Listen to Looch: 'Beastie Boys Story' presents band's timeline in their own words

Beastie Boys Story is almost less of a documentary and more of a PowerPoint presentation — but don't let that put you off.
It was filmed in a beautiful theater in Brooklyn, N.Y., and it's basically a timeline of the Beastie Boys' career with still photographs, with the band's Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz — aka Mike D and Ad-Rock — telling the story in their own words.
It's really well done, it's done very creatively, and it's clear that the love in that room, the audience in that room, is all Beastie Boys fans. And of course, the sad part is talking about Adam Yauch who passed away a couple years ago.
It's a different kind of format; it's a little clumsy some places, it's a little corny in some places, but for any Beasties fan, I think you'll love it. It's streaming on Apple TV.
