Best of the Rest
Each week on Best of the Rest we take a second look at a movie that was poorly received upon release, but challenge ourselves to only talk about what the movie does well. Maybe not every movie is great, but all movies have GREATNESS!

At the peak of their popularity, The Monkees released their only feature film. Virtually no one saw it. Perhaps it was because the movie was a deliberate subversion of their popular show, or maybe it was due to a bizarre marketing strategy, but this week all we care about is what the movie did well.
