What else can be said about the much-anticipated Runaways movie?

We know that Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning physically impressed original bandmembers Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, that the movie has some girl-on-girl action, that you might want to pick a different flick for family night, and that it actually is Stewart and Fanning rocking out on stage!

So even though the flick may seem a bit naughty and risqué (and it is), it does have an educational side to it, too.

When the girls catch up with Daily 10's Ben Lyons, they talk about how they hope their fans will follow them on this rock and roll journey and get educated about the first girls to rock!

"This was the first all girl rock and roll band and a lot of people don't realize that," Fanning said.

And aside from really realizing that they really were the first girl rock band, Kristen Stewart quickly got a musical education when she was doing her homework to play Joan Jett. 

"There are bands I know. She loves Led Zepplin, she loves The Stones, but then there's a million things I didn't know..." Stewart said.

So click on the clip to get some music knowledge, find out what it was like on set and hear what it took to get into the musical mind of The Runaways!
