Great movie–especially the Circle Jerks live “acoustic” performance of “When the S**t Hits the Fan.”

Let me recommend Daniel Traber’s book which has a chapter on this movie.

Vredenburgh Tue, 17 Jul 2012 01:47:53 +0000 http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/postmodernconservative/?p=7791#comment-20659 One of the very first movies I rented when my family got its first VHS player. It was 1985 and I was 18 and I was ready to appreciate its funny takes on punks. I had a cassette of the soundtrack that I played until it wore out. Iggy, the Plugz and Circle Jerks were all amazing.
