"I think punk rock, especially for me, was a big middle finger to this whole talent thing."
- Mike Watt -
A brutally honest documentary chronicling four decades of NOFX’s career, exploring the music, chaos, and contradictions behind one of punk rock’s most outspoken bands. Through firsthand accounts and unseen moments, the film reveals a story that is as reckless and funny as it is personal.
Based on the novel by Glen Matlock, a founding member of the Sex Pistols and co-writer of ten of the twelve iconic songs on their sole studio album, 'NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS'. Matlock details the mindset of early 70s Britain and reveals a trove of secrets
Documentary about the Slovenian punk movement (1977–1985): the rebellion of high school bands against the Yugoslav communist regime. As Tito was dying, an explosive counterculture emerged in Ljubljana, which the authorities tried to crush through repression and the infamous “Nazi punk affair”.
A group of youths band together to break out of their hopeless small town. The story is inspired by Rancid and the '90s East Bay punk scene.
Late seventies, Poland. In a backwater town, Ustrzyki Dolne, a few teenagers form a punk rock band under the influence of the Sex Pistols. When Radio Free Europe starts a program for them following their letter, the communist secret service also takes notice of their rebellion. An officer makes it clear to them: Ustrzyki Dolne is not London, there will be no punk here.
Free punk and cult movies at Shout! Studios
For anyone even slightly familiar with the world of cult films, exploitation cinema, horror, or underground music documentaries, the name Shout! Factory - now known as Shout! Studios - probably needs no introduction.



The American publisher and streaming platform has been restoring cult films, releasing forgotten classics, and making films available again that are often hard to find elsewhere in decent quality.

What is perhaps less known: on the official YouTube channel of Shout! Studios, there are currently over 150 full movies available completely for free, mostly in good quality and with English subtitles. The selection includes a ton of cult films, exploitation cinema, horror, underground classics, and music films, among them quite a few titles that were previously only known from VHS, old DVDs, or hard-to-find editions.

Among others, available are:

–  The Harder They Come - the legendary Jamaican reggae film with Jimmy Cliff
–  Rock ’n’ Roll High School - the timeless Ramones classic
–  Smithereens - Susan Seidelman's cult New York punk film
–  Hype! - one of the best documentaries of the Seattle grunge scene
– The Decline of Western Civilization trilogy - Penelope Spheeris' legendary documentary series on American punk, metal, and alternative subculture

And this is just a few examples. The complete playlist can be found here:  [LINK!]

Shout! TV – free streaming with ads

Besides YouTube, Shout! Studios also runs its own streaming service called Shout! TV.



The service is free to use, requiring only a registration, and in return ads run during the movies.

Here, titles like these are also available:
Suburbia — Penelope Spheeris' raw and still brutal punk film
Dudes — punk road movie starring Flea and Lee Ving
The Punk Rock Movie — Don Letts' legendary London punk documentary



The selection of Shout! TV is essentially built on cult films, niche films, and genre movies, making it especially interesting for those who love to get lost in the less mainstream world of cinema.

While most streaming platforms increasingly offer the same content, Shout! Studios continues to do a pretty good job of making old, weird, or hard-to-access films easily watchable again - and often completely for free.
