Aidan Walsh: Master of the Universe (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

In 1987 Dublin was the focus of the world music scene. U2 were huge. Music scouts flocked to Ireland in their quest to find the next big thing. They didn't bargain on finding Aidan Walsh - comedian, entrepreneur and self-proclaimed master of the universe! Aidan Walsh first came to the nation's attention when he signed the quickest record deal in pop music history. All it took was a three-minute rendition of the Hokey Cokey. His rise as Ireland's unlikeliest pop star coupled with his painful search for family is a unique and bizarre story. From his troubled childhood in a Cork orphanage to his rise as Ireland's most eccentric underground character.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
