Someone hit up Sacha Baron Cohen, we gotta new dead rock legend Rami Malek can steal from you.Always nice to see a well put together documentary, never heard anything else than Bobby Brown before so it definitely made me more interested in Frank Zappa’s discography.
Interesting, nothing mind blowing but certainly a good documentary.
