Rewatched on Rex Manning Day, because what else would a person do? Allan Moyle’s grubby little time capsule shouldn’t work as well as it does — a dozen half-finished subplots, a record shop under corporate threat, and a soundtrack quietly propping the whole thing up.
Still, Empire Records has the shaggy charm of a mixtape made by someone who really wants you to like them. And mostly, you do. Damn the Man; save the Empire.
