A case of amazing material and fascinating history squandered in the hands of an unfocused team. Lacks a coherent and clear vision, but is a serviceable time capsule of John Lennon and Yoko Ono co-hosting The Mike Douglas Show in 1972. Their agenda - to reach middle-class…
MeganOct 8, 2024John Lennon’s murder in December 1980 marked the end of an era. The motive, according to some sources, was outrage over Lennon’s lifestyle. The fatal shooting sadly seems to make more sense now, as polarization, violence, and technology increase emphasis on American…
MovieJawnNov 14, 2025A must see documentary of the week that John Lennon and Yoko Ono were co-host and chose the guests that were on the Mike Douglas show. It's a must see for this moment when television, politics, and music joined forces on 70s daytime tv. This couldn't happen today. Just…

I've heard tell of this famed week when fairly apolitical daytime talkshow host Mike Douglas invited John Lennon and Yoko Ono to be his guest host and program the show however they wished. This was right in early 1972, when Nixon was about to be re-elected in a landslide…
Johnny PomattoOct 11, 2024Pleasant doc about John Lennon and Yoko Ono guest hosting The Mike Douglas Show for a week hampered by some questionable AI choices that made them look at times plastic (and I don't mean Plastic Ono Band). Really interesting selection of interview subjects and this doc…
Robert DaytonMar 17, 2025Sometimes endearing. Sometimes annoying. Mostly interesting… Except for the last thirty minutes, which somehow managed to put me to sleep on three different nights as I kept trying to finish it. So! If you’re looking for a good sleep, now you know what to do.

I don't find much of the commentary particularly additive, but it's wonderful footage with plenty of character-revealing moments. I'd like to hope that the title is a knowing joke.

skylar moodyFeb 6, 2025God help me, but I love the early 70’s. It had ridiculous fashion, sincere political movements, crazy fads, and, of course, John and Yoko, before the government drove him underground. This isn’t a great documentary, but as a capsule of that time and those people, it’s a lot…

The film is thus mostly a surface gloss with a bit of context, relying on the performers and thinkers from way back when to create all the interest here. But Daytime Revolution is a nice editing job of presenting that landmark week of slightly weird TV to viewers 52 years later.

The movie’s quiet star is Douglas himself. Whether gently asking a tense Rubin about his upbringing, or helping Ono with her “box of smiles,” Douglas’s kindness and intellectual curiosity are more compelling than any political argument.

What IS remarkable, and kind of awesome, is that these confabs were beamed directly into the living rooms of some 40 million Americans via a rather unlikely platform: “The Mike Douglas Show,” a pleasant and mainstream daytime program aimed primarily at what we used to call housewives.
