Weird Wednesday: The Apple

Hey hey hey, BIM’s on the way! Thoroughly rogueish futuristic disco musical/religious allegory from Cannon Films. There’s never been a movie even remotely like this and I wouldn’t bet on one being made in the future. A young couple, Bibi and Alphie from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan come to the big city to make it big in show business only to fall into the clutches of the satanic Mr. Boogolow, who runs a giant music conglomorate called Boogolow International Music (BIM) that’s roughly as powerful as the Military-Industrial Complex. Bibi becomes a star and takes Satan’s drugs but eventually Alphie musters the forces of Jesus to defeat BIM and take all the true believers and white children to Heaven in a Rolls Royce. With huge, shiny musical numbers that you won’t believe you’re seeing, including one in Hell, with dog-headed musclemen and vampires dancing around Satan’s throne. Non-missable. (Lars)
