## Resource

Episode 89: Pump Up The Volume This week on Philosophy in Film, the gang cranks up the dial with the 1990 cult classic Pump Up The Volume. Starring Christian Slater as the enigmatic pirate radio DJ Hard Harry, this film delves into themes of rebellion, teenage angst, and the power of uncensored self-expression. From the airwaves of suburban Arizona to the philosophical crossroads of free speech and societal change, Pump Up The Volume asks what it truly means to find your voice in a world that doesn't want to listen. Craig kicks off the broadcast with Producer's Notes (7:38), Alain hits the mic with the Beauclair Synopsis (14:47), and Chris amplifies the conversation with Philosopher's Corner (35:27). The gang dives into the Round Table Discussion (49:08), exploring the film's raw energy, its critique of authority, and its enduring relevance in the digital age. Finally, let's turn that dial to Reviews (1:26:14) before we sign off with the Mailbag (1:41:13). As always, we tune into the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie that had us all shouting, "Talk hard!" Featured Beer: Mixtape Hazy IPA by Polyrhythm Brewing (Edmonton, Alberta)
