Behold the Origin of Apple in the Prequel to ‘Turbo Kid’!
One of my favorite movies of 2015 was the delightfully charming Turbo Kid (review), which followed the story of “The Kid” and his new friend Apple as they traverse the wasteland, dealing with some truly despicable folk who like to make sure your insides appear on the outside!
The appearance of Apple comes seemingly out of nowhere and her origins are never fully realized, leaving the audience to wonder where she came from and why she is the way she is. While there don’t seem to be answers for the latter, the former has sorta been addressed by the latest video from Le Matos, who composed the score for the film!
Directed by RKSS, “No Tomorrow” is essentially a short film about Apple (played once again by the delightful Laurence Leboeuf) and how she got to meet “The Kid”. Full of violence, gore, and post-apocalyptic visuals, it doesn’t lose the charm set by the film, ultimately creating a delightful video that put a huge smile on my face!

‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ Celebrates 60 Years with Limited Zoetrope Vinyl Release
A Halloween classic turns 60 this October, and Craft Recordings is celebrating with a special limited edition vinyl release for Peanuts special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”.
Arriving August 7 and available to pre-order today, this anniversary reissue comes pressed on an eye-catching 45 RPM zoetrope LP, featuring memorable scenes from the special on each side, plus a new essay from Sean Mendelson.
Get a peek at the cool new release below.
The release features Vince Guaraldi‘s jazzy score, including favorites like “The Great Pumpkin Waltz,” “Graveyard Theme,” and, of course, the iconic “Linus and Lucy.”
After its first official release in 2018 and rerelease upon the discovery of the original master tapes in 2022, the soundtrack returns to vinyl in its entirety, alongside a selection of rare outtakes.
If the zoetrope LP isn’t enticing enough, look for a variety of limited-edition Halloween treats that can be found at exclusive retail partners, including an Orange 4-inch Tiny Vinyl (Target) available starting July 17, featuring “The Great Pumpkin Waltz” on Side A and “Graveyard Theme” on Side B.
