I can explain the plot of Can't Stop the Music. It's the same plot as The Muppet Movie: A bunch of lovable misfits form a friendship based on shared dreams of fame and fortune, go on a journey to realize that dream, and overcome several obstacles before succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. The difference is that The Muppet Movie was good.
And also the simple fact that there was a road trip needed to realize said dream in “The Muppet Movie,” and in “Can’t Stop the Music,” there’s nothing really needed to do to realize it aside from stalling for comedy.
But as Brad Jones pointed out, the movie never bothers with how becoming a singing group or becoming famous effects any of them. They're a product and the movie only cares about the people getting rich off them. Kind of like the Will Smith movie King Richard.
Probably. Then again the real origin could come of as offensive and cynical. They created a group to appeal to a certain fan base (and yet weren't raked over the coals like The Monkees). It could come off as very manipulative and offend the audience. If you go the other way you could just make "Spice Girls" again and nobody wants that.
I'll always remember "Can't Stop the Music" because it was a movie I watched years ago while violently sick with the flu. To this day, I'm not sure which was worse, the illness or the film.
I'm kinda disappointed that The Apple was completely overlooked by the Razzies committee, as it came out on the same year as this film. And on that subject, I challenge you to do a Cinematic Excrement review of The Apple - if you can survive it. Hundreds of free LP copies of the soundtrack didn't on opening night, as they all ended up being hurled to the screen.
Mario Quade I can see why people would find it funny and I don't think anyone who does is a bad person, but at the end of the day, it's still a scene of child abuse.
Being released on exactly the same day as "The Blues Brothers" (June 20, 1980) was not the wisest move for "Can't Stop the Music", among other things. Granted, "Blues Brothers 2000" received mixed reviews and underperformed commercially upon release in 1998, and Sean should definitely cover that film.
AtrocityEquine I don't know why people criticized Faye Dunaway in that one. Personally, I thought she was realistic in betraying a mentally unstable abusive mother.
Jennea Coleman-Cubero Exactly. Her acting this role was way, way too real for me, but to anyone who didn't grow up with an emotionally abusive parent, they wouldn't recognize it as such. All they'd see is a histrionic, explosive, almost cartoonish performance.
20:50, Wait, WHAT? I honestly had no clue that actually happened when they somewhat finished making "Can't Stop The Music" or was still working on it at the time!
The ending lead me to Google. I can see why that reaction. Best of luck with those coat hangers. 😉 Also, that "2 Snowballs and a Dingdong" line did make me giggle too. 😂😂😂 Anyways, I do like your idea here. Thank you! 👍
Danny Boy: the tune is an Englishwoman’s mangled version of a tune she heard in Ireland, and the words were written by a very English hack. But a lot of Irish and a lot more Irish-Americans have embraced the song.
everytime i watch a review of this movie caitlyn jenner's crop top and booty shorts at 12:33 is the best part. that and the milk song. 😂 i'm really excited to hear your take on mommie dearest. especially since other critics like the cinema snob have already given the razzies the drag they deserve for taking that film out of context and giving it and faye dunaway such unfair treatment for what's actually a really great performance.
This is the most homoerotic in-the-closet film I've ever seen. It's trying to cater to the gay audience such as with the imagery in the YMCA sequence, but due to the time of it's release, it's too afraid to have any of its characters actually be gay! It's trying to have it's cake and bake it too!
My most favorite thing from this film is Valerie Perrine's apartment...that is awesome! Other than that Guttenburg's rollerskating..everything else is fluff! LOL!
Dude, when you actually watch that scene in context of the movie, it doesn't come across as funny at all. It's a scene of child abuse and it's disturbing as heck.
yea, I know the context. When the movie first came out, the audience treats it like a campy film, then the studio remarketed as a comedy causing to get that famous line reputation.
There is very little that brings me quite as much joy as seeing you've uploaded a new episode of Cinematic Excrement, which I typically watch ritualistically late at night on my own giggling like a small child. This was no exception on both counts.
The "Milkshake" sequence was an homage to Busby Berkeley production numbers from the 30s which were filmed in black & white which is why they didn't use any color in that scene.
It was a harmless fun movie that didn't take itself seriously and bore about as much resemblance to reality as Spinal tap. The music was catchy and in Oz it had a Captain Kremin short before it
4:05 The Lifetime "Most Questionable Career Choice" goes to....(drum roll)... JOHN TRAVOLTA! 5:26 Ms. TessMACHERRR!!! 21:05 PFFT! $20 million dollars?!? That's the budget for STAR WARS _and_ ALIEN combined!
Disco was nothing but a fad. An oudated product of the seventies. Disco Demolition Night on July 12, 1979 was considered to be the day Disco died. In fact, the 1980 film Airplane, even made fun of Disco with one scene where the airplane flew into the radio antenna of WZAZ. WZAZ has the claim, "disco lives forever". Around the turn of the decade, disco was out and rock was back in. And to top it all off, Baskin Robbins had a promotional tie-in with Can't Stop The Music with a flavor of the month called "Can't Stop The Nuts". Yep, you've read it right.
I assume that they put Neil diamond in blackface for The jazz Singer because the original movie also had blackface. It was a bad call both times but wasn't considered all that outrageous in the original.
Great video Sean. "Can't Stop the Music" is deserving of the Razzie for Worst Picture, but there is another movie that was infinitely worse that I am surprised was overlooked by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation. I am talking about the 1980 musical "The Apple". Produced by Cannon Films and directed by the late Menahem Golan, it makes "Can't Stop the Music" and "Xanadu" look Oscar worthy by comparison. It was the motion picture debut of Catherine Mary Stewart who is best known as Maggie from "The Last Starfighter".
People always get this concept wrong about when things actually occurred in time but disco was still really big in 1980. A lot of the whole flower power 1960's stuff happened after 1970 but that's another thing that people get wrong. Of course there was backlash against disco but that started happening as soon as disco started happening.
“That’d be like if they made a film about nickelback in the year...nah, That probably would’ve failed any year.” Okay, I’ll admit. I like nickelback (they aren’t perfect, i mean “Dark Horse” and “No Fixed Address” are disgusting as hell and boring as hell respectively, but at least give “The State” and “Feed The Machine” a chance.), but even I have to agree that it will fail.
Yeah, much as I like the band, I don't think a movie about them would turn out well. I think it's best they left a song on a movie's soundtrack than be in a feature film.
Amane Suou well they did. Burn It To The Ground for Transformers ROTF, Savin Me for The Condemned, Breathe for Clockstoppers, Slow Motion for Punisher, and if you want to get technical, Hero for Spider-Man even though that was just Chad Kroeger.
Randy Jones cited this movie as his one regret about being a Village Person. He also observed "The line is 'You can hang out with all the boys,' not 'You can hang out and drop the soap.' I totally get how the gay angle happened, and it doesn't bother me, but it's all on you." He has a point.
Hey Sean, I really applaud you on this project, but just a heads up expect hurdles ahead. For one thing the 1982 worst picture winner Inchon has never been released on home video and that includes VHS and Betamax, It sometimes appears on torrents or in chunks on youtube, but those are usually claimed by MGM out of what I assume is embarrassment and shame, because it sure as hell isn't about lost revenue as they won't release the damn movie.
I did manage to find a full version of the movie on TH-cam. He could use this if it stays up by the time he finishes the 1981 worst picture winner, but he will have to deal with the 240p quality and the Bandicam logo at the top. Link: th-cam.com/video/EqpsPjLTzWo/w-d-xo.html
Liam Kinch trust me. The MGM copyright bots will have it down. I would love to see him review Inchon. I'm just bracing for the possibility it won't happen
I don't know. Considering that the video was uploaded on June 29th of last year, maybe the bots have been slacking on their job. That isn't a bad thing, though.
Can't argue with you on that one. I've been trying to get SOMEONE to review that movie for what seems like ages, my go to was originally Cinema Snob as he does what he calls "what the fuck!" Hollywood movies, but it'll be nice just to have someone review it finally.
Aw man... I remember seeing that atrocity at the drive in... it was the second movie of a triple feature that night... third movie was Xanadu and main attraction was Flash Gordon... a triple header of stinky cheese!
True, but when it came out Flash Gordon was heavily sold as a really good movie of the same calibre as Star Wars.... it had the Queen music and a ton of commercial tie-ins. They really sold it hard, but when it hit the screens it really REALLY failed to deliver. We can now look back at it thru the MST3K lens and it's indeed good cheezy fun, but man oh man what a disappointment when it first came out.
Thing is, Flash Gordon was very popular in the UK because that style of camp and acting was in at the time. I haven't checked how the movie was advertised in the US, but it feels like whoever did the marketing wanted it to compete with Star Wars. Flash Gordon knew from the beginning that it was camp, was unapologetic about it and made it clear that it was. I'm not sure how you could mistake it with a Queen soundtrack and the costumes and bright colors. And beside, it's still far from the worst space opera that tried to compete with Star Wars (Starcrash, anyone?).
Since they were remaking the original Jazz Singer with Al Jolson, and his big schtick was "black face" - that's why they would put Diamond in make up. It's not a good idea, needed or intelligent...but that's why.
Thanks to Wikipedia, I can tell "Mommie Dearest" is next! Plus, I know what to look forward to in the next 25 episodes or so! I hope that you'll review a lot of the stinkers some people haven't had the guts to review (and I think you've either overlooked or put off for too long) like "Leonard: Part 6", "Gigli", "Showgirls", "Movie 43", and "Howard the Duck"!
wow, i gotta watch this movie. ha. from the clips you showed. One has to be really high to get this movie. Those slow moments you mention, could be mini movies embedded to one.
I have been wanting to make a "The True Razzies" award for all the years that they picked terrible choices for worst of the year and replace them with actually good (or bad) choices.
Though there is one problem with this review series you’re planning. You’ve already reviewed Battlefield Earth, Catwoman, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, The Last Airbender, Jack and Jill, Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, 50 Shades of Grey, Fant4stic, and Hillary’s America, all of which won Worst Picture.
When you finish the series, you might want to be checking IMDb's 100 Bottom Movie List. Few of them won razzies, but others were too obscure to be even nominated. I wish you the best in the Razzie review series.
Easy! He described himself as Sean "Smeghead" Moore in his closing credits. "Smeghead" is the derogatory term uttered by Dave Lister(played by Craig Charles) as a put-down to the smarmy, unctuous Arnold Rimmer(played by Chris Barrie). Rimmer also cops it from The "Cat"(played by Danny John-Jules) though not so much from Kryten(played by Robert Llewellen). Check the series out. I guarantee it will have you rolling on the floor with laughter.
I know this comment is 5 years old but I just had *thank you* for the introduction to Red Dawrf. Because of this comment, I decided to look it up (like the person above ^ I assumed Sean’s name had some other meaning 😅) and I’m so glad I did. It’s hilarious! Thanks again, internet stranger!
@@Thurston86 The funny thing about the show that was revealed to me later on, after the show went off the air, was that the word *Smeg* which was used as an expletive, was actually an Italian brand of kitchenware(kettles, mixers, ovens, cooktops, etc.).
I can explain the plot of Can't Stop the Music. It's the same plot as The Muppet Movie: A bunch of lovable misfits form a friendship based on shared dreams of fame and fortune, go on a journey to realize that dream, and overcome several obstacles before succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. The difference is that The Muppet Movie was good.
Diva said that too.
One is placed in the Library of Congress, while the other one went to Amazon

They're a product and the movie only cares about the people getting rich off them.
Kind of like the Will Smith movie King Richard.
"Giving a Razzie to Lawrence Olivier seems like sacrilege."
And two episodes later, Sean ended up eating his words.
What did he do?
@@daelen.cclark Watch his review of Inchon.
@@MissBarker93
I did, & I can see why.
It wasn’t a good nomination in the 80’s, but the Inchon one was a good choice.
“I am as white as I look! What can I say?” - Sean Moore, 2018
A Village People biopic seems like it would be a lot more interesting today if it were done well.
Yes I think the LGBTQ+ community would make sure it's done with the proper respect and shade
Probably.
Then again the real origin could come of as offensive and cynical.
They created a group to appeal to a certain fan base (and yet weren't raked over the coals like The Monkees). It could come off as very manipulative and offend the audience.
If you go the other way you could just make "Spice Girls" again and nobody wants that.
Most Questionable Career Move? That sounds like a great category to add to the Golden Raspberries

He's almost done. Two more movies left
A review series of all the Worst Picture winners? This should be fun.
I wonder how he'd react to Mommie Dearest. I didn't find it that bad of a film.
I think that's what he's doing next time.
It is.

AtrocityEquine I don't know why people criticized Faye Dunaway in that one. Personally, I thought she was realistic in betraying a mentally unstable abusive mother.
Jennea Coleman-Cubero How dare Faye Dunnaway acts over the top when that how Joan Crawford was really like.
Jennea Coleman-Cubero Exactly. Her acting this role was way, way too real for me, but to anyone who didn't grow up with an emotionally abusive parent, they wouldn't recognize it as such. All they'd see is a histrionic, explosive, almost cartoonish performance.
20:50, Wait, WHAT?

In Australia 'Can't Stop the Music' is played every year after midnight on New Years Eve since the 1980's.

Yes, Australians love a bit of camp. The Village People were huge in Oz.
Great work man. I can't wait to see the rest in the series.

Jake Voronkov Well only a single member of the Village People was gay and I'm talking about every single line up.
Michael Lewis They make it clear that every man in the film is either involved with or interested in a woman.
It’s like “The Bird Cage” but everyone goes home to their wives
Shouldn't that be "have it's cake and eat it"
If this movie is still in the closet it has a sliding glass door.
Interesting idea to continue your show Smeghead. I like it. Also, good luck with Mommie Dearest.

Hey, kids! Next time, do you wanna hear about a biopic that deals with child abuse somehow ending up being funny? No? Well, too bad!
I remember the Macarena. I can’t recognise anything else other than that and YMCA.😂
It lived on in the 90’s and 2000’s
Either I'm super tired, super immature, or a bit of both, that ice cream name made me laugh so hard I cried.
I believe that the soundtrack for this album was the last one for the full original lineup of the VP.
Ok, I was wrong: By the time this movie was made, two members of the group had already been switched out for other....'singers'?
It's amazing how you have been at this worst picture project for almost 5 years.
Backlash my @ss...disco music was still in heavy rotation in 1980.
Around the world but not in the USA sadly
Aw man... I remember seeing that atrocity at the drive in... it was the second movie of a triple feature that night... third movie was Xanadu and main attraction was Flash Gordon... a triple header of stinky cheese!
Seriously? The Shining was nominated for the Razzies. That movie was great.
Flash Gordon, at least, is cheesy fun. The only singing is by Queen, who knew what they were doing.
True, but when it came out Flash Gordon was heavily sold as a really good movie of the same calibre as Star Wars.... it had the Queen music and a ton of commercial tie-ins. They really sold it hard, but when it hit the screens it really REALLY failed to deliver. We can now look back at it thru the MST3K lens and it's indeed good cheezy fun, but man oh man what a disappointment when it first came out.
Thing is, Flash Gordon was very popular in the UK because that style of camp and acting was in at the time. I haven't checked how the movie was advertised in the US, but it feels like whoever did the marketing wanted it to compete with Star Wars.
Flash Gordon knew from the beginning that it was camp, was unapologetic about it and made it clear that it was. I'm not sure how you could mistake it with a Queen soundtrack and the costumes and bright colors.
And beside, it's still far from the worst space opera that tried to compete with Star Wars (Starcrash, anyone?).
Elenna Pointer Queen in the early 80s was questionable.
Since they were remaking the original Jazz Singer with Al Jolson, and his big schtick was "black face" - that's why they would put Diamond in make up. It's not a good idea, needed or intelligent...but that's why.
The plot... So the plot...
The plot for Kuzco, the plot chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's plot. That plot?
I like that movie
Thanks to Wikipedia, I can tell "Mommie Dearest" is next! Plus, I know what to look forward to in the next 25 episodes or so! I hope that you'll review a lot of the stinkers some people haven't had the guts to review (and I think you've either overlooked or put off for too long) like "Leonard: Part 6", "Gigli", "Showgirls", "Movie 43", and "Howard the Duck"!
No one told me there was a gay dress code!
wow, i gotta watch this movie. ha. from the clips you showed. One has to be really high to get this movie. Those slow moments you mention, could be mini movies embedded to one.
I have been wanting to make a "The True Razzies" award for all the years that they picked terrible choices for worst of the year and replace them with actually good (or bad) choices.
Though there is one problem with this review series you’re planning.
You’ve already reviewed Battlefield Earth, Catwoman, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, The Last Airbender, Jack and Jill, Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, 50 Shades of Grey, Fant4stic, and Hillary’s America, all of which won Worst Picture.
I'd love to see you review Xanadu.
When you finish the series, you might want to be checking IMDb's 100 Bottom Movie List. Few of them won razzies, but others were too obscure to be even nominated. I wish you the best in the Razzie review series.
Sean "Smeghead" Moore? Yeah, a Red Dwarf fan! Consider yourself saluted, Arnold Rimmer style!
Neil Forbes
How do you know he’s a Red Dwarf fan?
Easy! He described himself as Sean "Smeghead" Moore in his closing credits. "Smeghead" is the derogatory term uttered by Dave Lister(played by Craig Charles) as a put-down to the smarmy, unctuous Arnold Rimmer(played by Chris Barrie). Rimmer also cops it from The "Cat"(played by Danny John-Jules) though not so much from Kryten(played by Robert Llewellen). Check the series out. I guarantee it will have you rolling on the floor with laughter.
Neil Forbes
Okay. I thought it was some sort of explicit term.
I know this comment is 5 years old but I just had *thank you* for the introduction to Red Dawrf. Because of this comment, I decided to look it up (like the person above ^ I assumed Sean’s name had some other meaning 😅) and I’m so glad I did. It’s hilarious! Thanks again, internet stranger!
@@Thurston86 The funny thing about the show that was revealed to me later on, after the show went off the air, was that the word *Smeg* which was used as an expletive, was actually an Italian brand of kitchenware(kettles, mixers, ovens, cooktops, etc.).
