I think that we've sort of skirted around the other elephant in this room, which is that there are a ton of really amazing music documentaries about basically all of the people we've talked about.

Obviously, Don't Look Back, the canonical Bob Dylan film, and then No Direction Home, the later one by Martin Scorsese, et cetera, et cetera.

So I do think it's interesting that one of the best music biopics ever made is a fake documentary about a fake musician.

Yes, and Spinal Tap, of course, yes.

and many, many others along the way.

But there's something so both specific about Popstar.

It's really nailing the mid-2010s version of pop culture, featuring real musicians, doing talking head interviews about a made-up musician.

The industry parody is just such a fine point on it.

It's a really, really...

lacerating, but also loving and just knowledgeable and accurate.

What can we even say?

Are we allowed to play a little bit of one of these songs or are we just going to have to bleep the whole thing?

Incredible thoughts.

We made a new song at the farm.

And the poppies paired us with the craziest special guest to perform with.

No, go.

Yeah, it's going to be weapons, but about the Beatles.

I do think there will be, at some point, some weaved together cut.

There's going to be a four-hour cut of this movie that you're going to be able to see, whether soon after the four are released individually or 20 years later when some film student makes it work.

Oh, but it's going to be so sad when the Ringo movie makes less than all the rest of them.
