I LOVED your guys' discussion about Punk Rock. As long as you remain YOU, you ARE Punk Rock! 43:21 I know what you were thinking Randall... James Merendino, the writer/director of SLC Punk was really a part of the SLC punk scene in the mid 80's. He wrote the movie based on his experiences with some obvious exaggerations. I LOVE this movie. The soundtrack for me, was an eye opener to me as well. I was 16 when this came out. It turned me on to Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Fear and Generation X. Because of that movie, DK is still one of my favorite punk bands of all time.

This movie accurately depicted the "urban legend" of what punks are/were, and that's even more important than the reality of the situation. Everybody *thinks* there's a guy from their town who got caught in the rain with a pocketful of acid and it soaked in and he never came back from the trip. Everybody knew a guy who looked like a straight-laced nerd, but rumour had it he'd been spotted at obscure punk shows. Everybody wondered what was up with that skinhead kid in gym class who refused to take off his suspenders (braces). SLC Punk illuminated the rumours that echoed around the halls of suburban high schools everywhere, and demonstrated the kind of outlaw fantasy that spurs kids to play dress-up and call themselves "punk" to this day.

It’s a bit of both. Decent portrayal in some instances and Hollywood in others. Cool soundtrack, and a fun movie over all.

We actually did Sid And Nancy on his channel recently, I'll get it uploaded early next week! I'll use my picks to focus on Punk and Horror movies and drop it on the channel as often as I can

I believe Brandy's statement defends that punk revolves around an ideology, Anarchism was the main focus on Punk beliefs. Also adding that there's bands like Bad Religion, whom they have the logo in the van on the dashboard after they see Bobs dad, who don't "wear the costume" 41:16

Another pretty good punk movie is gutterbug. Deals more on the homeless crusty kid aspects of it, down to the rich parents. I like it, pretty flushed out characters like slc punk. Real "I have totally met that dude" vibes throughout.

Its definitely very cartoony punk. But I find its still enjoyable and entertaining. I feel its a bit of an exaggerated take on how some "punks" are, but I don't think it was meant to be taken very seriously anyway. But it gets real at moments like Bob's death, and how they got into punk rock, by listening to Generation X. Those were the realest moments for me.

@@thepunkrockreview you’re not giving it enough credit. Since movies hitherto have commenced with a cast list and a vast directory of credits, we are promptly jolted out of our seats when “Punks Dead: SLC Punk 2” ignores this convention and slides at once into its story. For introduction, there is only a stylized and atmospheric hint of background, of shut high gates and formidable fencing, and this formal difference seems revolutionary enough to establish Mr. Colson “MGK” Baker’s independence of the conventions. 🧐
