Description

When we saw this was playing at a local theater, we bent the rules so we could take in the story of how punk rock blew up a high school, thanks to the Ramones. A goofy, campy teensploitation movie produced by the great Roger Corman, this episode has everything from both Mary *and* Dennis singing, to an interview with the program director of the Ambler Theater, to a celebration of grindhouse, red-shifted film stock, and rock and roll.

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that. Artwork, opening and closing themes by Dennis Lingg Produced and edited by Mary Jones
