Welcome back to one of NSCDUV's most beloved daily features, which takes aim at the most confounding, misleading or abruptly hysterical info-bar synopses of the day's cable programming.
And while yesterday saw Top Gun rocked into the rarified air of intellectually complex cinema, today we blindly follow the Info-Bar wherever it tells us to go, because we are mindless automotons enslaved by the hypnotic glare of our television.

Today's entry is:
The Rock & Roll Kid
The Actual Story: Sundance-accepted documentary looks at a pre-teen, Jimi Hendrix-inspired axe-wielder whose parents try and facilitate his dreams without interrupting his life as a normal kid.
Cable-Info Bar Synopsis: "Follow eleven-year-old Danny Sveinson, a guitar-god in training, as he rockets to fame."
What Their Description Would Have You Believe: That in yet another feeble attempt to hypnotize us under its control and suck us into its seedy underground layer of poorly executed capsule reviews, we must obey the almighty Info-Bar's instructions and gaze into the television long enough where we get sucked in, Poltergeist-style, doomed to relive the life story of Danny Sveinson for all eternity. Will the evil Cable Guide have its way, or will couch potatoes worldwide unite and once again foil its sinister plans? Stay tuned to find out. Just not to Sundance. Because it could be treacherous.
