Pick of the Day: Dishoom Dishoom: A Bollywood Action Comedy Show (in LA) 6/9
While How Did This Get Made? and MST3K have a lot of loud American cinema covered with their comedic riffing, there’s not as much love given in the same regard to international cinema, despite there being plenty of source material. Nearly every Jackie Chan movie in the 90s (especially the ones from China) would be well worth a riff fest.
So, cue in the new live riff fest, Dishoom Dishoom, that will be digging into India’s biggest movie for 2022 RRR, directed S. S. Rajamouli, which might have more ridiculous action sequences than several Nicholas Cage movies. They’ll assemble some of LA’s funniest to watch and see what they can make of a guy kicking a motorcycle to stop it and then catch it while in mid-air amongst other ludicrous slow motion action packed sequences. This month, Meghana Indurti and Mike Falzone will be joining Milan Patel and Neeraj Srinivasan in the internationally flavored ludicrous watch-along.
See just how wild RRR gets with the trailer here.
All of this will be happening at Echo Park’s newest VHS store, Whammy Analog Media on Thurs. Jun. 9th at 8PM PT. Tickets are $10 and you really ought to go snag them here right now (as space is limited).
