As Conner4Real, his meteoric success is defined by his all too personal relationship with his fans, or Connfidants, who hang on his every bowel movement via Instagram. The trio play the Style Boyz, a boy band who had a couple of big hits in the 2000s but fell apart after lead singer Conner (Samberg) went solo, fell out with his lyricist Lawrence (Schaffer) and relegated Owen (Taccone) to being his DJ. But for Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer, it would have been almost too easy to loosely string together a number of their videos in a feature and it’s to their credit that their second big screen effort, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, is a perfectly silly parody of the kind of stage-managed documentaries that represent the genre at present.

If we had to bet on any modern music act reviving the band movie as the Beatles had it, it would be the comedy group The Lonely Island, who first came to prominence through Saturday Night Live‘s Digital Shorts and have released a catalogue of catchy numbers with hilarious music videos. However, most modern music acts don’t go down the Hard Day’s Night/ Spice World route in their cinematic tie-ins and concert documentaries (in 3D!) are more common than narrative features. Richard Lester’s A Hard Day’s Night is one of the most influential movies of all time, pioneering a genre out of Beatlemania and inventing the language that has proliferated in music videos over the last 50 years.
