DESTROY ALL MOVIES!!!!
Co-Presented by the Alamo Draft House

$10 DOUBLE FEATURE OF SUPER RARE RAGERS!
A full-on meltdown from Destroy All Movies!!!: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film, the massive new book from Fantagraphics! From mohawked wasteoids to adolecent gutter superstars, this double feature punk movie showcase (plus extras!) of teenage ragers are all on 35mm!! Presented by the book's editors and Alamo Drafthouse programmers, Zack Carlson & Bryan Connolly, and preceded by a punks-on-film clip show assembled by EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE.

SURF II -- This greatest-mohawked-zombie-comedy-ever-made is best summarized on the back of its VHS box: “Menlo Schwartzer - the geekiest mad scientist of all - wants to rid the world of surfers by transforming them into garbage-ingesting zombie punks! But no way dude can he stop their most awesome party!” No, there was not a Surf I. The most entertaining IQ-remover The Video Age ever shat out! Not on DVD. Dir. Randall M. Badat, 35mm, 91 min. USA, 1984. 8:00pm ONLY

TIMES SQUARE – Two girls run away from a mental institution and form The Sleaze Sisters, becoming a hit with the city's disillusioned youth. One of the first teen movies to feature predominantly punk and new wave music, Time Square captures the essence of post-'70s New York. Soundtrack by Gary Numan, Roxy Music, The Ramones, Talking Heads & more! Dir: Allan Moyle, 35mm, 111 min. USA, 1980. 6:00pm, 9:45pm
