Spike Jonze - Epicly Later'd

[Morning Jazz Radio]

This is a good one.

[MochaBDK]

Interesting journey

[too fakie]

The best part about this is that they got Rick Howard on camera. His little bit about being surprised Spike is still alive is golden.

[funeral_tuxedo]

Psyched for this. Thanks OP.
I hope Vice uploads all to 2017 EL episodes to YouTube.

[Paul Cicero]

Epic. The show has such a great history, I revisit episodes all the time. Who needs a good detailed one? I know they have done one with AO, but his career has changed so much since then, an updated one would be epic.

[Tear Up a Trick]

I didn't realize he died.

[huggs]

good stuff

really wish rickk had done one of these, maybe he'll turn up nine club one day

[TheDraught]

Is Megan in there?

[left knee cap]

they need to reupload the Fully Flared series onto YouTube... the ones that currently exist are 240p screen records and hard to watch. the guy, and mj episodes are great even the behind the scenes of the intro shoot.

[bohemian]

not available in europe.. anybody got a mirror link or a download?

[Andmoreagain]

this made me realize he hasnt made a movie in years. Where you at Spike?

He just did the new Jackass movie.

Only making a feature when you have a fresh idea or a new challenge to explore is the most badass way one could do it

[Bloody Matt]

also when you're born rich why make lots of movies?

Let’s not forget he’s got a lovely stake in Vice. 

Arguably he needs a screenwriter.   His strength is visuals.   Kaufman got him and Gondry on the boards and Gondry’s definitely slipped down in prestige.  He could maybe write his own like he did with Her, but he and Sofia both have documented/milked (not taking a stance) their failed marriage enough that it’d be interesting to see if he could do something else. 

Remember Where the Wild Things are?   Definition of a fine but forgettable movie.

Is "fuck" being edited a new thing for these EL reuploads?

Super edgy chanel vice used to play these during the day in Aus so they might be the tv versions.

[Lenny the Fatface]

I always wanted him to collaborate with Spike Lee on something, but I feel like they would hate each other.

He directed an Aziz Ansari standup and that Beastie Boys doc, but would be nice to see another movie.

[j....soy.....]

Meh…it’s 2022….a TV series?  He doesn’t seem too precious for it….

[Sila]

At the right moment he was born and made together a mirage of unreconciled worth

I like the Beastie Boys but haven't seen the doc yet. How are they cancellable?

I don’t know - I saw it and don’t remember anything egregious, particularly as they were pretty enlightened as far as rap and celebrities were concerned in the 90s.   Seeing how they haven’t been cancelled and thst docs been out for years shows this is a meaningless comment

I think it's more they're just like when we had the song girls saying they should do our laundry etc it wasn't us it was us doing a character trying to make fun of misogyny. Like it's just them really trying to make sure everyone knows where they're coming from.

I don’t know.  They used to roll with this drummer, kinda ditched her to make beastie boys, then used their clout to try and make good by giving lucious Jackson albums on grand royal

She rips here.  Love this live versio

haha that song is on 411 issue 21 and best of 4 in the "Chaos" section. great tune. never knew that back story

[Lenny the Fatface]

Y’all misunderstood what I was saying (or I didn’t explain it well), I don’t think they were going to be cancelled.

My take on the Beastie Boys doc was that they spent too much time distancing themselves and being apologetic about their image during their first two albums. Something I don’t think they would’ve done in a different social climate, or something I feel would’ve been addressed decades ago if they were really bothered by it.

With MCA’s death they are no longer making music as the Beastie Boys so some of it felt as if they were shitting on their own catalog before the wrong people decide to make their music sound more problematic than it was.

[Lenny the Fatface]

Since the doc is on my mind I’ll add this as well.

I feel like the narrative they presented  was a little misleading…that they were puppets of the music industry early in their careers but they found their true fanbase in the 90’s when given more creative freedom.

While this is partially true, Beastie Boys fans always appreciated them for their combination of simple whiteboy raps, loose flows, and experimental instrumentals. It’s just Def Jam ditched “Run DMC, but white” when hip hop got more black power and more gangsta around 1990, while their later deals let them be eclectic.

I dunno, I guess I feel like they should’ve just talked about Hello Nasty longer, than “boo hoo Rick Rubin put us in durags” lol.

I get ya, but they publicly distanced themselves from that in the 90s so that is a part of their story, not just a modern reaction.   Adrock is married to Kathleen Hanna
