Oliver C @OliverClose Sep 25 Fans like the ones who packed the Kings Theatre will love Beastie Boys Story the most, but the personalities of Diamond and Horovitz and stories they tell are enough to draw in even non-fans.

For longtime Beastie lovers though, there's nothing new here See more Avi J @RT34992210 05/04/2025 Have you ever wondered what a boring 90 minute TED talk with two of the Beastie Boys would be like? You don't have to. See more Dr. Steve B @RT93454727 12/08/2023 I like them less now. Sooooooo sappy and just terrible. Those two guys are not entertaining or funny at all. Yes the old footage is good. Would've like to see more about how they made hello nasty and relationship with mix master Mike, who is actually entertaining if you've seen "Scratch", but this documentary was bad. Ad-Rock getting all emotional just felt staged, I mean well it was literally staged. Had to turn it off. See more William N @William125 09/22/2023 It was a decent documentary and I didn't mind the format. However, it felt like this documentary was a way for the Beastie Boys to purify themselves from whatever transgressions they may have deemed unacceptable in their past. For example, they claim to not like most of the songs from License To Ill, to include some of the most popular songs like, Fight For Your Right To Party, and Girls. Also, they claim that there was another member of the Beastie Boys by the name of Katie, in fact she's mentioned quite often by the Beastie Boys. This seems like a lame attempt to rewrite their history. The Beastie Boys claim to have evolved throughout the years which explains not liking some of their most popular songs which are filled with womanizing themes but they never take accountability for key decisions which they made themselves. Like requesting a large dick on stage during their license to ill tour along with a cage with a woman dancer in it. The Beastie Boys claim that this request was intentionally bonkers because they didn't expect it to be followed up on (yeah ok). They just came across as lame at times throughout this documentary trying to disavow things that they did that are deemed culturally inappropriate now. Own it man, there's nothing wrong with what you did ; without those songs from License To Ill there are no other albums, License To Ill is what made you famous. Stop trying to purify yourselves, it comes across as lame. See more Jamie C @itsjamie 09/04/2023 Loved it! a fun, and at times emotional remembering of their wild journey and musical genius. Missing Adam Yauch and bummed out there won't be new music from the trio, but happy for everything they already gave... See more Read all reviews
