Dex gives the Duo Jets history himself, no alt narrator, and explains why they dissolved (his bandmate disagrees).  After the split, archive footage of &#8220;who can I count on if I can&#8217;t count on you&#8221; (harsh), and Dex says he entered a &#8220;semi-psychotic spiritual odyssey.&#8221;  Half the movie is Tony&#8217;s own archive &#8211; this was his attempted follow-up to <em>Inside\/Out<\/em>, abandoned and then finished 16 years later.  Nice tricks: a duet between Dex&#8217;s older and younger self, a time-lapse of a full solo show with snippets of each song.  Sara&#8217;s not in the movie, she replaced Crash on drums in the Dex Duo the year after this came out.
