Down in Front! Comedians Make Terrible Movies Better

“Mesa of Lost Women” is a 1953 horror film with a very low budget and an even worse plot. Here’s a chance to see it in a unique and hilarious way. Comedians Ian Stuart, Ben Chadwick, Rob Christiansen and a few other special guests will provide running commentary throughout the screening as you meet characters like Dr. Aranya, Doreen Culbertson and especially Tarantella. The trailer for “Mesa of Lost Women” is as campy as it gets, and the entire film, with the comics doing their thing, will likely by an absolute trip.
