Beastie Boys Story

Beastie Boys was a MAJOR part of my childhood and early teenage years, this documentary brought back many great memories. So many great photos and great clips, charmingly narrated and super entertaining. I guess its fair to say that Adam Yauch was somewhat of a pioneer for the DIY / creative director / designer thing in hiphop found in current acts like A$AP Ferg etc. Admirable how they stayed at it and stayed friends through all the years while making great music and challenging themselves and exploring their sound all along. 10/10

Mike and Adam get on stage and tell it like it is, with the help of the creative genius, Spike Jonze. Never a dull moment as they go back to the roots and reveal all in a Bestie Boys sort of way. Filled with humour, intelligence, emotions, but most of all, MUSIC! Most importantly is the relationship all three had. It was a very tight bond and this stage show really highlights that with paying tribute and respects to the legendary Yauch...

As a somewhat old sod i grew up with Beastie Boys and this inside story told by sadly the only two of the boys still with us made me laugh and brought a tear to my eye...more that once i might add. Its rare to see a friendship like those 3 guys had and the 2 still with us still have....very touching and quite emotional to watch. So if you have even the slightest interest in Beastie Boys you owe it to yourself to watch this :-)

Born in 1983. Didn't listen much until Intergalactic, my 8th grade year. My friends in grade school & into high school listened to Death Row, No Limit & Cash Money. We were young city white kids into NFL Starter jackets. Internet sucked, simple times. My older brother had album Check your Head, I was hooked. Awesome to see where this amazing music originated. This is definitely not your standard documentary about a music group. I really like the format, made me feel like I was lucky enough to be able to attend this event. Sure people might expect a biopic or intense narrated film, but this felt personal. Yes, they are prompted, but nobody could get through that many years w/o skipping pivotal things otherwise. Must watch.

This is a quintessentially Beastie Boys moment. Doing a documentary their own way just like they did it with music. Always creating something new. This is story telling, an opportunity to walk back in time with these artists as they guide us through a journey from their perspective. An ode to MCA. An adventure that's worth the ride. I laughed out loud. I cried out loud. I got up and danced. I fell in love again. Thank you.
