Hustle and Bustle to Central Cinema for Brisco County, Jr.
Go west, young geek, go west! Or east. Or south, or whichever direction will get you to Central Cinema on September 30! GeekGirlCon and Central Cinema welcome you to watch two episodes of The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. starting at 7:00 p.m. Be sure to come hungry as a horse, as these tall tales will unfold at a tasty TV Dinner.
Set in 1893, B-movie star Bruce Campbell is at his best as Brisco, a lawyer who becomes a cowboy and bounty hunter after the murder of his father in the series’ pilot. By episode three, “No Man’s Land,” airing at this TV Dinner, he’s gunning and punning like a pro. He inadvertently enters this male-less territory while tracking down what he calls “another reason why inbreeding is a bad idea”: Phil, Will, and Bill Swill, the brothers responsible for the death of his dad. Trouble inevitably brews when men enter this part of the wild wild west run by women, and elements of steampunk and sci-fi start flying. As Brisco ultimately learns, this female-only town may seem futuristic, but it’s all about “a group of people trying to make a better place for themselves — nothing crazy about that.” (Bonus: Denise Crosby, aka Lt. Tasha Yar of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame, appears as the town’s sheriff!)
After a short stretch break, the comedy and commotion continue in “Bounty Hunters’ Convention,” the next episode playing at the theater. This time, Brisco and several other bounty hunters are invited to an innocent-seeming island to “exchange ideas” and “compare notes” about fighting crime. What could possibly go wrong when a group of skilled killers are in an isolated area together? Next thing they know, everything goes all “The Most Dangerous Game”, and fellas are dropping like flies. It’s up to Brisco to lasso all the answers and nab the main murderer in this western whodunnit. Once again combining elements of steampunk, science fiction, and classic cowboy fare — all adding to what Brisco dubs “The Coming Thing” — this episode is a romp for fans of every genre.
Five dollars is all it takes to wrangle both the shows and the vittles! Your ticket also serves as a food voucher to place a dinner order with the server in your section. Yeehaw!
