Watched online, ok print.

35 songs in the Soundtracks, 18 Written by Ethan Gold plus 2 Written by Ari Gold.

The character's 1st name is Power.

Not as horrible as the premise sounds. Has a conflicting view of air drumming: it's represented as very marginal, but the competition in NJ has a large enthusiastic audience in the theatre, and the LIVE broadcast is picked up easily by AG's family in Lode NM.

We get other plot elements to add interest: he taught air drumming to a child friend who lost a parent, his own father derides him, but uses air drumming at a crucial moment of the copper mine strike.

Rated 6.3 (1,774)
