Rock Docs: A Podcast About Movies About Music For the Season 1 finale of Rock Docs, the documentary is Bittersweet Motel, about the seminal jam band Phish, released in 2000, directed by Todd Phillips, who went on to direct the Hangover movies and was nominated for three Oscars for "Joker". For this episode we are joined by a Very Special Guest: Rob Mitchum, who is the co-host of the excellent Grateful Dead podcast "36 From the Vault" as well as the author of the Substack "Phish Essays", which examines every Phish show from 1994 onward. Rob can be found on Twitter @robmitchum. Bittersweet Motel is controversial among Phish fans. Does the film fairly and accurately capture the band during an important period in their history? What would Phish fans Andy and Rob do if they could play Peter Jackson and recut the existing footage? Is Trey Anastasio the inspiration for the Joker? Thanks to Rob for joining us and to everyone who's followed Rock Docs through Season 1. Season 2 is coming soon, so keep an eye out for more Rock Docs.
