Anarchy TV is a 1998 comedy movie starring Jonathan Penner as Johnny Crack, Jessica Hecht as Evie and Matt Winston as Larry. The movie is centered around a cable access show with the same name, Anarchy TV, that is hosted by Johnny Crack and his girlfriend, Evie. The movie starts with Johnny and Evie stealing the broadcast equipment of a local cable company to start their own pirate station, Anarchy TV. The show is a mix of satire, pranks, and political commentary, and becomes an instant hit among the local youth.
Things take a turn when the cable company hires a team of goons to stop Anarchy TV from broadcasting. However, instead of giving up, Johnny and his team decide to take the show on the road, broadcasting from the back of a truck as they travel across the country.
As they travel, Anarchy TV becomes more popular than ever, and soon they catch the attention of a national network that offers them a deal to bring the show to a larger audience.
However, Johnny is reluctant to take the deal, as he fears that the network will water down the show's message and sell out to advertisers. Meanwhile, Evie has become disillusioned with Johnny's obsession with the show and starts to rethink their relationship.
The movie explores themes of rebellion, freedom of speech, and the corrupting influence of fame and success. It's a funny, irreverent, and thought-provoking film that offers a unique take on the American counterculture.
The film also features a host of talented supporting actors, including Dweezil Zappa as a religious cult leader, Alan Thicke as a network executive, and Christopher Lee as the head of the cable company's security team.
Overall, Anarchy TV is a must-watch for fans of offbeat humor, political satire, and countercultural movements. With its thought-provoking message and talented cast, it remains as relevant today as it was when it was released over two decades ago.
Anarchy TV is a 1998 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
