Headline’s a bit misleading, this is a documentary not a biopic. Very stoked to see it though.

What a great choice of director for this doc. Julien Temple is deeply wired into all things UK music.

Can’t wait for this. Shane is one of my all time favorites.

I can’t help but think of the call-out in this song when I hear his name:

Oof. As much as I look forward to this it reminds me of the idea “Every film about war ends up being pro-war”, is there a music doc about a band or musician that had such problems that doesn’t end up glorifying alcoholism and drugs even while showing their ravages alongside the glory.
