Going To Whatstock?

About This Movie

So, 'Going To Whatstock?' is this interesting little journey that follows Michael and Jackie O'Brien as they attempt to revive their sixties band for one last hurrah at 'Goodstock' in West Virginia. There's a warm vibe throughout, a mix of nostalgia and the bittersweetness of revisiting the past. The documentary-like interviews, especially with Ed Begley Jr., give it a nice layer, allowing reflections on the sixties music scene while also grounding it in personal family dynamics. The performances feel genuine, capturing the essence of both joy and struggle in the music and their relationships. It’s not overly polished, but that gives it a charm, you know?

This film has had a bit of a tricky release history, with limited availability on DVD and some indie streaming services. Collectors have found it quite scarce, especially since it didn't have a wide distribution. There's a niche interest in music documentaries that explore personal stories, making it a curious piece for those who appreciate the sixties music scene and heartfelt narratives.
