Yes - this is a fine movie

The popular clip of the duo performing "Taste The Biscuit" is what whet my appetite to see the full-length feature, and so I did a little detective work (it's currently free on YT) and just finished watching it. They actually perform the song twice in the film, the second time on the sidewalk under a busy flyover.

The music mockumentary is now a well-trod format - pioneered by Spinal Tap, and further honed by Flight Of The Conchords - but there's a rawness and honesty to this piece that feels fresh. The music is first and foremost - which is why it works. Someone really thought about these songs and they weren't just shoe-horned in.

The bit with Moose on on the beach with Toaster's solo piece providing the soundtrack is actually quite a moment. There is hardly any chemistry between anyone and for some reason that works really well here - they are not trying to make anyone like anyone else - it's very natural.

If you like your films irreverent and unusual you'll probably like this, maybe even love it. I can see this being very popular as it finally gets the worldwide attention it deserves.

Bravo Toasters, and bravo Moose 🙌
