Tapeheads Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Bill Fishman
Genres: Comedy
Rating:

In this high-energy satire of the music biz, Ivan Alexov (John_Cusack) and Josh Tager (Tim_Robbins) lose their jobs as security guards, and they decide to start their own video production company. Their first gigs are less than inspiring, including a rappin' commercial for a chicken-and-waffle place, a living will, and a right-wing Presidential-hopeful's (Clu_Gulager) gala dinner. Eventually, they get to direct a heavy-metal music video which becomes a huge surprise success. But now the politician needs to get back a private videotape from the boys, and the Secret Service is put on their trail. This chaotic romp has cameos from more music celebs than you can shake a tape reel at, as well as a hopping little soundtrack by Fishbone. This is also the film that introduced a conservative folksinger/politician character who later got his own movie, Bob_Roberts. John Voorhees, Rovi
