Summary

Brian & Cargill wrap up Gals Who Rock with a iconoclastic jaunt down the filthy streets of Times Square.

But don’t worry, they have The Sleaze Sisters, Abel Ferrara, and a scenery-gargling Tim Curry to keep them company. The start of Alan Moyle's music trilogy (with Pump Up the Volume and Empire Records), Times Square plants the seeds of Moyle’s fascination with strong women, broken youth, and fading institutions. The guys discuss the runaway friendship of the leads, the soundtrack, and playing Movie Geek Bingo on the marquees of 42nd Street.

Punk rock, strip club house bands, Q The Winged Kismet, and more!

It’ll brain your blows out!
