Beastie Boys Story

The Spike Jones movie version of the live, spoken-word performance Ad-Rock and Mike D did last year to celebrate the release of their book. Very funny, personal, and revealing. It’s a great tribute to MCA and the music in general, and a different kind of musical biopic. Is it a documentary? Is it live theater? It’s hard to define. But it’s the most personal and reflective “thing” it could be, which makes it highly rewarding and worthwhile.
