THRILL-O-TRONIC FILM SHOW, EL CERRITO, AUGUST 4

We will soil the beautiful Cerrito Speakeasy Theatre with the aforementioned matinee this Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

I get asked what our "themes" are in these programs (and ask myself, "you mean, we have themes?"). Well, here goes. . .

• non-union actors in cardboard robot suits



• non-union actors dressed as aliens



• non-union actors dressed as gorilla suits



• trailers from horrid movies



• calypso music



• swing music



• early rock music



• showgirls



• car, cigarette and theatre snack bar commercials



• any film we can find with unsubtle double entendres



• surreal and psychedelic 1930's cartoons



• 1950's "duck and cover" films



• "educational" films that went horribly, dreadfully wrong



• anything that provokes the response "what were they thinking?"



• general mayhem and political incorrectness



• and, yes, showgirls

I think that's a start. See you there.
