When a masked supervillain named Spotlight and his twisted father, Gary Mayor, form the Spotlight Seven to terrorize Los Angeles, Michael must rise beyond his insecurities to stop them. Along the way, he gains unlikely allies: Brad, his witty and stoic bodyguard; Samantha Carpenter, his love interest; and Goku, a misguided martial arts master. Together, they face trials, betrayals, and epic musical showdowns. The journey culminates in a spectacular showdown against the Spotlight Seven, forcing Michael to prove that being a true star isn’t about the spotlight—it’s about the joy you bring to others.
Smooth Criminal

Michael Jackson is a legend in the world of craft brewing. His 1977 book, The World Guide to Beer, was the first of its kind, and the first to categorize almost every major style of beer in the world. His 1993 television series, The Beer Hunter, became an instant classic, and helped launch the spectacular craft beer movement that we take for granted today. Michael's engaging writing literally saved many styles of beer from extinction, and his work inspired an entire generation of brewers to experiment with beer styles from around the world. Many in the beer world are unaware that Michael was also the leading author on the subject of whiskey, and his books on whiskey have sold more copies worldwide than his books on beer. His sudden death in 2007, at the age of 65, shocked the beer and whiskey worlds. His legacy and contributions were substantial, and should be recognized and remembered. As a person, Michael was one of the best, as those fortunate enough to know him can attest to.
Desperate to become as rich and successful as their idol, a trio of Michael Jackson impersonators hustle their way into Hollywood agencies, are accosted by paparazzi, and cross paths with Grammy-winning musicians as the American dream seems tantalisingly close. But as they perform for dollar bills and sleep in their car, the reality of the ruthless entertainment industry they dream about hits home.

In the midst of the most horrid stagnation era in the Soviet Union – at the end of October 1982 – the Monk (Ivo Uukkivi), Allan Vainola, Peep Männil, and Villu Tamme gather for band practice in a room above the garage of a private house in Pääsküla and form one of the most (politically) heavyweight punk bands in history – Velikiye Luki. For the 60th jubilee of the Soviet Union, Ivo and Villu bake a voodoo ginger cookie and while they gobble it down, they demonstratively establish their programme of action: to destroy the Soviet Union.
This documentary was made by Martin Strothoff on Helter Skelter Records in 1989. It features footage from several live gigs that Youth of Today played on their 1989 European tour along with a German interview that aired on regional television. "I organized and booked the Y.O.T. + Lethal Aggression DIY tour on my own and accompanied them as a driver. Three of my best sandbox friends accompanied me on the long 89 DIY tour as drivers and rowdies. It was a chaotic tour in many moments and a beautiful experience that I would not want to miss. If I had actually produced, supported or released the Halter Skelter - Bootleg "Live in Vienna" or this "European Tour Dokumentars - 1989", at least I had spelled my name correctly. During the tour I had neither means nor possibilities to record or film the concerts. (In 1989 there were no iPhones yet!) "Helter Skelter Records" is not known to me either."

Remembering that this documentary is not an official documentary by Cogumelo Records, which aims to launch an official project about its history soon. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the bands and people who were not mentioned in the documentary, as it is impossible to cover everyone, especially the way we work, without sponsorship, without a producer, with our own resources. I hope you understand.
