Weatherman 69 (1989)

Featuring a cast that includes Sonic Youths Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore Mike Watt of the legendary hardcore band Minutemen and Pettibon himself this deadpan narrative pays dubious homage to the 1960s radical underground In this crudely rendered home video of a commune of stoned revolutionaries the cameras are handheld the edits incamera and the dialogue is wryly ontarget Pettibons band of outsiders reenacts a countercultural moment defined by rock music drugs and ideological paradox and in so doing captures their own late80s West Coast grunge milieu as well
