Marisa and Aric take on the world of punk films. They trace the qualities of authenticity in punk films while diving deep into the evolving perspectives and philosophies of the punk scene.

All of this is discussed while spotlighting six punk AF films: SUBURBIA (1984), Penelope Spheeris' compassionate study of punk teenagers, OVER THE EDGE (1979), Jonathan Kaplan's acclaimed story of teenage rebellion, THE WARRIORS (1979), Walter Hill's dystopian journey of one New York gang's cross-city trek home with other gangs out to get them, TIMES SQUARE (1980), a tale of two runaway teenage girls who find empowerment on the gritty streets of NYC, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS (1982), the film that captures (and predates) the riot grrl scene of the 1990s, and SLC PUNK! (1998), a semi-biographical and hilarious look at the punk scene of Salt Lake City, Utah.
