I enjoyed it too. Loved learning more about old studios and their stories.

My Dad and I completed watching the final part on Sunday. I've read the books and watched the films about the second World War, but this is the most unique and well executed take on it I have seen so far. It's decidedly US-centric (Luverne, MN; Waterbury, CT; Sacramento, CA and Mobile, AL are the featured spots) and doesn't cover everyone whose lives were altered or destroyed by that hell on earth, but you're working with only 14 hours here. It doesn't gloss over the mistreatment - an understatement - of Asians, blacks, Jews and returning veterans, though. It's heavier when you realize that a majority of the interviewees must have passed away during the eight years since this doc was made, including Daniel Inouye whose stories are the most fascinating and grimey.
I watched this the other day. Kind of record related, it's not perfect but it's a great glimpse into a world I knew little about.

Similarly, there's also this documentary that looks purely into Cambodia's rock and roll history. You may be lucky enough to catch it at a festival or small cinema.

Citizen Four. Wish all the people around here who love gov spying and hate Snowden would watch it. Cinematically, it starts off nice, visually interesting, story unfolds as various people tell there little part. Then it falls apart hours (seemingly) of Snowden and reporters in his hotel room while he unfolds the truth (interesting) and does things like types emails to his girlfriend (boring). Over all you need to really pay attention to what is being said and try to process it all as much as possible.
Stax doc. Good.
Jack Johnson Unforgivable Blackness, Kevin Burns doc, very good, I need to watch disc 2.

Nothing that people on here won't have seen, but in the past few weeks I've watched both Dub Echoes and Looking For The Perfect Beat a handful of times each. Even though I can't really dig a lot of the productions the producers included in LFTPB are responsible for, I still have a lot of time for watching people at work and they all seem like good peoples

I went to the Los Angeles premier last night after work, which included a Q&A with John Pirozzi afterward. I enjoyed it as much as other recent international esoterica docs such as Mike Malloy's "Eurocrime!" I guess JP became interested in the subject when he worked on "City of Ghosts" with James Caan. The archive footage alone is worth the watch. That Drakkar track...damn. I met Xan Cassavetes briefly before leaving too (check the Z Channel doc, btw).

I caught the Dock Ellis docu on On Demand yesterday. Didn't know much about him apart from the "LSD no-no", but he was definitely a character, especially if you love baseball. And on the music tip, the score was done by Ad-Rock, as well as tunes by Mickey and the Soul Generation and Death (the Detroit one, not the Florida death metal one). Highly recommended.

Made a separate post about this and got crickets..Caught this at the premier a few months back. Solid work on Henry Stone, TK Disco, and Miami Soul classics. Be sure to check out when it eventually makes it's way to your city/the interwebs.
