Times Square // Get Punk'd

After becoming roommates in a psychiatric hospital, rich-kid Pamela Pearl runs away with teenage rebel Nicky Marotta, leaving her sheltered life behind for the streets of New York City. They deem themselves the “Sleaze Sisters” and throw televisions off roofs, start a punk band, work at a strip club, and team up with smooth-talking DJ Johnny LaGuardia (Tim Curry) to become an anthem of youthful rebellion. A punk rock fairytale!

'GET PUNK'D' is a monthly series recognizing the obscurity and unruliness of punk subculture. Ranging from low-budget indie flicks to coming-of-age dramas, these films feature a heavy dose of gritty rock 'n' roll soundtracks, DIY methods, and anti-establishment attitudes.
