THE STRANGE UNIVERSE TINY FILM FESTIVAL: Strange Universe have teamed up with The Hollywood to throw a tiny film festival. Each of us (Reuben Bonner and Cuillin Hearty of Banished Music, and Matthew Crawley of Strange News) has picked our favourite film, and we’ve asked Billie from Hollywood Avondale to pick hers too. This week it's Matthews choice."This Weird Al Yankovic movie is the greatest of all time. Fight me!" - Matthew
Fact: In the last several decades of our cultural history, no one has provided more laughter and sheer, unbridled fun than "Weird Al" Yankovic. Al's humble beginnings as a brilliant song parodist have led to platinum albums, three Grammy Awards, countless international tours and media appearances, and – last but not least – the most hilarious movie to ever bust mankind's collective gut: UHF!
In 1989, funny bones were splintered by the millions in this insane cinematic assault on TV and everything else, starring Al as a hard-luck entertainment warrior taking on an evil corporate overlord! Along for the ride is a spazztacular assortment of '80s/'90s comedy luminaries, taking uproarious swipes at everything from RAMBO to GANDHI! It's the only movie that will make you laugh until your skull falls off.
COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm
