“40 Years of Fckin' Up*” chronicles the highs and lows of one of the most influential and important punk bands of all time, NOFX.
The film goes behind the scenes of the band’s final swan song- opting to go out on their own terms at a time when legacy bands are cashing out. The much-publicized riff between NOFX head Fat Mike and longtime best friend and guitarist Eric Melvin is explored in detail here, which gives explanation to Fat Mike pulling the plug.
