This month, Bad Movie Night will be screening a ’70s sci-fi classic that almost defies description – but they provided us with one just for fun: “If you gave a million dollars to a bunch of hippie, first-year acting students and told them to make a movie, Zardoz would be the result! As such, it contains a lot of ‘Big Ideas,’ weird-as-fuck performances, and wonderfully gratuitous nudity. Watching this half-baked wreckage is practically a hypnotic experience, and the WTF moments keep piling up until you’re completely buried in a monstrous, cinematic fever dream. Plus! Sean Connery is dressed in what looks like a big red diaper for almost the entire movie… except, you know, when he randomly shows up wearing a wedding dress (!) midway through.” Sounds amazing, no? Admission is FREE.
