Guilty Pleasures: The Apple

from Guilty Pleasures Hosted by Stephanie Malone

Hey, hey, hey, a wild ride is on the way with this episode of Guilty Pleasures! Join Stephanie, Jack, and Kelly as they take a bite out of the bizarre and bewildering 1980 musical oddity,The Apple. Set in a dystopian 1994 where the music industry reigns supreme, this film is a kaleidoscope of disco, biblical allegories, and questionable songwriting that gives your hosts plenty to talk about... but is any of it GOOD? Kelly and Jack share their reactions to the film's outrageous fashion choices, perplexing character arcs, and uncomfortable moments. Meanwhile, Stephanie tries to defend the film against an onslaught of abuse, but can she make a compelling case thatThe Apple is so bad it's good and not just plain BAD? The conversation is peppered with laughter, debate, and disbelief as the trio navigates through the film's ridiculous musical numbers, including the infamous "BIM" anthem that will stick in your head long after the episode ends. But if you're anything like Jack and Kelly, that may inspire more rage than respect. Join the Guilty Pleasures Crew as they grapple with the absurdity ofThe Apple and try to get to the core of the matter, deciding if it's a guilty pleasure worth revisiting or a cinematic disaster best left forgotten. Is "The Apple" an actual, actual, actual trainwreck?
