The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart 2020
This doc is eminently watchable, even if you don’t know every word of every track of the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. Interesting how as a culture we collectively choose to forget that the Bee Gees were revolutionary at every point in their long careers, from their 60s harmonies to that one time they accidentally invented disco. I love Led Zeppelin as much as any other cis het white person, but disco demolition night was a racist travesty.

Dazed and Confused 1993
You can feel the rug about to be pulled out from under America. Brilliant, carefree, delightfully icky and misogynistic. Hard not to be down for a rewatch.

Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan 2020
If you’ve known an alcoholic, you’ve known their tendency to aggrandize the past in bizarre and unhealthy ways. I came away deeply sad for the (largely unexplained) toll that drugs and alcohol have taken in this man’s life. Shane didn’t have to torture himself in order to become a great artist.
The more I think about this doc, the more upset I become that Johnny Depp not only enabled Shane, but also shaped Shane’s life story to fit his own bizarre, cartoonish, and incoherent “cool guy” aesthetic.
