Pump Up the Volume

I liked this as a kid, but holy hell was it corny on a rewatch. He got so worked up over nothing by the way — it became something but started as nothing.
Corny as fuck
Concept was great, but it was a tricky customer to sit through.
Wish it dealt with deeper subject matter

Thought it was goofy and took itself too serious. If you liked this enjoy gleaming the cube.
