text:  Maxine's story is set in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s, a place and a decade that I am very, very familiar with. And as I told Ty West, he really nailed the vibe. And in addition to that, particularly 1985 was a big time for a moral outcry against lyrics in heavy metal music, satanic imagery, violence in movies, home video, offering young people the ability to see stuff maybe they shouldn't see.
