We push and pull on "Pistol", Hulu's slick and stylized miniseries which re-imagines Steve Jones' autobiography, "Lonely Boy". "Pistol" presents one possible story of the birth and death of the Sex Pistols. We talk about the compromises inherent in telling any story, the merits of related documentaries, the truth and fiction behind "Pistol", and the impact of the Sex Pistols.
