Space Waves

A fading bromance derails a budding romance in "Space Waves," a gentle comedy-drama about two best friends' quest to become the #1 rated podcast on iTunes. An iconic microwave tower, a cherry red Mustang, and a brainless skateboarding video provide the eye candy for this surprisingly good film.

Shot entirely on location in rural Northern California, the story plays out so naturally that I only noticed in retrospect that there was no sex, violence or swearing in the film. Didn't miss it.

Writer-director Spencer Whiteout's semi-autobiographical script is a genuinely funny, dramatic, romantic, G-rated, coming-of-age story of teenage best friends Joey (Rudy Pankow) and Marvin (Andrew Gabriel), Marvin's neglected girlfriend Sawyer (Andie Mueller), and the hilarious, scene-stealing Duke Skylander (Tyson Pestner) who is making a brainless, skateboarding movie.

I love the small town vibraish of this flick. You've got Planet Earth level drone shots of towers and beautiful rivers and canyons and countrysides smashed together with nice and easy slow living shots of the local burger joints and thrift stores. It's what Northern California is alllll about and we finally get a little recognish with this masterpiece.

High degree of one liners will have you laughing for dayyyyyyyyyyyyys you might get a tattoo with some of these lines by the time you soak up the savory beefy Alfredo meal that space waves injects in your cranial cavity.

WAtch.

I enjoyed this movie today. Great character arc and entertaining. I think the casting was perfect too. The scenes of the Space Waves tower were amazing. Young and old audiences will find something to relate to. I'm glad I purchased so I can watch again and again.

There's so many movies about romantic breakups but hardly any about best friend breakups.

Space Waves is about letting go of how things were, embracing how things are, and knowing that although times change, friendship and adventure can be found in every season of life.

This movie has great small town and summer vibes. It's clear to see that the cast and crew had fun with it! The music/soundtrack is probably my favorite part. Something about the Space Waves theme and the synth pop sounds are so calming and awesome. I watched this movie for Rudy Pankow, but it's nice to see upcoming talent and support student films. The acting is decent but the script and plot are weak. I don't think the synopsis does a good job at telling what the movie is. The film does not focus on the podcast for most of it but that's alright. I was confused on where they were going with it but I liked it.
