If you've seen this movie, you realize just how fucked up that is. Not having sex ever again seemed like a good idea after that movie.

I don't think the person who made the movie really knew or understood the subject.
there's is no sensible structure, no linear narrative, no sense of context, no explanation of what a Theremin is or what a synthesizer is. There's an idiotic conversation where Moog talks about the concept of "synthesizing" sounds and DJ Spooky goes on for 5 minutes making a nonsense analogy about his methods of sampling and recontextualizing found sound, which a)has nothing to do with what Moog was just talking about, and b)has nothing to do with Moog synthesizers.
Another obvious point of silliness, showing Bernie Worrell playing a hammond patch on a korg for a minute then just as he goes to do a solo on the moog, cutting to another segment.
Only using a few seconds of the Moog Quartet performance footage from the 70s, but spending more time showing a DJ scratching a record?
Maybe 50 seconds of stereolab live footage.
etc etc.
