Review:
Meatloaf’s first starring cinematic role was in this oddball indie flick (directed by Alan Rudolph) covering plenty of territory, including nonchalant rock stars:

… virginal groupies:

… redneck Texans:

… and a steampunk-adjacent “we’ll fix anything” salvage company run by Meatloaf’s dad (Art Carney). Meatloaf doesn’t sing, but he is subjected to various random “brainlock” episodes which make no sense whatsoever (until, possibly, the very final scene).

The film’s most notable presence is kooky Hunter, who is determined to meet and sleep with her idol, Alice (in Chains).

Carney doesn’t have much to do, but seems perfectly fine embodying his character’s can-do, don’t-give-a-damn attitude.

Music lovers might also get a kick out of how Meatloaf solves various sound tech challenges along the way (one involving literal b.s.); however, this isn’t must-see viewing except for diehard fans of Meatloaf, Rudolph, or one of the rock stars featured here.

Notable Performances, Qualities, and Moments:

• A resolutely quirky air throughout
  
  

Must See?
No; you can skip this one unless you’re curious.
