Merry Christmas one and all! We all like a good movie over the festive period, but we also like slagging off crap movies too. Hence, Tom has summoned the two best film critics he knows: Danny Barrett off The Crash Mats and Eddie French off Punk Rock Elite Podcast to discuss, dissect and review Julien Temple's 1980 "documentary", The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle, which stars The Sex Pistols and their hangers on.

Part 1 has all the things you imagine when thinking about punk rock: Gimp masks, funk medleys, jamming rock n roll standards, child nakedness and singing lessons.

The film's available to watch on YouTube, so it may be worth watching that so you know what we're on about here.

Part 2 will land in a couple of days!
