In the not too distant future of 1994, Mr. Boogaloo and his cronies are causing all sorts of mischief. Can our heroes, Alfie and Bibi, resist the temptation of…The Apple?
In Seen It we talk more musicals: musical men, musical sounds and French umbrellas.

You should see The Apple 2: Electric Boogaloo
Boogalow*
Also produced by Menahem Golan !
@@Auditore31 boogalore
It's like Golan was sitting around going "Ah yes, the kids, they love this Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Tommy, and Lisztomania, and Phantom of The Paradise," and nobody bothered to tell him, "Uh, those all came out like 5 or 6 years ago..."
"It's so roofie. Speaking of which..."
You sure you haven't seen this yet, Matt?
I have been wondering for YEARS what “Faster, Faster!” was from 😄
I thought it was a line from Dracula Dead & Loving It. I coulda sworn I heard it in Renfield's crazed voice
You mean Whiplash?
I can't remember which movie, but it was from this black and white movie they watched where someone kept saying it like that "Faster Faster!" throughout the whole movie
When BiBi left the stage the first time, I imagined her yelling BOLO! 😂 Great episode y'all. Keep up the awesome work!
You can be whatever you wanna be
Have you guys seen "Turbo Kid?" It's the late 1980's idea of a post-apocalyptic 1997. But it was made in 2015. It's a great watch and Michael Ironside chews all the scenery.
Such a fun movie!
While the whole ironic modern take on 1980's aesthetics is pretty overdone at this point, I think Turbo Kid stands out for being a movie that would still be worth seeing even without its goofy style exercise.
Plus I adore the idea of a Mad Max post-apocalypse where everyone just rides BMX bikes instead of murdering a man for a single tank of gas.
@@UnseenGlasses Your next stop could be 'The Rollerblade Seven'... probably the 'best' worst movie ever made. It's something else. I would love Matt and Craig to watch it some day.
While I watched, I noticed the actress who played the landlady looked like the actress who played Grandma Rosy from Balto. I looked on IMDB and found out Miriam Margolyes, who played the landlady in this film, was also in Balto! Interesting...
Great content as always, guys!
She was also Professor Sprout.
@@aestevalis0 Three years late, but she also got knocked out by Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors
Hard to believe it's only been four years since I sent y'all this. Pre-Covid feels like a lifetime ago now.
One of my very favorite parts of WTTB is seeing how Matt will segue us over to the old leather couch. Very appreciative of all the thought that goes into this show
The actual, actual, actual, actual vampire cracked me up.
Miriam Margoyles what are you doing here?
Apparently she was friends with one of the other actors, and fancied the notion of going to Germany for a few weeks to film what was basically a glorified cameo.
Thanks for the Birthday shoutout boys! And thanks to my good buddy Thomas! You guys have the best show on TH-cam :) *thumb kiss*
Have a Great Week!
Without THE MUSIC MAN, we wouldn't have MARGE VS. THE MONORAIL. That makes it worth it.
The comedic value in watching you guys is threw the roof, thanks.
The dude in this movie carries on the fine Welcome to the Basement tradition of actors of profound Ryan O'Nealocity.
Miriam Margolyes is a treasure
to quote the hit improvised musical Creeps, Thieves, and Things with Wings: "Satan doesn't have a car. God has a car; it's a really cool car"
😢🙂 I'm just so thankful for this episode. First heard the name Boogaloo from the Fresh Prince stage name for the infamous "jump on it" dance. Now I know about the actual movie character reference!
"Matt and I take lots of pills." We knew, Craig :)
Of all the things to see in this movie, Professor Sprout was truly unexpected.
Doubtless there are James Bond fans out there who will instantly recognize Vladek Sheybal (Mr. Boogalow) from the 1963 film *From Russia With Love* - in which he played Kronsteen, aka SPECTRE Number Five. 😎
Professor Sprout.
I rewatched this just to see the actual actual vampire. Well that and boogulow's dance number
5:17 Hey, don't mess with Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, eh? (Yes, it's a real place)
Menahem Golan also produced Tough Guys Don't Dance!!!
These are the episodes I love. The ones about really weird, bad movies. They are always hilarious to me and your commentary is spectacular.
The landlady was The Spanish Infanta on the first series of Blackadder!
I couldn't place her right away. Thanks!
The clips you shown of The Apple reminds me Rock & Rule with Debbie Harry & Iggy Pop, SEEN IT?
I love this channel!! I love your witty comments !!. ( pulp fiction is my fav movie!!) but i feel i need a new fav movie!.
This was hilarious, thanks for unleashing this madness on us.
I've been waiting three years for you to watch this movie.
That is my exact argument for BIM Hour as well, Matt.
I just found out that the actor who played Dandi (Allan Love) was in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, as the owner of Ruby Tates. They even show a clip of 'The Apple' in the show!
Love your reviews! I don't know if you've ever seen "Phantom of the Paradise" (1974) which is a scifi(?)/futuristic version of the "Phantom of the Opera" story, but I think you would had fun with it.
Wow I'm genuinely shocked that Matt didn't like The Sound of Music. Sure, it's a little too long but it's a fantastic and heart-warming movie.
I saw it on the big screen last year when TCM included it in their Big Screen Classics series. So different from watching it on TV. Some of the best cinematography of any musical film. The location filming of Austria really shines.
Mr. Tops was the Sir Topham Hat of The Apple universe
Loved the Neil from The Young Ones reference.
The Apple seems like it was set in the early days of the Capital from Hunter Games.
Is it possible there is some Aronofsky-esque symbolism (besides the obvious) going on in this picture?
THAT LAND LADY PLAYS THE NANNY IN ROMEO + JULIET I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HER!!!!
And a Young Ones reference! Neil rocks! Man!
I can't wait for the sequel to the Electric Boogaloo joke. We'll call it Electric Boogaloo 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Electric Boogaloo 2: Atomic Boogaloo
Did I just see Jeff Conaway and Roger Daltry flash across the screen, or is it the speed?
3:27, i get it now when he say b well almost sound like bee, Craig sneezed cause he is allergic to bees, that makes sense.
I mean, I do want you to suffer for my amusement, but I want it to be a SURPRISE
@19:21 "Welcome To The Basement 2: Electric Boogaloo"
7:58 Wait, is that Nigel from Top Secret (when he was stranded on the island)? Same hair, same amount of clothing.
Circle Jerks, Golden Shower Of Hits Album Cover - Matt is a Punk Rocker if you haven't figured that out by now. ;)
Have you seen the 1956 film version of the musical "Anything Goes?" It is drastically different from the stage version. I just found out it was also filmed in the 30's with Ethel Merman, but I haven't seen that one.
I think Ethel Merman did a live TV production in the 1950's with Frank Sinatra as well.
Love the Young Ones reference, Nice!
How did this movie get made?
@11:59 - it's the housekeeper turned stepmother from the Schwarzenegger devil movie 'The End of Days' and in that movie she gets a fight scene with Arnie and he tosses her into a glass coffee table and she gets a chunk of glass in her neck. The devil arrives and shoves it in her neck farther to kill her. Fitting end to her crazed character in 'The End of Days'
Matt, you should have been the voice of Darth Vader in “ Vader Immortals” the VR Game.
Those futuristic station wagons look suspiciously similar to the car Homer Simpson designed.
I think that every time I see them.
Concerning The Music Man, the reason why they perform the opening number “Rock Island” as they do is probably hard to come across over film as they have sound effects, but it’s supposed to evoke the train that the salesmen are riding. Hence why there’s a steady rhythm that seems like rapping. But I do agree, the “quaint Americana” seems a bit too cheesy for today. Probably because it’s one of the premiere pop culture depictions of turn-of-the-century Americana, I mean, instrumentals of at least 3 songs from Music Man play in the background at Disney’s Main Street in Magic Kingdom.
Fundamental Suffering For Amusement 2: Electric Boogaloo
i want that transparent suitcase :3
The guy who played Danny went on to open a failed restaurant in the UK, the subject of which was one of Gordon Ramsay's first Kitchen Nightmare episodes.
Didn't the guy who played the devil appear in Smiley's People? If so, he did a very good job in that.
Is it too early to request that Craig dress up as Boogalow for Halloween this year?
I got for you guys a recommendation to a Russian musical called Стиляги (hipsters) in the English version. Its about a sub culture of young people at post Stalin Russia . Very colorful , energetic and interesting piece of history
Have you ever seen "Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw"? I know that I have requested this movie to you before, but I just couldn't help it because the movie is pretty...let's say...entertaining. I recommend it for Cartoon June.
Catherine Mary Stewart is outstanding as the lead in NIGHT OF THE COMET!
Neil made it into the basement!!! I'm (anti) depressed man.
Everyone needs to check out Miriam Margoyles, the landlady in this, being interviewed by Graham Norton ;)
Fun Fact: The actor who played Alfie completely disappeared off the face of the Earth after this film came out. No one seems to know much of who he was or what happened to him after the film came out. He never acted again, doesn't have any presence online, and the only things people know for sure about him is that A) he's Scottish and B) he was in a band at some point. Even his castmates haven't heard from him since 1982. And when they were making a documentary about the history of Cannon Films, nobody knew where he was or was able to track him down.
Rather reminiscent in a way of James Murray, who was leading man in director King Vidor's classic domestic drama from the silent days, 1928's *The Crowd.* (Google the man, and shed a tear.) 🤔 😕
This movie reminded me of Eurovision feels the same a little with tone and meaning weirdly enough. Seen It?
Seen it? Basquiat(1996). David Bowie as Andy Warhol? Michael Wincott is in there as well. Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Benicio Del Toro, Christopher Walken, and Willem Dafoe. I thought it was a great cast and movie. What did you think?
Wallpaper tourism. Now there's a cottage industry.
Seen it? Smoke Signals! Or if you gents want to return to Finland I recommend Heavy Trip!
Its better plans like that Matt that probably led to the sad fate of Winston Wolf now selling insurance on british tv for a company called Direct Line...
"It's all about the w__________" is a running joke in my life about Umbrellas of Cherbourg (which I do find heartbreaking and which is one of my favorite films)... I'm not sure if I'm the first person I know to have said it, and I think I read it in a Time Out NY review for one of the revivals but it is ALL ABOUT THE W___________ -- and I knew what Matt was gonna say -- I said it along with him and pointed knowingly at the screen.
Seen it? Waler Hill's Streets of Fire? Sort of a followup of his to "The Warriors" -- a strange mix of dystopian backdrops, eighties-style music video violence and 40s iconography with a fun and varied cast... the type of movie where you keep saying things like "was that just Ed Begley.... in THIS?"
"FLIGHT of DRAGONS"
The green station wagons in this never fail to make me think of the Homermobile.

Listen, I know I'm very, very late to be commenting on this, but the Music Man is my favorite musical of all time. I had the exact same thought when I had learned to love it in high school: will I love it still that I haven't seen it in over a decade? The answer is yes. Yes, I still love it and how much of a jerk that Harold Hill is and how that librarian is the right kind of sucker for him. It's such a beautiful chemistry that if Craig STILL has not seen it, he should sit down and watch it. Please! And make sure it's not the weird live broadcasted one with Matthew Broderick. I somehow could not stomach it.
I grew up regarding repeated family viewings of The Sound of Music as a form of unmerited punishment.
The Circle Jerks album!!!!!
This new framerate is fun!
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo was produced by Menahem Golan as well!
This is like Phantom of the Paradise, if Phantom of the Paradise was stupid.
That's just it, Craig. It's a horrible movie but the songs were super catchy, they put a lot of work into the sets, costumes, props & choreography & everybody in it looked to be having fun making it. Watch it a few more times & it _will_ become one of your favorite movies.
That's B.I.M. talk, Fleshy.
Hey, hey hey !! BIM's on the way!!
To Menacham
"I was saying Boo-urns"
Via Hans Moleman
The song at 12:30 is ripped off from Donna summers song ‘ wasted’ from her love trilogy album
Mr. Boogalow = Captain Ferriera in Shogun TV movie/series
Dear god this movie mentions Moose Jaw
Dark Corners review did a good review of this
Seen it? Breakin' or Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo?
Would like to point out the actor who plays the hippie leader also plays Mr. Tops.
OMG! Speed did come out in 1994
I think the reason the wouldn't do a tow truck like what Matt suggested was because if it got pulled over, it would get found out. If they cleaned it and got the tow truck, then it could of been easier.
Another reason is that without a tow truck there's no need to bring a tow truck driver/owner into their little cover-up. Having the car scrapped at a junk yard isn't nearly as circumspect, and the woman running the place could more credibly deny knowing that someone was killed in that car, should anyone ever find out and ask her about it.
I LOVE Victor/Victoria and have since the age of 7.
Check out "First a Girl" (1935) it is an earlier version of the same story a jolly good film too
@@kaykutcher2103 Thanks for the tip!
Darkman 2: Electric Boogaloo
Victor Victoria... Is that Glenn or Glennda the musical???
I think the star of this had a restaurant and was on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares in the UK or something
Boogaloo 2: Electric Boogaloo
Hey guys, if you're in the market for another movie that prominently features the name "Bebe" try Deadly Friend directed by Wes Craven.
10 million dollars!
I love Catherine Mary Stuart Elizabeth Masterstrontonio
I feel like I’ve seen the same movie only the version I saw was with cartoon mice
Did Matt make a young ones reference in there?
Hah! I thought that too. Something tells me that Matt is familiar with The Young Ones, Bottom, and probably even Filthy, Rich, and Catflap.
I know how to be a Mastah!
