Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Corrine Burns retreats far into plans for her band, The Fabulous Stains, after her mother's death. So far that she gets them (she and two cousins) on a tour with a washed-out glam-rock group and a rising British punk band, radically changes her appearance, attracts a cult following and national media attention. With luck like this, what could go wrong?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In a May 2019 interview with Christine Smallwood in the New York Times Magazine, Laura Dern said that she was never interested in abusing drugs because Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols "pulled her aside" on the set and "scared her straight" when she was 13. She recalled to Smallwood, "I was saying to my mom, 'Who knew that the best thing to do would be to send your daughter to do a movie with the Sex Pistols for five months?'" See more » |
