The Great Rock ’N’ Roll Swindle [1980]

We are back for our first episode of 2022. On this one, we discuss the mockumentary film , the Sex Pistols 'The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle. Publicly despised by Johnny Rotten, and dismissed by the rest of the Sex Pistols, we look at the (mostly) fictional telling of the Sex Pistols story, through their notorious manager Malcolm McLaren.

Masterfully directed by legendary filmmaker Julien Temple, this film is an oddity, and a must watch, even for non Pistols fans, if not for for its visuals, and the very limited footage available of Sid Vicious.

It's an obnoxious, bawdy and shocking tale, but one that must be seen. Thanks for sticking with us in the off period, we are back at normal transmission.

Cheers
