LBK AuditoriumEnjoy a movie with some funny commentary.
Do you love movies and making fun of them? Or, rather, laughing at other, funnier people making fun of them? Then you would love Rifftrax. Brought to you by the guys & gals behind Mystery Science Theater 3000, Rifftrax makes. movies. better. They combine the jokes of MST3K with the blockbuster success of movies not in the common domain but that need to be mocked. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and prepare to laugh.
This month's movie is 2019's Cats.
You demanded it. you monsters, and now it’s here: CATS! The film adaptation of the musical that clumped up Broadway’s litter box for eighteen years, riffed for your viewing pleasure.
It’s the movie that launched a thousand "digital butthole" jokes. You’ve probably seen some images, skimmed some memes, but nothing really prepares you for the full experience of CATS itself. It’s rare a movie can make you feel sorry for so many respected major actors, and also James Corden. Thrill as these stars of stage and screen struggle to sing through digital faces that slide out of place like Snapchat filters!
It’s almost certainly the first T.S. Eliot adaptation we’ve ever done (not counting Suburban Sasquatch, an odd turn in his career). Its legacy will be trivia questions like, “What’s the only movie to feature Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Jason Derulo, and Taylor Swift?” But before that, its legacy is to be riffed by Mike, Kevin, and Bill! Join them for CATS, and finally learn the difference between Jellicle Cats and Gumbie Cats.*
