See Hear Podcast Episode 93 - Voyage of the Rock Aliens

Would you be tempted to watch a film where aliens travel around in
a space ship in the shape of a Flying V looking for the source of
rock and roll in the universe? How about if it involved a high
school romance, a battle of the bands, escaped mental patients
armed to the teeth, and a polluted lake? Tim, Bernie, Maurice and
friend of the show Paul Ryan have done just that.....and had a
conversation about it for your aural pleasure. Welcome to episode
93 of See Hear Podcast. Voyage Of The Rock Aliens is a forgotten
musical from 1984, made in an era when instead of the MGM musicals
of yesteryear, we were presented with Can't Stop The Music and The
Apple. Like many musicals from the 70s and 80s, Voyage combines
fantastical elements with popular music....at least what was
popular in the mid 80s....so synths, Linn drums, big hair and space
costumes are the order of business here. Did we mention that
Jermaine Jackson appears in the opening minutes of this film for NO
REASON AT ALL???? When aliens are looking for where rock and roll
music is in the universe, they're going to trace it to a town
called Speelburgh (ho ho ho) where they hear techno music being
sung by Pia Zadora....because, yeah.... The film attempts to be a
parody of several different styles of film making – is it
successful? Download the episode and we'll tell you. Our gratitude
to Paul for bringing this suggestion to the show and joining us to
discuss it. As Bernie said, “Thanks a bunch, Paul”. You can find
