This virtual watch party idea has caught on lately as a great way to pass some time during COVID-19 pandemic quarantine — a few weeks back, Motley Crue hosted one of its own geared around the band’s 2019 Netflix biopic The Dirt.

Rocketman was released to theaters on May 31, 2019 — so this #RocketmanWatchParty is basically a one-year anniversary party for the biopic, which starred Taron Egerton as Sir Elton and was a real treat.

The film, which came out a year after the Freddie Mercury/Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, eventually earned an Oscar for Best Original Song for “I’m Gonna Love Me Again,” in addition to near-universal critical acclaim.

Said Rock Cellar’s Ed Rampell about the film in his review (click here to read):

Rocketman enthusiastically gets this critic’s seal of approval. It’s a must-see for Elton John fans and with its ingenious fantasy sequences and riveting story, a great ride for general audiences. The music alone makes this biopic about one of the greatest rockers of all time worth seeing (and hearing).
