The Return of Spoof N Cinema! The Big Wheel & At War With The Army!

The process of creating Spoof N Cinema is so much fun.
Pure joy.... even when watching the movies is... painful. What could be better than sitting around with your funniest friends joking and laughing along with a terrible old movie. The movies themselves are, lets say.... interesting... because... hey things in the 40's & 50s were a little bit different and weird. Through the process of creating new characters and finding opportunities for music and sound effects, the final Spoof N Cinema process takes shape.

Join us for our next offerings!

The Big Wheel THIS THURSDAY! at 7:30pm only $8
Mickey Rooney is a race car driver struggling to live up to the memory of his father who may or may not have been killed in a racing accident by a "HooDoo Wagon" or an "evil tree" or "booze & broads." Will his achieve his dreams and also find love with the tom boy Lou? Find out all this and more at SPoof N Cinema The Big Wheel

 Then, on Thursday Sept 25th at 7:30pm
 At War With The Army!
Martin & Lewis in a mad cap, musical adventure!

EVERY Spoof N Cinema Showing will have trivia & prizes provided by our friends at Bookmans Entertainment Exchange!
