We talk to Rich Wilkes - Movie Screenwriter behind the films 'Airheads', 'XXX', 'The Dirt' and the rock & roll road documentary 'Punk Like Me'. Rich shares insights into the Hollywood Movie industry and how he began his journey as a Screenwriter. From early days writing to Charles Bukowski, taking roles in films such as 'The Lost Boys' and B Movie Horror 'The Dead Pit' to working with the unbelievable cast of 'Airheads' and getting the opportunity to rub shoulders with his High School heroes Mötley Crüe as he put together the original script to the biopic 'The Dirt'. We also hear about Rich's experiences living out his rock & roll touring fantasy on the Vans Warped Tour which is wonderfully captured in the film 'Punk Like Me'.
