Review of FM

FM (1978)
7/10
No Static at All
27 December 2005
This movie, and its soundtrack is the history of late 70's classic rock 101. Taylor, Walsh, Steely Dan, Rondstat. They are all there. And behind the music portrayed a Los Angles radio station with a band of misfits, and its eccentric station manager who wanted to run the station with a college style and no commercials. Martin Mull in his movie debut takes the cheese with his portrayal of Eric Swan, an egotistical babe magnet with the heart of 10 year old child. The movie even shows some excellent concert footage from Linda Rondstat, and Jimmy Buffett.

This movie has been playing a lot on the Sundance Channel because this really was an indie movie. The movie did look a little low budget. It took a while for the VHS to come out, and now it is on DVD. This is truly one of my favorite movies of all time.
