This month, Obsolete Cinema returns to its annual salute to an autumnal rite of passage - in a time when nothing can be taken for granted. It’s Back to School!
It’s the ‘dog days’ of summer in the waning days of the endemic Capitalist empire - so let us entertain you! This month we showcase two 1970s existentialist ‘horror’ films pitting man against his wheels. We know Elon’s ‘all-in’ for driverless technology but we humbly suggest he watch these first. Gas prices aren’t the only thing to fear!
This month, we’re ‘wild and crazy guys’ as we bring you two yukky VHS romps from the unbeatable comedy team of Carl Reiner and Steve Martin. One’s a body-switch deal, the other a brain-switcheroo. See what we did there? Good.
We’re back! (Again). Join us May 22 as we jump back into the fray with both feet in the deep end to pay tribute to the one and only Chris Walken.
This month we look at two ‘flawed-but-fascinating’ VHS visions from unique directors adapting classic fantasy and science-fiction tomes – before Hollywood began chasing its own tail in big-money CG-IP reboots.
We’re back! After a restful winter hibernation, the buddies of Obsolete Cinema are back and ready with a VHS double feature action slam about our favorite odd couples. Get ready to share the love – buddy love!
City living is tough, right? Rents are high, the subway’s a mess, and there are slashers EVERYWHERE. This October we dive deep into two Urban Hellscapes for some good ol’ American Carnage -- on VHS, of course!
This month, whether you asked for it or not, we present our tribute to the ‘Divine Miss M.’ with two laff-filled tales sprung from the ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Feckless.’
We’re kicking out the summer jams with a pair of beloved ‘80s blockbusters in living VHS that wouldn’t be half-as-entertaining without the contributions of peerless German synth ace composer Harold Faltermeyer.
Like a fine fortified wine, our yearly ShatShow just gets stronger with age. This month we again unleash a double-helping of our tortured thespian muse running the gamut from the steamy to the tasteless to the morbid to the sublime (but always sweaty).
In a world where the government must reluctantly ban candy-flavored carcinogen vapor, we thought it was a great time to examine rampant American corporate consumerism and the rampant greatness it has wrought. You know - for kids!
We’re crashing into the next decade of Obsolete Cinema in a way that just seems right: 2 slam-bang VHS classics from the Dutch master of futuristic slam-bang satire Paul Verhoeven that hit like a gut-punch right in the hate-handles of our corpo-fascist present. It can’t happen here?
This month, as another dumb decade swirls down the drain, we at Obsolete pause to reflect and contemplate the very nature of this inexorable white-water raft ride of existence - time. In our stories we have sought to define, control and defy it - yet still it is our master. Also - where are the hovercraft we were promised? (Drones don’t count.)
The ‘salt mines’ – the ‘daily grind’ – the ‘WiFi café’ - the shit. Whatever you call it, it’s a large part of most of our daily life and the life of our minds (unless you’re rich – get in touch!) This month Obsolete Cinema goes to work with two timeless looks at the lives of ‘working professionals.’
The Obsolete Devoted may recall the Great Projector Fail of October 2018, which resulted in cancellation of our hell-on-wheels double helping of the brothers Sheen/Estevez. Never one to let the machines win, in 2019 we return to the Back Room to take on the terror! Behold: HALLOW-SHEEN REDUX!
Hey kids – whatta-you wanna be when you ‘grow up’? Well this month you might say it’s ‘Career Day’ at Obsolete Cinema. Only one thing – these grown-ups just want to get back to school! Join us when we find out what happens when two guys (a stockbroker & a cop) trade in their 401K for a hall pass for the noble purpose of nailing the baddies.
It’s August – time to get out that bad-ass headband, kick out the jams, and rev up your dystopian hogs! There’s no better way to escape the dog daze in the city then to lose yourself in these two ludicrous Mad Max-‘inspired’ rip-roaring rip-offs. Trust us – stuff will blow up real good.
What’s the time, Obsolete Posse? It’s time to get ILL. This month OC kicks it OG-style with the classic East / West Hip-Hop sagas BREAKIN’ 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO (1984) and KRUSH GROOVE (1985)!
All kidding aside, it’s summer now & time to pull an Olly! This month we catch massive air in two breezy ‘boarder bro’ movies from the ‘80s!
The ‘salt mines’ – the ‘daily grind’ – the ‘WiFi café’ - the shit. Whatever you call it, it’s a large part of most of our daily life and the life of our minds (unless you’re rich – get in touch!) This month Obsolete Cinema goes to work with two timeless looks at the lives of ‘working professionals.’
It’s Spring, and as we thaw out our tootsies, OC is rolling out a pair of two-dollar bin treats for you - the faithful. We even rewound!
Can you believe it? We have followed our muse along the winding, weedy trail to this, the seventh annual installment of ShatShow. So how low can we go? Let’s find out!
We know. It’s February - maybe you’re getting a little case of cabin fever, turning just a little bit crazy. But ask yourself - are you Nicolas Cage crazy? Come judge for yourself as we present our second annual ‘Cage Match’ double-feature with Nic at his off-the-rails best.
Got a case of the mid-winter blahs? We have just the thing – so click your heels together three times and repeat ‘There’s no place like Freddy’s!’ This month we revisit the land of Dorothy and the Wizard – a land called Oz!
Feeling more Charlie Brown than Linus this holiday season? We got you. This month, our stocking is overstuffed with a triple threat of VHS cheer sure to make your Grinch heart grow three sizes.
It’s October, so be afraid — be VERY afraid. This month we present a hell-on-wheels double helping of brotherly mayhem so malicious it will leave you... #winning! Terror, thy name is SHEEN! (Also Estevez.)
Yes it’s that time again – so grab yer book-bags and jean-jackets (and be sure to get yer stash from that sewed-in-pocket) – it’s our Back to (Cutting) School show!
This August we present a double-whammy of killer whale / killer shark ham-fisted aquatic adventures, skippered by classically-cured British hams Richard Harris and Michael Caine. Don a red cap if you like, matey - we’re heading for uncharted waters - ARRRH!
The weather’s hotter and the days are longer — time for some Summer Action! This month we celebrate our favorite international action hero, star of screen and VHS, the Muscles from Brussels himself, Jean-Claude Van Damme, in a double vision double feature for the ages!
This month we salute one of our most precious and reliable Canadian imports: funny-man Martin Short. Every generation gets the Jerry Lewis it deserves, and from SCTV/SNL days to the present, ‘Marty’ has provided a wealth of laughs for a society sorely in need.
The movies you think you remember on a format you can't forget. Free double features every month in Brooklyn.
