About this listen

 DEVO (2024) is a compelling and definitive documentary directed by Chris Smith—famed for American Movie and Fyre—that explores the provocative journey of the influential art-rock band Devo. Debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024 and released on Netflix in August 2025, the film chronicles how the band’s origins amid the political upheaval of the Kent State shootings forged their radical philosophy of “de-evolution.” Filled with rare archival footage and interviews with the surviving members—founders Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale—the documentary highlights Devo’s rise from Akron, Ohio, to their MTV-fueled breakout with “Whip It,” their groundbreaking multimedia approach, and their legacy as multimedia visionaries who challenged conformity in pop culture.
