DOCUMENTARY DOUBLE FEATURE!
August 16, 2022
Join us Tuesday, August 30th at Minnie’s Bar in Brooklyn for a special presentation featuring two classic short documentaries from the Underground VHS era: “The Wild World of Hasil Adkins” and “Heavy Metal Parking Lot”.
Both these movies, in their own way, capture specific, fringe musical moments that would otherwise have never been documented. They both also happen to be funny as hell.
PLUS! There will be LIVE BURLESQUE by New York City’s own Venatrix!
It’s all part of my free monthly Attack of the 50-Foot Movie event.

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
May 8, 2022
Recently it occurred to me that I have not personally attended a theatrical screening of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW in over a decade. And then it occurred to me that there is most likely a whole generation of younger folks who have never witnessed a live screening of the movie—and all the group antics and smart-ass comments that entails.
On Tuesday, May 31, we’re going to attempt to change all that. My monthly film party, Attack of the 50-Foot Movie, will present a free live screening of Rocky Horror in the back room at Minnie’s Bar in Brooklyn.
Costumes and audience participation are very much encouraged!. Complete details—including some instructions for the Virgins—can be found here.
PLUS: There will be a special LIVE BURLESQUE performance before the show. Details coming soon.

– Hollywood Revue
Join us for a very special psychedelic celebration of this one-of-a-kind rock/drug/art/trash movie on Tuesday, April 19th at Minnie’s Bar in Brooklyn. With a special live burlesque appearance by New York City’s own Clara Coquette. Presented by Attack of the 50-Foot Movie.
JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS
March 8, 2022
ATTACK OF THE 50-FOOT MOVIE—the monthly event where I show cult movies in the back of a bar—continues on Tuesday, March 29, with a special live screening of 2001’s “Josie and the Pussycats”.
This scathing satire disguised as a throwaway bubblegum comedy was a critical and box-office bomb when it came out. But in the decades since, it has only grown more relevant—and gathered a loyal cult following along the way.
As if that’s not enough, we will be opening the show with a special live performance by one of my favorite burlesque performers in the world, the one and only Fem Appeal!
Plus, show up early for Trailer Time, featuring the heaviest collection of girl-band trailers ever assembled in one place!
PLEASE NOTE: This event will start promptly at 7pm.

DOLEMITE!
February 11, 2022
We’re Back!
After a brief hiatus, Attack of the 50-Foot Movie returns to Minnie’s Bar. And we’re back with a bang, courtesy of Rudy Ray Moore’s 1975 classic, Dolemite!
Is this the cheesiest attempt at an action movie ever made? Or is it the lovable rags-to-riches success story of a true outsider auteur who helped pioneer indie filmmaking, singlehandedly challenged a racist film-distribution system, perfected the art of direct marketing, and created an underground cultural phenomenon that would pave the way for modern Hip-Hop culture as we know it? Come out on February 22nd and find out!
But that’s not all!
Opening the show will be The Drag King of Your Dreams, UNCLE FREAK!
Plus, show up early to catch our infamous Trailer Hour, featuring the baddest collection of funky Blaxploitation trailers to be publicly shown since the 1970s!

My latest Attack of the 50-Foot Movie event—where a room full of drunk movie fans gathered to collectively groan at MegaForce in the back of Minnie’s Bar —was a smash success!
Extra special thanks to Tiny D, whose nudie tribute to “Mad Max” brought the house down.

HANK’S SALOON – THE MOVIE
November 10, 2021
Here’s your first peek at my upcoming documentary, “Hank’s Saloon”.
In 2018, I was invited to film this legendary Brooklyn dive bar in the final months before it closed down forever. The resulting film—currently in post-production—is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2022.
