Welcome to peak Streaming Season, which also happens to double as Peak Spending Time With—and Inevitably Getting Frustrated With—Your Loved Ones season. Thanksgiving marks the official holiday kickoff, and if you’re lucky enough to get some time off and not have to spend it battling other shoppers for Black Friday deals that likely don’t even exist, odds are you’re going to soak in some breezy TV content. Streamers know this, so they program for it, leaning heavy on the nostalgia. Which can only mean one thing: music documentaries.
This weekend brings two big ones. First is another doc about the Fab Four on Apple TV+: Beatles ’64, about the year the blokes from Liverpool took over the States, one moptop at a time. The other is personal to us. On Friday, Ringer Films will release Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary, the definitive story about the ’70s and ’80s soft-rock genre that’s taken on a second life in the 21st century. That one’s part of The Ringer’s HBO docuseries Music Box, and it’s available on Max just about the time you’re done with your annual viewing of A Christmas Story.
