MUSiC/MEDiA: Beastie Boys Story, 2020

Watched this on Apple TV.

I started watching this yesterday, and finished it off tonight. It was superb. It’s done as a film of a live stage show, presented by Adam Horowitz and Michael Diamond, aka Ad-Rock and Mike D.

Shot in New York’s fabulous (?) Theatre, and directed by Spike Jonze, it’s a very informative, candid, and ultimately moving piece of work.

Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch.

The story of their rise to fame and success is an enjoyable and engaging one. Seeing Ad-Rock well up and break down in his soliloquy about Yauch, near the end, was very powerful.
