About the film

Get On Up is a 2014 American biographical musical film directed by Tate Taylor and written by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth. Produced by Brian Grazer, Mick Jagger, and Taylor and Victoria Pearman, the film stars an ensemble cast featuring Chadwick Boseman as singer James Brown, Nelsan Ellis as Bobby Byrd, Dan Aykroyd as Ben Bart, Viola Davis as Susie Brown, Craig Robinson as Maceo Parker, and Octavia Spencer as Aunt Honey. Using a nonlinear narrative, it follows James's stream of consciousness as he recalls events from his life in an asynchronous manner, occasionally breaking the fourth wall to address the audience. This is the third collaboration between Aunjanue Ellis and Nelsan Ellis after The Express: The Ernie Davis Story and The Help (also directed by Taylor). The project was announced August 2013, along with Boseman, Davis, Spencer and Ellis' casting.

Where it streams

How to watch it together from different places

Each of you opens Get on Up on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
