Every week, Kristopher Pollard from Milwaukee Film and Radio Milwaukee’s Dori Zori talk about movies — because that’s what you do when you’re Cinebuds.
Live from Milwaukee ...
Too easy? Sure. But appropriate considering the subject of this episode, in which we find our hosts diving into Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music.
While not a movie, per se, the documentary does have movie-ish qualities rolled up into its 2-hour runtime (3 hours when including the many, many, commercial breaks on Peacock). Perhaps the most prominent evidence is the meticulous approach of its director, Questlove.
The co-founder of The Roots has added to his already-good name by establishing himself as a top-notch documentarian. In this project, he uncovers behind-the-scenes stories from the show's most iconic performance while highlighting its surprising influence on music history. Then there’s the mash-up he uses to kick off the entire thing. Worth the price of admission, all by itself.
