Tapeheads - Teste Matte (1988)
Ivan e Josh sbarcano il lunario lavorando come guardie di vigilanza. Dopo aver sabotato il sistema di sicurezza video della società i due rimangono senza impiego e senza un soldo. Proprio allora la coppia di amici decide di fondare la Video Aces cercando di sfondare nell'industria dei video musicali per diventare delle grandi star. Ma la via del successo è lunga e tortuosa e con pochi mezzi e tanta fantasia Ivan e Josh si trovano a lavorare in un mondo animato da bizzarri personaggi: gruppi musicali scandinavi, un candidato alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti dai gusti un po' particolari e concerti rock alternativi.
