Yeah, from everything I've read and heard on the subject of the film, the 4 people were trying to kill the image of the monkees as a pre-fab four teen band constructed to solely make money of teeny boppers. They weren't being taken seriously in their music and it frustrated the hell out of them. By associating with some of the most creative persons in Los Angeles who were NOT part of the establishment (Nicholson and Zappa), I think they were trying to get cred and shed, once and for all, the shackles that were the "hey hey we're the monkees". If I recall correctly, the opening sequence of the movie was Mickey Dolenz committing suicide by jumping off a bridge and sinking into the water. The irony is they needed the protection of The Monkees name and image to even get any attention at all. So by killing The Monkees off and removing the teeny bopper anchor around their necks, they killed off any real hope they had of making the kind of music they wanted to make. It was a small box they were in.
