  Reliving High School Underdogs, and Finding Your Place with Angus Star CHARLIE TALBERT (Angus, Lisa Frankenstein, Shelby Oaks, The Big Short, Where the Crawdads Sing, Ella McCay)! Grab your flannel, turn up your walkman, and fire up the time machine! This week on The DizRadio Show, we are stepping right back into the glorious decade of the 1990s to revisit a story that practically every single one of us can relate to, navigating the absolute obstacle course of high school and trying to find where you truly belong. Back then a little movie came along that gave a massive voice to the underdogs, the outsiders, and anyone who ever felt like they didn't fit into a pre-packaged box. That movie was Angus. And to help us break down why this film still hits so close to home, we are joined by the man who brought that unforgettable title character to life, the brilliant, talented, and gracious CHARLIE TALBERT! Hailing right from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Charlie has one of the absolute best Hollywood discovery stories of all time, he was famously spotted standing in line at a local Wendy’s before being thrust into the spotlight for his very first acting role ever. Charlie opens up about what it was really like going from a regular Wisconsin kid in a fast-food line to leading a major feature film. Why the character and the film’s message continue to resonate so deeply with audiences decades later. And working alongside a film that features one of the defining alternative rock soundtracks of the era. He also is diving into his roles in fan favorites like the horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein and working with director Zelda Williams, Where the Crawdads Sing, The Big Short, and upcoming projects like Shelby Oaks and Ella McCay. Also how he has actively shifted his career path to embrace complex, adult roles beyond the goofy guy archetype of his early days. Then of course, it wouldn't be The DizRadio Show without your host Jonathan rambling on about the stuff we all love! This week, Jonathan is diving deep into the heart of underdog cinema. He breaks down why Angus strikes such a personal chord, how the movie differs in key ways from the original short story by Chris Crutcher, and why that legendary soundtrack, packed with Green Day, Weezer, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Love Spit Love, helped define the entire alt-rock era of the era. Ready to head back to High School? So enjoy the Nostalgia, the Magic, the Wonder, and the Memories with The DizRadio Show "A Pop Culture Celebrity Guest Show"!
