Spike Jonze and old pals Mike D and Ad-Rock get together to tell the story of the BeastieBoys in an Apple TV+ doc. Read TheFienPrint's review:
The late, great monologist Spalding Gray used to sit on the stage, usually at a desk, often with a binder in front of him, and tell stories. The minimalist one-man shows weren't inherently cinematic, but when they were adapted for the big screen, they attracted directors as dynamic as Jonathan Demme and Steven Soderbergh, drawn to the challenge of bottling the energy of a live performance — even one marked by limited movement and contained visual flourishes.
Diamond and Horovitz have been performing together since the '80s and they've been talking about the distinctiveness of the Beastie Boys for nearly as long. Trading off mic time like they would in a record studio or in a concert, they trace the Beastie Boys back to their New York City roots, their origins in punk appreciation and their move toward hip-hop at a moment when there was real novelty to the idea of a group of white MCs.
Diamond, Horovitz and Jonze aren't about ignoring the warts that a warts-and-all documentary might include, but they're not interested in dwelling. Maybe this points to Yauch's spiritual influence or maybe just the mellowing of age.
