Last year, Harrison opened up about his feelings about Talking Head’s re-release of their film Stop Making Sense and how it acted as somewhat of a “healing experience” for the band.

“We own the film together, [so we had] to work together to make a decision,” he said while appearing as a guest on the Kyle Meredith With… podcast. “‘Is A24 the right distributor for us, the right partner for us?’ We had to have conversations about that, and this is something we did together. Then A24 is going like: ‘Here’s the offer — we’re going to get really behind this, if you help us.’ And so it was like, ‘obviously, we need to work together to make this a success.’”

As well as Stop Making Sense coming back into cinemas earlier this year and the remastered 4K version of the 1984 movie being shared, the iconic band also reunited at a special screening as part of the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

Since then, the members have opened up about the film’s creation in an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in June, saying that they didn’t want it to be “too Spinal Tap“.
