Telling Lies In America, radio themed movie from 1997.
« on: January 18, 2026, 1907 UTC »
And now for something completely different, another movie with a radio station theme to it, and payola. In 1999, when I worked in TV, I ran the movie 'Telling Lies In America' from 1997. It bombed in the box office, but went straight to VID and television weekend movie runs. I dug running that at the time. Well, JG Tiger raved about watching American Graffiti on DVD. And, after watching that, it reminded me of Telling Lies In America, which has even a more 'radio station' theme, wrapped-around like 1962 Cleveland. Whelp, you can stream & watch it on TUBI.   https://tubitv.com/movies/282597/telling-lies-in-america   So, enjoy!!!!!!
UPDATE: So, maybe I should open this up to ask, what movie do you recommend that has a radio-theme to it, whether it be two-way, broadcasting, whatever? And, what streaming service can it be seen on? Thank you.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
