[...] that they decided to not include the films Over the Edge and Alex Cox’s Straight to Hell. Carlson addresses this at the book’s website, so I won’t go into it. But I will post these trailers for the films and leave with the [...]

We didn’t include Max Headroom because it was a TV show. Even though “20 Minutes into the Future” was a two-hour pilot, it was still a TV show. Nothing against TV…we own one!

Luckily, we don’t get a lot of messages about movies we missed or else we’d feel like failures who wasted 7 years of our lives. Oftentimes, the movie in question is under an alternate title or did not make the cutoff (1999). Which is the case with SPIT. It came out in 2001, so it just missed making it into the book.

p.s. EXCELLENT name!

Great book, I bet you get these type of comments a lot, but you forgot the movie spit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqEDH0R9Pxw considering its actually about punks and not just some guys in the background for tree second its strange i think

I get it. Good calls all around.
However; Blank Reg from Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future was punk – regardless of what the Grant Craig or maxheadroom.com say.

A video rental classic, in mine or one of my friend’s VCRs at least once a month along with Decline I – and Repo Man was still in the theaters. Gotta love growing up in the 80s.

Thank you for coming to the show and most importantly for having fun! While we picked out the clips, they were masterfully assembled by the maniacs at Everything Is Terrible. They have the entire thing on their site and you can find it here: http://vimeo.com/16902543. It's broken into 4 parts, so check the side bar for links to the rest. As far as purchasing the book, it really is all the same to us as far as what we get paid. However, we always hope that people will support their local independent bookstores when possible. We understand that can be hard when it's going for $12 less on Amazon. It's up to you!

A friend and I drove from Tacoma to see The Stains and Times Square….you guys did an awesome job with the clip show before the film. I’m an 80′s movie buff…..and you had me stumped with some of your punk references in movies…..have you uploaded it anywhere to watch online? I’m going to purchase your book soon….where is the best place too? What benefits you guys the most? Thanks for an awesome fun night!

We rechecked the movie to make sure and we’re not seeing any punks. Most of the high school kids have a late ’80s art school/beatnik thing going on–the costume designer definitely cleaned out the beret department at Big Lots. The boyfriend’s name is Bug, which while promising, doesn’t deliver the true punkness. And we know that actor can bring it (see the ABC afterschool special “The Day My Kid Went Punk”).

If you want to send us a time code or a specific scene to check, feel free. Otherwise, we’re gonna have to stick with Uncle Buck=No Punks.
