Tonight's Stinker: Voyage of the Rock Aliens(1984)

Tonight's Stinker Voyage of the Rock Aliens(1984) https://youtu.be/ZWvnIWBsFS0?si=Wu0hduB6ynqL1iGW Some aliens are supposed to be doing anthropology heard rock & roll and decided to find it.... We sit through a Jermaine Jackson video, then a robot wakes the crew up, & they head for Earth... On Earth, we watch Pia Zadora lip sync through a musical number... Then her boyfriend shows up, who wants to be the only rock star in town, as well as the town bully, & his band is the town gang... The aliens land in town, & when the leader sees Pia, his head explodes... The crew takes him back to the ship & put him back together during another musical number.... Ruth Gordon plays a corny sheriff, and there's a subplot with Michael Berryman as an escaped serial killer... A musical with a soundtrack that's mostly '80s synth pop, with one or two attempts at rockabilly & a passable tribute to DEVO... Lots of musical numbers, with a few attempts at sketch comedy to pad the time, But I really didn't chuckle until about forty minutes in, with the actual humor being quick one liners...
