Suburbia (1983): Punklandia
Manage episode 285310023 series 2810902
Train Wreck Theater is proud to present episode 20 wherein we watch Suburbia (1983)! This time capsule of a movie captures the lives of some punk rock teens in the early 80s living in an abandoned house in LA and is an amazingly prescient look at society and culture in 2021.
This is a crazy ass movie and as a result this podcast contains a lot of discussion of violence and sexual assault (for the record, we are against both). But please be aware before listening as we do discuss it in some detail.
For some reason we decided we all needed to give each other punk rock names for this episode so you might hear some of them in this episode, here they are on the punk rock roster:
Tanner - Zig Zax
Gracie - Rodeo
Juno - Cherry A-Bomb (a.k.a. Bitch Slap)
Aaron - Chugdar The Destroyer
Moore - Mile High Morhouse
Paul - The Smoking Pope
Jeannie - Sizzle
Not joining us on this episode but still worthy of punk names were Caryl Anne (a.k.a. Caryl Inyoface!) and Peter (a.k.a. Cliffhanger)
Train Wreck Theater is a weekly comedy podcast wherein we watch a forgotten, odd, obscure, terrible, terribly good, terribly unwatchable, or weirdly watchable movie and then take it apart and try to put it back again!
