Comments: I doubt the kids would enjoy this quirky old guy's brand of dadaist pop funk, but this beautifully filmed show is every bit as surprising and as good as Stop Making Sense.

Summary: Spike Lee documents the former Talking Heads frontman's brilliant, timely 2019 Broadway show, based on his recent album and tour of the same name.
