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.

"Giving a Razzie to Lawrence Olivier seems like sacrilege." And two episodes later, Sean ended up eating his words.

“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.

Most Questionable Career Move? That sounds like a great category to add to the Golden Raspberries

I give this video two snowballs and a ding dong!

Back in 1980, my mom wanted to sign me up for disco dancing lessons. Luckily she did't follow through on her threat...

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.

"What movie is he going to review tonight, bro?" "Can't Stop the Music. It's a man's movie, bro."

A review series of all the Worst Picture winners? This should be fun.

Somehow you've survived reviewing razzie winners for 3 years now... Sean, I salute you.

Guttenberg: She swallowed 36 Snowballs and Ding-Dongs! Guy from 'Clerks': In a row?!!!

I'm sorry but if they knew what Duvall went through on that picture with Kubrick, they would have NEVER nominated her for worst actress. NEVER.

This was the era of producers doing so much cocaine they green lit classics like Xanadu.

"Can't Stop the Nuts..." Either people were REALLY innocent back in 1980, or Baskin-Robbins fucking KNEW and rolled with it.

Say, Sean. Have you ever considered a crossover with the lovely Diva of Musical Hell? It feels like you two would bounce off each other.

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.

GUYS BREAKING NEWS HE UPLOADED ON A REASONABLE TIME FOR WHERE HE LIVES

Reviewing every Worst Picture winner you haven't already reviewed? Good luck! Also, in honor of the next review, may I just say: No wire hangers!

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.

Man, three years this razzie series is gonna be

"Can't Stop The Nuts." Such innocent times😮

Most questionable career move would be pointless. Nicholas Cage would win every year.

Your reviews are amazing. I'm so glad I found this channel

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

Two years after The Jazz Singer, Olivier did a picture called Inchon. It blew worse. When asked why he did it, Olivier said "Money, dear boy."

Xanadu. Please, almighty smeghead. Pleeeeeeeease. Xanadu.

20:58 If that came out around this time, it would immediately become a meme.

Apparently this was produced by Allan Carr of 'Grease'. Let that sink in.

And then some 30 odd years later Chris Brown released a single called Turn Up the Music, and here I am shouting 'keep it down! I'm trying to sleep!'

Let me guess, the next one is Mommie Dearest?

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.

Didn’t have to wait so long this time! Thanks, Sean!

Are we sure we can't stop the music. Like have we really tried

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.

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!

God Sean, you deserve More subs. Keep it up.

Great work man. I can't wait to see the rest in the series.

How does this channel not have thousands more subscribers?

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!

Thanks for the vid. Always great.

Sean, I think you and I might be roughly around the same age, so I hope we can both agree that the Macarena is a PLAGUE on music.

Interesting idea to continue your show Smeghead. I like it. Also, good luck with Mommie Dearest.

I love this one. While it doesn't hit the depths of The Apple .... it's still a joy to behold. As you were ...

I'm Class of 76. I spent my prime dating years at the Disco. Yes, I was a terrific dancer. But, damn did the music suck hard.

Love it already! Well done my dude :)

No way that it began five years ago. We made it buddy. God, I have been watching your videos much longer than this…

great stuff! thanks!

Okay dude, that was the best intro ever

oh boy, he's going to review leonard part 6

Especially liked Dennis "David London" Fredericksen's "Sound of The City" which was, mysteriously, credited to "The Village People" in the official Spotify release Seems that the veteran session man didn't want that song tarnishing his reputation

Well I can’t say I ever expected this. In the best way possible.

Hilary's America's director's new documentary A Nation's Death currently sits at 1% on Metacritic. Smeghead is gonna have a field day.

Doesn't the music actually need to start to stop .

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!

to be honest, ALL musical movies INTEND to drag on and on.

Speaking of Brian De Palma, the Golden Raspberry ended up nominating him again for “Worst Director” for his 1982 remake of “Scarface.”

Have you seen ‘“The Pirate Movie” with Kristy McNichol & Christopher Atkinson? I think it’s 1980 too

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.

10 year old me: "Dad..."Can't Stop The Music"is on TV tonight...can I watch it?" Dad: "No."

4:34 When you try to reach the minimum word count in an essay.

I hope he gets rid of his wire hangers quick.

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!

Backlash my @ss...disco music was still in heavy rotation in 1980.

Great episode like always :)

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

"Two Snowballs and a Ding Dong." _Laughs in Beavis and Butthead_

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.

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.

It came out the same day as The Blues Brothers.

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.

Except for the soundtrack that Xanadu is a Xana-dont! Oh my!

Oh man, I wish I can join you. And I wonder what film your friend is on her Best Picture Oscars project. Since I'm also doing that myself.

The plot... So the plot... The plot for Kuzco, the plot chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's plot. That plot?

MUST STOP THE MUSIC

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.

They wanted to cash-in with a Disco movie when Disco was already dead. Plus the script was non-existent. No wonder it bombed.

Does anyone know where I can find those Best Picture blogs?

Either I'm super tired, super immature, or a bit of both, that ice cream name made me laugh so hard I cried.

Wait, they made a movie based around the Village People?

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.

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".

Sean "Smeghead" Moore? Yeah, a Red Dwarf fan! Consider yourself saluted, Arnold Rimmer style!

I take 1982? Since 1981 was when Can't Stop the Music Won.

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 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.

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!

yeah! It's 1:30 a.m. in germany, and I happen to have noticed that there's a new episode.

Good luck with the rest. I hope you don't have to re-watch Jack and Jill.

This review is funny as hell !

It would be really cool to see Sean talking about xbox 360 videogames

I'd love to see you review Xanadu.

Please post a link to your friend's blog.

“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.

P.S. My mom has this LP

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"!

LMAO, they tried to sell the Village People as straight?! I don't even know.

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.

Sean mentioned Raise the Titanic? I've seen that movie on TV and read the Clive Cussler book it's based on and, yep, the book is better.
