“Talent Show” satirises music‑videos while exploring sexual development in the age of the spectacle. It uses found footage of young boys lip‑synching a bubble‑gum rock song as they attempt to publicly assert their new‑found sexual power; the spectacle is undermined by the realistic lyrics of the soundtrack and the comically over‑enthusiastic thrusting of the boys’ bodies on stage.
