Movies: Wayne's World

About this episode

The episode discusses the 1992 comedy classic Wayne's World, its cultural impact, and its enduring popularity.

Wayne's World is the 1992 comedy classic that somehow made the leap from Saturday Night Live sketch to genuinely great cinema — and it absolutely holds up. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are Wayne and Garth, two heavy metal-loving slackers running a public access TV show from a basement in Aurora, Illinois. When a slick TV executive tries to buy their show and sell it out, the boys go to war to keep it real. It's quotable, it's anarchic, it's self-aware before that was cool — and it launched a thousand "Party on, Wayne" impressions that have never really stopped. If you somehow missed this one, or haven't seen it since the 90s, it deserves a proper revisit. Watch Wayne's World on Fetch — and give it the treatment it deserves on a big screen Hisense TV.
