'Bad Meaning Good' Friday, March 13 2009 
"Bad Meaning Good" A night of obscure and off-beat cult favorites from the glory days of trash cinema. So... DJ Intel and I have launched a new event called 'Bad Meaning Good' and our very first installment of this party will go down on Monday April 6th at The Burlington in Chicago. If all goes as planned, the night will remain a monthly event (on the first Monday of each month) that will feature a double-billing of movies so impossibly bad that they somehow complete the full cycle of shittiness and become good in the process (hence the title "Bad Meaning Good"). Each event will involve a thematic connection between its respective two films and what better way to kick off the whole shebang than with a dedication to the singularly spectacular talents of wrestling superstar and Canadian national treasure "Rowdy" Roddy Piper? The double-threat that is 'Hell Comes To Frogtown' and 'They Live' struck us as such a mind-blowingly ridiculous and laughably awesome potential double feature that we had to make this thing come alive on the strength of this individual idea alone. It deserves to be noted though that the two of us are bad movie enthusiasts of the highest order and in preparation for the programming to come, we've created an epic master list of atrocious films for future consideration. In other words, each installment of the event promises to grow increasingly ludicrous and those in Chicago with a taste for sublimely ridiculous film will now have a new monthly party to frequent which will remain unapologetically ambitious in its all-encompassing stupidity. As for the movies themselves... Showing first (8-10): "In the radioactive wasteland of the future, Sam Hell is one of the last fertile men on the planet. A female organization intent on repopulating kidnaps Sam and sends him on a deadly mission to rescue - and impregnate - a group of beautiful women held captive by the violent bipedal amphibian leader of Frogtown. Will Sam and his "loaded weapon" survive the mission?" Second Screening (10-12): "They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. THEY LIVE. A rugged loner stumbles upon a terrifying discovery: ghoulish creatures are masquerading as humans while they lull the public into submission through subliminal advertising messages. Only specially made sunglasses make the deadly truth visible. Is it too late for our hero to save humanity?" ... Sounds amazing, right? The two of us will then close out the night with a tag-team DJ set from midnight to close. Not convinced yet? The whole thing will be free of charge at the door! That's two landmark entries in the pantheon of shitty film available completely free of charge... One might wonder what more a person could possibly ask for within one Monday night's worth of entertainment. More info to come... Post Comment Comments
