Which hit film is heartfelt, hilarious, head-banging, and helmed by a most righteous babe of punk cinema? It’s WAYNE’S WORLD (party time, excellent)! In honour of Emily’s birthday, we’re bowing down to Penelope Spheeris’s WAY worthy 1992 comedy about friendship, “foxy” ladies, and finding success on your own terms. Let’s look straight into the camera and address important questions like, did you ever find haiku writer, secret drummer and possible Scorpio Garth Algar endlessly relatable?

And why in the hell did Mike Myers not trust Penelope’s vision for what would become one of the most iconic music moments in movie history???
