It’s a Mascot Wedding / Master Pancake Mock-stravaganza!

If you haven’t seen this show yet, hoo boy, you’re missing out on a very fun show. This movie has everything – oily men, feathered mullets, and rock-hard 80s boobs.

And then, this coming Monday, Mac and David are back together with Master Pancake for a very special secret show at the Alamo Drafthouse Village. How secret? So secret that we can’t even tell you what it is! All we can tell you is that it features child stars, a powerful glove, and all 97 games.

Watch us Turn ROAD HOUSE into a Road Home

I used to [friend] guys like you in prison.

Do you hear that? The sound of a man’s throat being ripped out in the moonlight waters of Missouri? That’s ROAD HOUSE, baby. Mascot Wedding is once again joining up with Master Pancake Theater to mock the Patrick Swayze classic, Road House. Road House is the story of Dalton (Swayze), the best damn Cooler in the business. If you don’t know what a Cooler is, it’s middle management at a bar. But when Dalton accepts the job of cleaning up shitty blues-rock bar, the Double Deuce, will he — fucking who gives a shitit’s Road House, man! It’s a logic-defying, late 80s, action movie destined to run on cable TV long after our deaths.

Our first shows were actually last weekend (wewps), but you’ll have plenty more chances to catch John Erler, David, and Mac make fun of one of the most awfulsome movies ever.

Bad news though, there will be no MWS this Saturday due to Road Housin’.

All shows at the downtown Alamo Drafthouse Ritz. Nov 16, 17, 24, and Dec 8. Two shows each night. Tickets and times right here.

MWS Episode 238: All Reference Show

Original air date 10/27/12

“Beat” by Mind Spiders, from the album Meltdown
Closer: “Sweet Lemonade” by Monster Movie, from the album To the Moon
