MTV, which, as of December 31st of last year, put the kibosh on its last remaining 24-hour music video channels, has long been known for its content outside of music.
From its cartoon division, with shows like Beavis and Butt-Head, to even a bunch of shows you've likely forgotten about, such as Wonder Showzen, MTV definitely had no short supply when it came to properties they could use for a feature-length film. So why, in the name of all that is holy, did they choose a 1992 short film about cockroaches as the base of their first film? I don’t know, but 1996’s Joe’s Apartment was that movie, and it’s quite the head-scratcher, even today.
