Good enough interview anthology
A pleasant enough time spent with Zappa, generally sitting around in sitting rooms. I had seen much, but not all of the interview footage. Much of it is '80 vintage Zappa, and most of it is him being urged to spew forth on sociopolitical topics. Not so much on his compositional ambitions or musical techniques, though we do get a brief over-the-shoulder glimpse of him operating his Synclavier.
There are video band clips as well, and here is where I feel compelled to drop a star: a number of clips of the first two lineups of the Mothers, that is one-or-two minute fragments. Wanna see the tunes entirely! There are later vintage clips as well, such as footage from "Baby Snakes". Been there, done that is my reaction. But the earlier stuff earns a fifth star when I can see it completely.Read full review

Eat That Review
When Frank Zappa talks, people listen. Even 20 some-odd years after his death, Frank Zappa leaves an indelible imprint on society and the world at large. The movie, "Eat That Question" presents the raw, stark FZ that we have come to know and love and who was taken from us way too early. 'In his own words' is the best way to describe what you will see and hear when viewing this film. Frank tells it like it is and is unapologetic. He has that right. You ask him the questions and he will fire it right back at ya without regard to personal feelings or language. More often than not, he shoots from the hip and lands it right where he wants it.
This is not to say that he is deliberately callous or nasty. He is just very up front. But, you will come to appreciate that, along with his wry humor and quick wit. Try this movie and tell us if you can watch it just once. I bet you can't resist a second showing.Read full review
