There's much to love about Tenacious D in the Pick Of Destiny, from its stellar soundtrack to its special effects-heavy fantasy sequences to its star-studded cast (featuring cameos from Tim Robbins, Ben Stiller, Fred Armisen, Meat Loaf, and Amy Poehler).
In a short documentary about the making of the film, Black said he and Gass have wanted to make the movie for a long time. "Back in those days we were just like, 'You know what would be the most awesome thing? [It] would be to have a movie.' And we finally reached the pinnacle of our quest."
Liam Lynch, a musician himself, said his goal in making the movie was to "stay true to the lore of the D for the hardcore fans." Longtime devotees of Tenacious D watching the film will see recurring faces from the TV show and music videos like Saasquatch, Paul F. Tompkins, and Satan, played by an unrecognizable Dave Grohl. "For a guy that grew up listening to death metal to be in a movie as Satan looking like this is, it's awesome," Grohl said.
So if you're looking for something to stream on Netflix and are ready to experience a comedic rock-opera packed with Meat Loaf playing a religious father staunchly opposed to rock music, a laser-filled heist scene, and a spectacular Satan rock-off finale, it's hard to go wrong with Tenacious D in the Pick Of Destiny.
