    1. You need an Apple Music streaming subscription to watch the movie. I’m guessing it isn’t for sale.

      I refuse to subscribe to streaming services. The only people that make money out of this are the streaming companies. The musicians are totally fleeced by big business.

  1. Stop with the damned 808 movies! We get it – the 808 was huge in the eights and became a dance music essential. For fucks sake, tell a new story.
