Behind the Radicals (Johnsonverse)

Behind the Radicals is a 2012 American psuedo-documentary directed by Timothy Hill that aired on WBC. In a parody of VH1's Behind the Music, it focuses on the fictional behind-the-scenes of the Radicals, a rock band used as the mascots of WBC (then known as JTV) from 1982 to 1991. It stars Jason Carmichael, Ashley Wallace, Casey Locklain, Brooke Pierce, and Lane Pierce, and is narrated by Jim Forbes.

Plot
In 1982, 18-year-old Dennis "Den" Isadore is a struggling singer. He gets booed at every club he performs at. One day, Den comes across his high school sweetheart Becky Jo Robbins. Together, they decide to form the duo act Robbins and Isadore. However, on their first performance (at a seedy motel on the Las Vegas Strip, and even then, they have to perform out on the parking lot across the street due to a lack of space), Becky Jo accidentally flubs and says an ethnic slur instead of the correct lyric. This results in them getting booed off the stage and the end of their act.

After their firing, the Radicals try and fail several times to reinvent themselves with jazz, heavy metal, and punk rock, among others, eventually breaking up after a botched performance at Rockingham Speedway (then North Carolina Speedway) in 1996 with the band messing up an R&B song due to stage fright that gets a molotov cocktail thrown in them by a violent heckler, killing Jeff in the process. The surviving members are remembered solely for their involvement with the Stacker Era, move to Italy and live the rest of their lives in a life of crime; they eventually follow through on a suicide pact on October 3, 2011, the fifteenth anniversary of their botched performance, and are found dead of gunshot wounds to the head in Den's home the next day. At their funeral, only a handful of people are present.
