The
Scout (1994)
Director Michael Ritchie, famous
for his contribution to the sports comedy genre with THE BAD NEWS
BEARS, turns his attention to the world of professional baseball

(Brendan Fraser), a dream-come-true baseball pitcher. Percolo

fastball and ambidextrous skills, his childlike temper and
suspicious past keep him from reaching his true potential. They
also prevent him from passing the psychological evaluation, to the
dismay of Percolo. Striking a deal with a grudging doctor,

and inability to perform under pressure threaten to ruin his
chances at a professional career.

Airheads
(1994)
Chazz (Brendan Fraser), Pip (Adam
Sandler), and Rex (Steve Buscemi) are the Lone Rangers, a heavy
metal rock group that's going nowhere fast. Tired of playing lame
gigs and trying to win over record executives, the band heads to
its local radio station in a desperate attempt to have its demo
played. Unfortunately, things go awry when toy guns are pulled out
and mistaken for real ones in the heat of the moment, forcing the
band to hold the station’s employees hostage. Surrounded by the
police and thousands of rock & roll fans who have flocked to
the station, the boys become unlikely heroes, a voice for those
who choose not to conform to corporate America. A little lighter
than Michael Lehmann’s dark comedy directorial debut HEATHERS,
this film offers plenty of physical comedy from Michael Richards
and Chris Farley as well as humorous performances from the boys in
the band, Michael McKean as the station manager, and Joe Mantegna
as DJ Ian the Shark. Live performances by White Zombie and the
Galactic Cowboys set the tone for the film, which also boasts an
impressive soundtrack.
