A documentary about the week that John Lennon and Yoko Ono co-hosted the daytime TV talk show, “The Mike Douglas Show,” in early 1972, is headed to theaters.

Kino Lorber, which has acquired North American distribution rights to Daytime Revolution, announced that the film will be released in more than 50 theaters across the U.S. on October 9. The release coincides with Lennon’s 84th birthday.

Directed by Emmy and IDA Award-winning filmmaker Erik Nelson, with creative consultation from Yoko Ono and Sean Ono Lennon, Daytime Revolution features archival footage from each of the five episodes as well as interviews with six of the original guests, all reconstructing the music, the magic, and the behind-the-scenes madness of this unprecedented and historic week of television.

The theatrical release of the film will be followed by a home video, educational, and digital release on all major platforms.

“Daytime Revolution takes us back in time, as we observe John and Yoko interacting with a transfixed studio audience in revealing Q and A sessions where John Lennon was astonishingly candid about his life after the Beatles,” says a press release. “John and Yoko also got to pick the guests, some very controversial at the time, like [anti-war activist and Yippie] Jerry Rubin and Black Panther Bobby Seale, as well as Ralph Nader and George Carlin. In addition, the shows featured blazing musical performances, including an epic duet with Chuck Berry, and a poignant rendition of the now classic ‘Imagine.’ Conceptual art events and even cooking segments were woven into the crazy fabric of the format.”

Director Erik Nelson said the team behind Daytime Revolution “made a conscious decision to hold back release until the Election fall of 2024, as we felt very strongly that the film’s optimistic and idealistic message would be a far more welcome ‘letter from home’ the closer we got to what promised to be an apocalyptic and tension filled November 5th. We were clearly right in that assumption!”

Jack Russell, a founding member and lead vocalist of metal group Great White, died Thursday, August 15, from multiple system atrophy and Lewy body dementia. He was 63.

“With tremendous sadness, we announce the loss of our beloved Jack Patrick Russell — father, husband, cousin, uncle, and friend,” reads a statement shared by Russell’s loved ones on X. “Jack passed peacefully in the presence of his wife Heather Ann Russell, son Matthew Hucko, cousin Naomi Breshears Barbor, and dear friends Billy and Cheryl Pawelcik.”

In July, Russell had shared a statement regarding his struggles with Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy.

“I am unable to perform at the level I desire and at the level you deserve,” Russell said on social media at the time. “Words cannot express my gratitude for the many years of memories, love, and support. Thank you for letting me live my dreams. You have made my life a wonder.”

Great White , which formed in Los Angeles in 1979, had a string of hits, including their biggest, “Once Bitten Twice Shy,” which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989, according to Billboard. Others included “The Angel Song” and “Rock Me.”
