The Legend of the Stardust Brothers

A boy-band origin story so niche it invented its own subculture. It’s the tale of two inept would-be idols plucked by a morally flexible producer who turns them into an overnight sensation, with their superfan riding along for the spectacle. The film itself is practically a bootleg artifact, gleefully rough around the edges.
