Down and Dirty

     This week- a pair of comedies.

     When two high schools are consolidated a senior, Alan Musgrave, dedicates his life to making sure a new schoolmate, Barbara Ann Greene, gets everything she desires. From sweaters to matricide, Alan is happy to oblige. A buckshot satire of 1960s pop culture directed by one of the era's best comedy writers, Lord Love a Duck.
     When two con men, Lawrence Jamieson and Freddy Benson, find themselves at odds with each other, they settle it the only way they can- with elaborate schemes in a race to be the first to relieve an heiress of $50,000. From royals in exile to grannies desperate for an operation, Lawrence and Freddy are happy to steal from the rich and give to themselves. A 1980s comedy classic from a group of absolute legends writing and directing, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
     All that and Craig swears the fire alarm has chirped its last, Kevin finds a light to brighten up the noir, Tyler double dips in public, and Dave finds a nice quiet corner to read. Join us, won't you?
