Two songs by the band, "Pleasure Dog," and "West Beirut," are featured in the movie "Adventureland," directed by Greg Mottola ("Superbad"). The film takes place in the mid 1980s, so this makes some sense. You can check out these songs and a few others above. Adventureland had its general theatrical release on April 3, 2009. Go check it out! It's great.
