49. Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story

After the highs of one of rock's biggest albums, we're diving into perhaps the greatest-bad biopic of all time; VH1's "Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story".

 

Is it described as "the biggest pile of shit ever made" by Leppard's Joe Elliot? You bet. 

Does it bizarrely re-write history to turn the band it's celebrating into a bunch of lunatic monster people? You're goddamned right it does. 

Is it the least convincing representation of England (filmed entirely overseas) put to screen? Yes. All of the yes. 

 

It's terrible and fascinating and completely tone-def (hyuck) and we're very excited to discuss this, Dan mostly so that he never has to sit through it again. With no one involved wanting to take any credit, you can even find the entire thing on YouTube, so you get the peaches, we'll get the cream, and let's jump straight in!
