New film set during 1970s London punk scene
Since you're all busy getting to know about the emergence of punk in the 1970s, I draw your attention to a new film streaming on Amazon Prime, How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Set during London's punk explosion of the mid-1970s, the film is an irreverent, funny sci-fi treatment of a short story by English fantasy author Neil Gaiman and directed by John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch).

Im so excited you posted this trailer! Its actually got a couple of broadway alums in it! As you mentioned it has JCM who stared in, wrote and produced Hedwig and the Angry Inch which is one of my top three rock musicals! The film also starts Alex Sharp who won the 2015 tony for best actor in a play! I wasn't aware it was out yet but I'm defiantly going to watch it now! I know its Sci-Fi but would you say the musical references to the 1970s punk genre is accurately portrayed?
