, a lot of the songs get replaced due to licensing issues.

@@litzDP Arrow did right by the movie, all the music is intact

[@kevinodell1502]

January. Always a death knell for a flick's release. Still, that said, this is a love bomb.

[@Hydrophish]

Was gonna ask how this was related to WKRP if at all

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

@@yournamehere6002 That means that henley got a boat load of cash.

Loved this movie, now I see why WKRP In Cincinnati was born

High School. High School. Saw this at the Drive-in...It was a double bill with Citizen Band....😆

[@flyswatter45]

Steely Dan to finish off the trailer!!

[@GrizzledOldBear]

The trailer starts out with a song that isn't even on the soundtrack: Fleetwood Macs' "Don't Stop"

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

GrizzledOldBear The song used in that scene is by the Eagles . It's Life In The Fast Lane.

[@glitter-lk5dz]

Some songs don't appear on the soundtrack album of a film or a tv series. It's often not the complete list because there are too many tunes.

[@MIGUELDELLVALLE06-jv1sw]

The narrator from Thomas and friends star in that movie.

[@juliannarciso3876]

This should’ve been good wonder why it was a flop back when it came out

[@yournamehere6002]

It was good

[@juliannarciso3876]

It only made 2 million at the box office

[@kevinodell1502]

No Static At All. This, WKRP, and The Rockford Files at the same time and studio? Universally cool.

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

kevinnodell1502 You might want to check you facts on this. The Rockford Files was filmed at Universal Studios. And WKRP was filmed at Metro Media Square. Which was the exact same building the the Greatest Rock & Roll Radio station broadcasted out of The Mighty Met 94.7 KMET. WWWWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOYYYYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@losintocablesdelbarrio]

Esta pelicula fue el detonante para empezar hacer los 40 PRINCIPALES...Pero cuando empezaron . . . no en la fuckin m que se han convertido hace años

[@habovay3]

A surprisingly bland-looking film for a director who's also a longtime acclaimed cinematographer. Some engaging performances but mostly a muddled Altman-wannabee. The music definitely is the star.

[@user-rt9zq8rs9k]

I think the movie tanked because the ruling class wanted it to disappear . The storyline showed a peaceful protest which the ruling class doesn't want to see . The ruling class don't want anything promoting any protest . I actually like the movie .

[@andrewcharles459]

Yeah, well the "ruling class" doesn't decide who goes to see what at the movies. The plain fact is that all the big movie reviewers from the newspapers and magazines gave it a resounding thumbs down for its simplistic plot and shoddy production. I only watched it for the first time myself quite recently. I enjoyed it well enough from a reminiscence point of view, but If I'd have paid money to see it when it came out I'd have been asking for my dollar back.

[@user-rt9zq8rs9k]

@@andrewcharles459 Yeah ? Well I saw it and I thought it was OK . Its too bad some uptight dip💩 like you gotta trash it .
