The Apple (1980)- Alphie and Bibi, two sweet, naive youths from Moose Jaw, Canada, have come to America to compete in the 1994 Worldvision Song Festival. Although the pair have talent, they are beaten out by the underhanded tactics of the festival favorites, another duo with the backing of BIM: Boogalow International Music, and its leader, Mr. Boogalow. Though crestfallen by their loss, Bibi and Alphie are soon delighted to hear the Mr. Boogalow has taken an interest in their music and wants to sign them to his label. All is looking up for the two until they begin to discover the dark underside of the rock and roll world.
Can't Stop the Music (1980)- The timing of this flick was especially bad, but even that isn't anyone's fault. When the film was being made in 1979, disco was huge and The Village People were among the hottest groups in the country, playing multiple nights at arenas all over the world and selling millions of records. But when this film was released in 1980, disco was "dead," and The Village People were "has-beens." Instead of being "cool," this film was laughed at when it was released. No one saw any of this coming.
