In this episode, we dive into the 2000 cult classic Groove, a pulsating homage to the San Francisco underground rave scene of the late ’90s. The film captures one wild, life-changing night through the eyes of DJs, partygoers, and curious newcomers, all set against a backdrop of hypnotic beats and luminous glowsticks. We explore the film’s authentic portrayal of rave culture, its iconic soundtrack, and how it immortalized an era of unbridled freedom and connection.

Along the way, Arnold shares colorful stories from his own raver days—yes, the time when he claimed to have “done all the drugs under the sun” and discovered his love for techno in the depths of abandoned warehouses. Plus, we’re joined by recurring guest host Donnie Appleseed, who offers his unique insights into the film, rave culture, and the enduring appeal of all-night dance parties.

So, grab your glowsticks, crank up the BPM, and join us as we relive the vibes of Groove!
