Bonus Video: The Beach Boys - An American Family (Biopic Breakdown)
Added 2024-01-31 15:38:15 +0000 UTCHey everybody,
I was a couple of hours behind with this but here is the first Bonus Video for 2024.
It's on the 2000 TV-Movie about the life of the Beach Boys.
This is the most effort I've ever put into a Bonus Video on Patreon, so I hope you enjoy it. Let me know any suggestions for future Biopic Breakdowns!
Hope you dig it,
E.

This movie seems straight up aggravating. Seems like scene after scene of how not to make a music biopic. I know a lot of people, myself included, tend to have some issues with a lot of music biopics, but damn this is really bad. So thankful we have Love & Mercy.

2024-03-18 03:16:46 +0000 UTCI do remember watching it when it premiered and taping it too. It did got me into the Beach Boys a bit more soon after. I liked it because how they used the actual recordings, but there were a few funny moments like Brian showing Dennis how to play the drums with his mouth. But as I learned more about the Beach Boys, I could see that this is more of Mike Love's biopic whereas Love and Mercy is Brian's biopic. Team Brian wins hands down!
