When Jack and Diane find themselves in an unexpected adult situation, the A-Squad comes to their rescue. In order to help their friend Diane, the A-Squad goes where no cheerleader has gone before: taking on a little after-school project known as bank robbery. But the A-Squad does things their way -- with sugar and spice -- forever changing their friendship, their future and the nation's notion of teen spirit.

A look at what goes on backstage during the last broadcast of America's most celebrated radio show, where singing cowboys Dusty and Lefty, a country music siren, and a host of others hold court.

A decade after they graduated from high school and went their separate ways, Casper, a soldier haunted by the horrors of war, and Rebecca, a whip-smart graduate student with a shaky future, reunite by chance and get to know each other over the course of an accidental tour of the little-known underbelly of Minneapolis. The evening's odyssey includes a bar fight, a house party, a punk-rock circus, a spontaneous burglary, a home Casper did not know he had, and a cast of strange characters, unexpected allies and disappointing friends.

Afraid of her imminent success, Bettina, the leader of a threadbare garage band, nearly destroys herself when she returns to Minneapolis to the husband and child she left behind.

The Last Word is an independent feature film directed by Tim McCusker, with a screenplay by Sam Magavern. It stars two icons of the Minneapolis music scene, deejay Mary Lucia and musician Matt Wilson. Lucia plays Izzy Wright, an attorney taking on the defense of her old law professor, who has been accused of downloading child pornography. Meanwhile, she is rekindling an old romance with Wilson’s character – Luke, a musician in a band called the Flops. Another Twin Cities music legend, John Munson, plays the part of Luke’s roommate and bandmate, and the soundtrack features multiple performances by Wilson and Munson.
