Joe's Apartment (1996)
With Jerry O'Connell, Megan Ward, Jim Turner, Sandra Denton, Robert Vaughn, David Huddleston, Don Ho, Moby
Directed by John Payson
Joe's Apartment is a 1996 American musical black comedy film written and directed by John Payson (in his feature directorial debut), based on his 1992 short film of the same name, and starring Jerry O'Connell and Megan Ward. The main focus of the story is the fact that, unbeknownst to many humans, cockroaches can talk, but prefer not to, as humans "smush first and ask questions later". They also sing and even have their own public-access television cable TV channel. Actors providing the roaches' voices included Billy West (in his feature film debut), Jim Turner, Rick Aviles (in his final film role), Tim Blake Nelson, BD Wong, and Dave Chappelle.
