I'm not sure I'd categorize this as 'cultless'. Nelvana animation from the 80s had that weird Canadian vibe that a lot of people latched onto, myself included. I grew up with this stuff, and fondly recall their tv specials like Witch's Night Out and A Cosmic Christmas. It was welcome relief considering the chum bucket of sameness that made up most of the commercialized animation being churned out during the 80s. I've watched this one several times because there's just so much to love about it. The animation is gorgeous and the music just makes it. I unironically adore 'My Name is Mok', written and performed by Lou Reed. I will admit it was only just now that I understood Ohmtown to mean hometown. A bit slow on the uptake. Anyway, I really enjoyed your presentation. Great insights and your comedic timing is spot on. There's a slew of reviewers out there with tons of subscribers who don't understand how to use humor well.
I am happy to be counted amongst those who is familiar with this flick, having seen it an indeterminate number of times, but timeS (plural) nonetheless. As to its quality, I can only speak for myself but I enjoy it. As is my personal custom, the first channel I encounter covering a piece of obscure media that even the obscure media discourse overlooks, I am left no choice but to autosubscribe to your channel. Well met!
A definitely underrated clasic! Also, a whole host of big name musical talent. Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Earth Wind and Fire. The soundtrack alone makes this a must watch. The DVD commentary offers up considerable information about this film. One that surprised me was that I assumed the part with Ohmar performing near the beginning, jumping and sliding on stage, I assumed it was rotoscope. NO! The director insists they did no rotoscope anywhere in the film. And yes, Moc is intended to resemble Mick Jagger.
To echo your commendable work here in directing attention to works one often finds have gone shamefully unnoticed even by folks like us with a passion for obscure/niche media, I offer a movie recommendation. This is one of those flicks that I always prescribe be first seen as did I, knowing nothing but the title. If you can find a way to watch it, I beg you, please treat yourself to watching "Hard Core Logo." I NEED someone else to talk to about this great movie.

Oh thank Lemmy, I thought I was alone in my enjoyment of Mok's take on the familiar trope of the "reveling in my villainy" song.
In terms of artstyle, this film is like an adult take on the Goofy Movie lmao
I had forgotten I’d seen this when I was a kid.
ROCK N RULE BABY
I actually disagree that this hasn't found its cult, it just isn't in the places you've looked I think.
We could certainly use more members 😆
I saw that movie on TV by accident when I was a kid. then spend years looking for it until I finally found a DVD of it and I cherish it
a detail about Omar singing along side is that he knows the lyrics perfectly. implying that for all of his protest about her song, he still learned it
Never seen it, but I am familiar with it.
