MC Chris has his nerd street cred in spades. He's done voice work for all of your favorite Adult Swim shows and he's toured the country performing his nerdcore rap to thousands of screaming fanboys. But besides that, he knows his 80s movies.
He's been by twice before, with GHOSTBUSTERS and INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, but this time the MC is outdoing himself by hosting the one and only film to feature the kid from E.T. as a daydreaming videogame nerd who realizes that his dad is the only hero he needs, CLOAK & DAGGER. Unlike a lot of the other movies you saw as a kid, you probably haven't rewatched this gem since 1987. That's a shame, if only for the fact that it was filmed in San Antonio and features Henry Thomas shooting at people on the River Walk. Plus they go to that other Alamo for a key kidnapping scene! And there's a creepy lady with two fingers missing! And they have to play an Atari game to help save us from a national security emergency!
If you miss this you might as well hang up your pocket protector forever and go join the football team, cause no self-respecting nerd could possibly stay away.
The show is Thursday, July 26, at midnight at South Lamar. Advance tickets are still available right here.
