Listeners of our Tuning in to SciFi TV and Saturday B Movie Reel podcasts know that every year I attend Dragon Con. Back in 2011 we started doing our annual “Scifi Drive-In Theater” movie screenings as part of the American Sci-fi and Fantasy Media track.
That first year we screened Sharktopus and Joe Crowe, from RevolutionSF.com, and I did some MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000) inspired riffing during the movie. In 2012 we screened Mega Python vs Gatoroid and last year we screened Super Shark.
What do all these films have in common? They are a blast to watch with a crowd of fans!
We draw some great all ages crowds where folks get to have a lot of fun by cheering on the heroes/creatures and booing the villains! You can view several photos from our 2012 event here and from our 2013 event here. A BIG thank you to Jenn Geoppinger for sharing these photos.
For 2014 we have another fun movie planned as we’ll be screening and riffing Mega Piranha. Here’s the description…
Join Special Agent Finch (Paul Logan), Professor Sarah Monroe (Tiffany) and Bob Grady (Barry Williams aka Greg Brady from The Brady Bunch) as a mutant strain of giant ferocious piranha escape from the Amazon and eat their way toward Florida. Featuring explosive set pieces, stunning special effects and the most fearsome marine monsters in the history of film. Prepare for the ultimate bite-sized blockbusting thrill-ride that will leave you desperately hanging onto the edge of your seat.
So make your plans now to join us at Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA over Labor Day weekend. This event will take place on Friday evening August 29, 2014. Exact time and location will be announced in the coming weeks.
