The Go-Go's (2020)
5/10
Gives You An Idea of Pop We Probably Already Knew
8 August 2020
What is so interesting about this documentary is that it isn't very interesting at all, and that is not a bad thing. It's a documentary about pop artists that ran their course, split up, got back together after time apart to give it one more shot into their old days for their fans.

I guess the most interesting thing to pull one to this documentary is to bill the Go-Gos as "the first female rock group". I never thought that then, and don't think that now, however all the trappings of any pop group was bestowed upon these ladies, and what pulls one in is that they could keep up with the rest of them with the drugs and alcohol. Who didn't? But again, no new territory here. And members who didn't get along for the same old reasons that eventually they never get along once popularity hits from hits. And the solo career of their lead singer, no new territory there either.

Again, a pop 80s documentary to add to the list of 80s pop documentaries out there with no new territory to cover, just a 'nice thing to know, if you care to know, if you already didn't know in the first place.
