I highly recommend it for the interviews with legendary cartoonists Hy Eisman (one of my teachers at the Kubert School) and Russ Heath (the last Heath interview before he died) – both of them having had their art swiped by Lichtenstein.

You can now watch WHAAM! BLAM! on multiple platforms, including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, YouTube, Vudu, Vimeo, and more.
