BAD MOVIE NIGHT: DEADLY PREY - WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 15

Celebrating the very worst that cinema has to offer, Bad Movie Night presents the non-stop face-punching action film DEADLY PREY. Deep in the suburbs of California is a not-very-secret mercenary training camp where recruits learn their trade by hunting down and killing barely armed men that they kidnap from the community. It’s all good clean fun until they randomly kidnap Mike Danton, a military-trained killing machine of absurd proportions. Watch as he dispatches mercenaries left and right, using any means necessary. Without a knife, a stick will do. No stick? Simple: beat a man with his own severed arm. Filmed on a budget equal to a bag of Funyuns, DEADLY PREY packs more inept acting, flubbed lines, and over-the-top 80s action than anyone deserves to endure.

MONTHLY LATE SHOW: THE ROOM - FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 17

An American black comedy about love and passion, betrayal and lies. It depicts the depths of friendship and relationships in one's life and raises life's real and most asked question: "Can you ever really trust anyone?... Called the “best worst movie ever made,” unintentional humor abounds in this new cult favorite, highlighted by a deliriously entertaining albeit undeniably awful performance from its creepy long-haired creator. But despite - or maybe also due to - the miles of cinematic ineptitude, THE ROOM is a one-of-a-kind hilarious blast from beginning to end.
