108. Can't Stop the Music with special guest Jackson Cooper

It's like Spice World for the Village People. We watched Can't Stop the Music (1980) with our friend Jackson Cooper and we want to stay at the YMCA! Producer Allan Carr was at the top of his game after the success of Grease (1978) and the next story bursting forth was the pseudo-biography of disco's greatest novelty act - the Village People.  This movie takes place in a theme park version of Manhattan where go-go boys roam the streets in a full Native American headdress, a man can roller skate down 5th avenue without being actively murdered and a leatherman can belt out "Danny Boy" standing on a piano and not be the weirdest thing in the room.  The filmmakers missed the mark when they predicted disco to be the sound the 80's would be remembered for, but they wisely called multi-million dollar marketing campaigns backed by big-milk. Can't Stop the Music tops our list of "best worst movies" for its utter watchability - not to mention he full frontal male nudity in a PG movie. Come for Steve Guttenberg looking like a whole a$s snack, stay for the Village People serving the whole meal!
