Someone's Favorite Movie


Nov 7, 2022

Never mind the Bollocks, it’s Someone’s Favorite Movie with another cringe punny way to introduce the show notes for episode 66 of this esteemed program.

In this episode, it’s the doomed romance of Sid Vicious (from the Sex Pistols) and Nancy Spungen in Alex Cox's sensationalized biopic.

This is the second Alex Cox film that we have covered. The first was the equally punk-centric movie, Repo Man in episode 58 of this podcast. Check it out!
