About This Movie

Tasty (1985) is this quirky comedy that dances around the chaos of a struggling radio station. The plot focuses on Gary, the station manager, who’s ready to drop the axe on his DJs if ratings don’t pick up. Enter Tasty Tastums, the sexy DJ who, along with her crew, cooks up some hilarious schemes to save their jobs. The film has this low-budget charm, with a mix of slapstick and some cheeky one-liners. You can really feel the 80s vibe, from the synth-heavy soundtrack to the outrageous outfits. Performances vary, but there's a certain rawness to it that adds to its appeal. It’s a light romp, but it also touches on themes of teamwork and the struggle in entertainment. Definitely a unique piece of 80s cinema that stands out for its playful approach to radio culture.

Tasty has had a bit of a limited release history, making physical copies somewhat of a niche find. It's not widely circulated, which contributes to its collector interest, especially among fans of oddball 80s comedies. The film's low-budget aesthetic and raw performances give it a distinctive charm that resonates with genre collectors. Keep an eye out for VHS tapes and any rare DVD releases; they pop up occasionally but seem to be pretty sought after.
