Remember when sleepovers meant watching movies and tearing them up with your friends? When film etiquette disappeared and turned into a game? When the classics were quote-fests and competitions to see who could drink the most soda and stay up the latest?
The Raspberry Brothers bring you back to those halcyon times. Except now, a spontaneous drinking game is just as likely as a soda competition. Their repertoire has ripped apart the films we remember loving from our youth, films that defined the 1980s, including Top Gun, Karate Kid, Dirty Dancing, Flashdance, Footloose, Terminator, Red Dawn, and Xanadu.
So get ready to laugh, 'cause the Raspberry Brothers have come armed with the flicks that give you that so-bad-it's-good feeling we all secretly love. Just be careful not to choke on your popcorn. It’s not just a movie; it’s a party!
At this screening of Lost Boys, we'll make a Halloween cheesecake. Start with a vampire-as-metaphor-for-puberty plot, add a dozen mullets, two Coreys, a dash of Kiefer Sutherland hamming it up, and one kick-ass soundtrack. Set oven temperature to 1987, let bake for 20 years and you've got a heaping plate of Lost Boys. Here, maggots are perfectly edible, Bill from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a low-ranking vampire crony, and Jason Patrick floats around his bedroom. Chelsea Cinemas invites you to morph into high-flying, merry-go-riding, living-dead teenagers. Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. Some blood sucking required.
