Spend your Sunday afternoon with Kiss, Megadeath, Ozzy, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and more in Spheeris’s chronicling of LA’s late-80s metal scene and all of its excesses—but especially the hair. (93 mins., DCP) The screening is followed by the third installment in the Decline trilogy, in which Spheeris documents LA’s “gutter punk” culture by interviewing teens who live on the street and in abandoned buildings while adhering to an extreme antiestablishment ethos. (86 mins., DCP)
