This year at the Austin Film Festival, Jim saw the premiere of a Canadian documentary called "The Rep," about the Toronto Underground Cinema, a repertory theater, in its first year of operation. The screening was held at the Alamo Drafthouse, which has become the global Mecca for rep theaters.
The film was directed by Morgan White, and if you listened to our AFF On the Scene show, http://www.thefilmthugs.com/2012/10/21/austin-film-festival-2012-on-the-scene-with-the-film-thugs/, you know that he is a pretty solid guy.
We've wanted to have him back on the show for a while, and we finally found the perfect topic.
The Ultimate Rep Week.
The rules are simple.
7 Days to program a rep theater. There are no limitations beyond that. Cost is not a problem, rights are not a problem, guests are not a problem. If you want to do a food menu, go for it.
This episode also features Clarkson's long in development first menu for "Fat Assley's," the restaurant he and Jim have been planning for years. This might be the funniest thing we've ever done.
So, check out our programming weeks, and submit your own at thefilmthugs@gmail.com, or at (512) 666-RANT.
We are also in the final weeks of accepting questions for our "Ask the Film Thugs" show. Send questions about ANYTHIG to thugquestions@gmail.com. Hunter Duesing from The Midnight Movie Cowboys will pick the best questions we receive, record them and send them to us. Every question will be heard for the first time on the show and we will answer completely off the cuff. Questions do not have to be film related. We are unofficial life coaches and are happy to help with anything you need help with.
