A Rival to Plan 9?

The Gline reviews a "Sci-Fi Musical" called The Apple

The Apple had me laughing hysterically all the way through. It’s a love letter to the stylistic excess of that time, only it’s been penned by illiterates with terrible handwriting. It’s an awful movie, to be sure, but it’s never boring, if only because they find something absolutely stupefying to point the camera at in every second of film. And as bad as the movie is, it actually manages to point its satire in the right direction and even feels weirdly timely—that is, when it’s not burning your eyes out with some of the most horrific production design since the Star Wars Holiday Special. Shock Cinema described it as "Can't Stop the Music meets Logan’s Run", two other Seventies artifacts guaranteed to clear the room in seconds.

Sounds like it has all the makings of a cult classic.
