Master Pancake Theater, Austin's premiere comedy troupe, is returning to Houston for two sure-to-sell-out shows. Watch as they perform live commentary over THE BREAKFAST CLUB - gently (and sometimes not so gently) mocking John Hughes' classic film.

We're bringing our BIG LEBOWSKI Quote-Along back to the Houston Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas in September for two encore screenings. Don't miss all the action from The Action Pack as we provide you with props, sub-titles and pre-movie games to maximize your movie watching experience. 

Before the word spoof was considered dirty, Mel Brooks was mastering the art of mockery. Join us for two very special screenings of his classic 1987 comedy SPACEBALLS — programed by those masters of interactive cinema, The Action Pack.

Don't hate us because we're popular. Love us because we're screening a special 35mm presentation of MEAN GIRLS this month. We promise to leave the Kalteen Bars off the menu. 

Forget Charlie Sheen. We're paying tribute to his much more cooler brother Emilio Estevez with a special one-night only screening of REPO MAN, that blissfully weird '80s pop punk masterpiece directed by Alex Cox. We're teaming up with Cactus Music and Houston's first and last punk band The Hates for an event you do not want to miss out on.

Filmmaker/raconteur Kevin Smith is returning to the Alamo Drafthouse in Houston this weekend and he's bringing along comedian Ralph Garman for a special live taping of their podcast Hollywood Babble-On. In addition, the director will be offering up a special advanced screening of his new film RED STATE, a thrilling take on extreme fundamentalism gone south. Tickets are on sale for both events but they are going fast.
