Feels good to hit this number, especially without having a big marketing machine behind Game File. Thanks, everyone!

Poly Styrene was an amazing front woman. This kind of adulation is common now but not so much in the seventies. Great appreciation of an important artist.

The documentary includes footage of the band performing at Eric’s in Liverpool, with Poly in a military-style outfit. At the end of the set she is mobbed by adoring, mostly male fans, some of whom paw and kiss her as she is jostled off the stage. It’s enough to make anyone walk away.

I’m not saying superhero movies and shows are inherently bad. I am saying that common elements of the superhero genre — moral simplicity, bright colors, corny quips, etc. — are designed to appeal to children, and Dad Shows are not for children.
