The documentary that won the Academy Award in 2015 is the topic of #670 of Have You Ever Seen. Asif Kapadia and his team look at the tremendous singer Amy Winehouse through archival footage and many new interviews with those in her circle, but the film sorely misses having these obscure people being shown on camera. Who's who?! We were also critical of how Kapadia's approach isn't as in-depth as he might think it is...and did this contribute to the pile-on done by the paparazzi and the media that loved to show her at her worst? There's so much blame to go around (her parents, the media, us and also her worst addiction…her husband Blake), but the women who badly needed rehab—and came up with a great song CALLED that—shoulders the most responsibility. At least we have the music. So cozy up to our chat about Amy. We're sponsored by Sparkplug Coffee. Apply our "HYES" promo code and win yourself a onetime 20% discount.
