It's the mods vs. the rockers on this episode of Ruined Childhoods as Dan & Jon celebrate the cinematic achievements of Franc Roddam based on the music of The Who. The 1973 album Quadrophenia set the story and the 1979 film sets it in motion with an incredible performance from Phil Daniels and memorable appearances from Phil Davis, Ray Winstone, Leslie Ash, and Sting. Dan and Jon talk about the history of the mods, the music of The Who, and how they envision a new future for Quadrophenia.
Next episode: Posse (1993) • The 3rd season of Ruined Childhoods is a year-long cinematic/alphabetic yo-yo, taking listeners from A-Z and then Z-A.
