Apple (1980)
Info:
- Release Date: November 21, 1980
- Creators: Menahem Golan (director), Iris Recht (writer)
- Genre: Biblical Musicals
- Rating: ★★★☆☆
Plot:
- In the distant future (1994), the music industry loves disco and Satan (Mr. Boogalow), not necessarily in that order. What's a good, clean folk music duo from Canada (Bibi and Alphi) to do? Find God and the hippies in the nearby park, of course.
Notes:
- Come for Catherine Mary Stewart, stay for the disco numbers
- Loved Mr. Boogalow's enormous champagne coupe glass
- I'd like to think Cousin Kevin (from Tommy) ended up as Dandi
- Not sure why we're supposed to chose the hippies over the disco crowd
- If there's one thing I've learned from MST3K, be wary of Golan Globus
- A retelling of the Biblical fall from grace using the music industry
