This Is Buzz is not simply their story of success and failure. It’s a mixtape of the ‘90s, a collage of songs mashed together to create a hybrid that eerily foreshadows many of today’s video streaming platforms. Go to Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Oct 2, 2026
Not only do the aesthetics of this documentary suck, but the film doesn’t come close to making the case that Buzz was important or groundbreaking Go to Full Review Alexander Miller MovieJawn Sep 25, 2026
