Robert Dayton’s review published on Letterboxd:
Pleasant doc about John Lennon and Yoko Ono guest hosting The Mike Douglas Show for a week hampered by some questionable AI choices that made them look at times plastic (and I don't mean Plastic Ono Band). Really interesting selection of interview subjects and this doc wisely limited it to people who were directly involved with the show for that week. It could have used some tighter edits and more context. There were quick shots of Barbara Loden with zero explanation; it was a lost opportunity not to show the interview clip of this important woman filmmaker talking about her great movie Wanda. I'd also have loved to have had more background on Mike Douglas and how this show regularly had a wide and interesting range of guests: he seemed like an open guy. I saw this doc with a crowd of Boomers who tittered when the so-called "square" Douglas sang a respectful "Michelle" (he's got a great voice) and when Yoko Ono let loose on her energetic song "Midsummer New York."
