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
- Best for music lovers and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me or Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry? This is a good next one. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 26 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Emerging from the Detroit music scene of the 1970s in a flurry of long hair and sequins, Alice Cooper restored hard rock with a sense of showmanship, while simultaneously striking fear into the hearts of Middle America with the chicken-slaughtering, dead-baby-eating theatrics that would cement his identity as a glam metal icon. Meticulously crafted from rare archival footage, Super Duper Alice Cooper tells the story of the man behind the makeup, Vincent Furnier, the son of a preacher, who got caught in the grip of his own monster.
