This is hands down my favorite documentary. It was the first film Todd Phillips directed about the lunatic punker GG Allin who died in 1994 from a heroin overdose. The absurdity of everyone’s behavior in this film makes this seem like a parody of a punk band documentary, like Spinal Tap. Oh no, my sweet lambs, this is real. Very real. Very disturbing and highly amusing. Highlights of this film include: While performing at a local college, GG peels and shoves a banana in his rectum; in the opening here the naked drummer explains why he drums naked.
