In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:17:47Read transcript
- Research covers Berenger’s keyboard practice, Laurance learning bass, enthusiastic concert extras, filming locations, Schneider’s German music career and Joey Balin as the lounge singer; more of Joanne’s late unraveling is desired. — Bill Simmons

Picking Nits
Disappearance coverage; polished concert footage; conventional Season in Hell; unlikely friendships
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:23:49Read transcript
- Nitpicks question the limited attention to Eddie’s disappearance without a body; local news reach and the band’s uncertain fame are counterarguments. — Bill Simmons
- The polished, multi-camera color footage of the early-1960s college concert is considered implausible. — Van Lathan
- Season in Hell sounds too conventional to justify its supposedly shocking avant-garde reputation.
- A complaint that Frank learns piano impossibly fast is corrected: he already plays and Eddie teaches a rock approach rather than the instrument itself.
- The band members are considered unlikely friends outside music, with Sal and Doc the possible exception. — Chris Ryan
