This show plays in
Austin, TX at the
Alamo Drafthouse downtown every spring. It's usually quite an experience, and by intermission has almost certainly degenerated into raucous alcohol-induced
1 shouting and laughing. The show at the Alamo is fully
MC'ed by one of the staff members, and includes audience participation via yelling and games involving a large inflatable
penis and an
inflatable sex doll. Most years, one gets to see a range of cartoon
animation,
claymation, and
CG work. Favorites include
No Neck Joe and
Beyond Grampa, and special treats like
Radioactive Crotch Man,
Angry Kid by
Nick Park (of
Wallace and Grommit fame),
and the magical animation of
Don Hertzfeld who brought us the child-beating
Billy's Balloon, the gut-wrenching
Rejected and the too-true-to-life
L'Amour.
1. The Alamo serves beer, unlike most cinemas in the
US.
