Every movie needs a kickass soundtrack.
Here's ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WALLFLOWER'S.
Because the story simultaneously takes place in 1958 and 2018, I took the liberty of jumping back and forth between the timelines. So not only do we have Little Richard, Doris Day, Buddy Holly, and The Chantels, but also The Flaming Lips, Julia Holter, Perfume Genius, and Holly Herndon.

Each song is preceded by a description of the scene it’s scoring. Beware light spoilers.
