#12 SLC Punk! & Punk w/ Tea Hacic
This week Megan Hattie and Rob Patrick get punk af with the multitalented Tea Hacic on two of her favorites, James Merendino's SLC Punk! (1998) and the Punk doc series (2019) from filmmaker Jesse Miller Smith and executive producers Iggy Pop and John Varvatos. Megan also professes her love for Tea's now-defunct-but-still-iconic anonymous Tumblr sex blog Sugartits.
Has social media ever been punk? Why did Tea dump her teenage punk boyfriend Jeremy? Did Rob ever go through a punk phase? And most importantly, will Rob make it to the end of the episode before his post-vax side effects kick in??
