Dear Jack Documentary
Dear Jack (2009) chronicles McMahon's overall battle with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) from diagnosis to remission. McMahon taped every moment of his cancer experiences with a handheld DV camera, from using a lint brush to remove his hair to radiation. He also includes his stem cell transplant (on the day "Everything in Transit" was released), which he received from his very loving sister, Kate. To show his appreciation for his sister, McMahon wrote her the song "There, There Katie," featured on the Dear Jack, EP. Dear Jack is narrated by Tommy Lee.
