This week, Mary Lucia talks about a new documentary series about punk rock that's airing on the Epix channel.

According to the press materials, "PUNK is a four-part docuseries from executive producer John Varvatos and punk music legend Iggy Pop that features original interviews with America's punk pioneers and the U.K.'s most notorious bands."

Mary says that for longtime fans of punk music, "You're not going to learn a lot, but it's kind of cool to see these people today, and then to see the juxtaposition of them in their prime."

Beyond the documentary, Mary recommends checking out the press conference held in support of the documentary, in which Johnny Rotten, Henry Rollins, Marky Ramone and others get into quite the verbal rhubarb.
