FilmOut San Diego's Best of 80's Grind-a-Thon Triple Feature
Co-Presented by Popcorn Reef, Film Geeks, Bonkers Ass Cinema, Femtasia Fest, and Mance Creative
Show Starts at 4:30 PM and runs to approximately 11 PM; Single Admission and All-Access Passes Available
The folks at FilmOut San Diego had a pretty crazy idea a few weeks ago. They wanted to show a bunch of the wildest films of the 80s that explore the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, and they wanted to bring all of the folks in San Diego that do film programming together to help co-present for one epic triple bill. When they asked us to participate, our response was an immediate, "Hell yes!"
Join us for approximately 6 hours of full-blown filth on June 15th, as (everybody!) in San Diego brings CLASS OF 1984, CRIMES OF PASSION, and VICE SQUAD back to the big screen at the Landmark Hillcrest. If you've never seen any of these films before, it's OK, but prepare to feel bad about yourself by the end of the night. You'll be getting a crash course on the best of 80s LA sleaze. Things will arguably get more intense as the night goes on, culminating with Wings Hauser's masterclass performance as a pimp named Ramrod in VICE SQUAD.
On June 15th, school's out, so it's time for a triple feature your parents would definitely not approve of. We'll see you there.
