Kentucky Fried Movie - 8:00pm
It's difficult to craft a superlative boob joke for the ages -- but Kentucky Fried Movie has no such problems. Right before the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker birthed the seminal spoof Airplane, and right before director John Landis helmed Animal House, together they unleased this raunchy sketch comedy smorgasbord, happily inundating the social lexicon with a furious assault of blatently offensive hilarity. Spiked with a one-two punch of Monty Python-style irreverence and a relentless, precocious go-for-broke audacity, this R-rated romp sends up the wide range of kooky American entertainment culture, from drive-in movies to cloying TV commercials, from unnerving 16mm educational films to insipid morning news programs, smothered in a healthy dose of fun cameos by the likes of Bill Bixby, Henry Gibson and Donald Sutherland (doing an inspired classic bit of messy slapstick). But don't take our word for it -- there’s a reason why Kentucky Fried Movie is one of the most successful comedies of its time. Just remember: the popcorn you are eating has been pissed in.
Dir. John Landis, 1977, 35mm, 90 min.

Amazon Women On The Moon - 10:00pm
Long considered a classic in the spoof genre, Amazon Women On The Moon is the star-studded unofficial sequel to Kentucky Fried Movie, and may even be just a little bit funnier -- although that's for you guys to fight it out over in the lobby. John Landis, Joe Dante and friends tag-team directed this sketch comedy paean to that most time-honored American pastime -- channel surfing -- and are aided by a laundry list of familiar faces like Michelle Pheiffer, Griffin Dunne, David Alan Grier, Carrie Fisher and Arsenio Hall (who steals the show with a pretty phenomenal extended sequence of prodigious slapstick). Written by a duo of "Tonight Show" scribes, AWOTM is as loving a portrait of time-worn late night viewing as one can get; worth the admission alone is the "Roast Your Loved One" funeral parlor sketch, directed by Dante and featuring the cream of the crop of the Friars Club/Dean Martin roast circuit. If that thought of seeing Rip Taylor on the big screen isn't enough to get you riled up, then good luck to you -- as Harvey Pitnik says, "You're an albno, what the hell do you know?"
Dirs. Joe Dante, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton, John Landis & Robert K. Weiss, 1987, 35mm, 82 min.
