Synopsis
Steve and Roxanne have played in power pop bands for over a quarter century. The documentary, I'm That Fool, follows their current band The Irises as they try once more for the brass ring.
Follow the band's journey, both from their basement beginnings, and on the road to their next show, as they consider their place in the music world. Will a 20 minute long festival gig at an L.A. strip mall end 25 years of total failure and lack of success?
