One of the best ever. On AMAZON PRIME: Two great music docs. OASIS: SUPERSONIC. The rise and fall basically. Loved it. And the story of their record label UPSIDE DOWN: THE CREATION RECORDS STORY. The only guy crazier than the GALLAGHER brothers was the founder of their label ALAN MCGEE. On SHOWTIME: WHITNEY: CAN I BE ME. A truly sad and devastating take on her downfall and death.
