I loved this movie. They used to have a free weekend of HBO, Cinemax, maybe Showtime too back when I was a kid to entice people to get extended cable, so I'd go over to my friend's house (whose parents had cable TV) and binge on Mr. Show, and sadly Arli$$. And this movie was on. Not sure if it clicked as an allegory for me at the time, but it was fun to watch Nic Cage freak out. Totally renting this tonight.
