Sometimes Bill Fishman's TAPEHEADS feels like the ugly stepchild in the filmographies of John Cusack and Tim Robbins, but there's no compelling reason that the 1988 flick doesn't have a huge cult following. The tale of two losers who enter the music video industry, the flick is clever in its goofiness, features an amazingly bizarre cast (Clu Gulager! Susan Tyrrell! Lyle Alzado!) and some outstanding music. And also this, the lead duo's first project, an attempt to re-imagine a chicken and waffle establishment that appeared in regular rotation back in the days when The Comedy Channel was basically anarchy.
When's the last time you watched King Cotton hawking waffles? Well, that's too long, it oughta be unlawful.
