🏹DUDES🏹 1987 Dark Comedy/Adventure When punk rockers Grant (Jon Cryer), Biscuit (Daniel Roebuck), and Milo (Flea), decide they have had enough of the New York scene, the decide to move west to L.A.. When the trio decide to camp out under the star as while passing through Arizona, they are attacked by a roaming gang of redneck marauders, who murder Milo after short scuffle. Now set on a path a vengeance, Grant and Biscuit seek to hunt down the marauders with the help of a few ghosts, and a tow truck driving young woman (Catherine Mary Stewart) they meet along the way. I actually accidentally stumbled across this film while I was scouring the racks at @bullmoose, my local Entertainment emporium, and being a big Jon Cryer fan, I couldn’t pass up picking up this Shout Select Blu-ray. Packed with fantastic current interviews between the cast and Director Penelope Spheeris, and the original making of vignette, this this Blu-ray subjected me to a weird and wonderful film that I hadn’t been previously aware of. Grant fits perfectly into John Cryer’s quirky catalog of 80s on screen personas. #johncryer #flea #catherinemarystewart #80s #80sindie #vhs #bluray #cinematicanarchy #leeving #danielroebuck #punk #punkwestern #newyork #losangeles #penelopespheeris #penelopespheeris🎥 (at Haverhill, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRcp-w-M_y3/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Mighty Lemon Drops - Inside Out/Into The Heart Of Love (1988/89). God, I just love the 80s! So much variety but all of them so good. And that simple cool factor in so many of these bands. You didn't have to be outrageous and weird to be cool back in those days, just simple down to earth guitar rock music was all you needed. #themightylemondrops #insideout #80s #newwave #80smusic #80sindie #coolmusic
