It was similar to a biopic which has the effect of reintroducing music to a whole new audience. I came away from the movie wanting to hear more.
I know it came out it 2019 but people may have caught it in streaming

Funny story. For the last week that Conan O'Brien hosted The Tonight Show, in an act of revenge, he had the band play Beatles songs at every break. That cost NBC a fortune.
