Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among people who'll be humming afterwards and the curious, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside Stop Making Sense or The Last Waltz.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 55 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Eyeballs features a brief history of the Dead Kennedys' early years up to their first UK tour, never before seen live performances, interviews with Klaus Fluoride and East Bay Ray, comments by music journalists, and insights from the key people involved with the recording of the DK's first album. Jello Biafra's 1979 run for mayor is also highlighted.
