Speaking as a non-US citizen that had never heard of the Over The Edge radio show, that was great.

That's OK, 99% of Americans have never heard of it either.

Yeah I guess it's what you might call 'niche'.

The first thing that becomes obvious is that Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart are hosers. Smart fellows but still goobers (Neil Peart of course is The Zen Hoser). It's a relief to find that the members of Rush are regular goofball Canucks with the ability to laugh at themselves and their position in popular culture.

The documentary itself is assembled and directed and edited extremely well. If you have any stomach (or intestinal fortitude) for Rush's music at all, this film should be highly entertaining and enlightening. Even professional douchebags Gene Simmons and Billy Corgan make insightful points.
