Dozens of the biggest pop stars in music history got together in the middle of the night in 1985 to record "We Are the World," a charity single to raise money for famine relief in Africa. It became a huge hit, and now it's the subject of the documentary "The Greatest Night in Pop." Director Bao Nguyen ("Be Water," "Live From New York!") combines archival footage and new interviews to tell the story of this generation-defining anthem. Christy and Alonso love this kind of documentary and were very excited to tell you about it. Featuring Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Dionne Warwick, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Sheila E and Kenny Loggins. Now streaming on Netflix.
