Fourth Man Out
Thursday, Oct. 1 @ 7:15pm | directed by Andrew Nackman
Just like his pals, twenty-something auto mechanic Adam enjoys beer, hockey and inappropriate bodily functions. But Adam also likes guys. A hilarious mash-up of man-child and coming-out comedies, “Fourth Man Out’ examines a small-town, blue-collar guy who lets his friends know he’s gay - and what happens when they try to help him find a boyfriend. Both rudely funny and daring in its exploration of the kind of gay man we rarely see on the big screen, this bawdy, crowd-pleasing comedy features Chord Overstreet (“Glee”) and Kate Flannery (“The Office”).
Guidance
Thursday, Oct. 8 @ 8:30pm | directed by Pat Mills
You've never met a guidance counselor like David Gold (writer-director-star Pat Mills), whose tequila-centered coping mechanisms raise fellow teachers' eyebrows even as he becomes a dark-horse favorite amongst the high school's angsty student populace. Plagued by his past career as a child actor and in denial of his current health issues (and sexual orientation), David takes on the monumental task of solving teenagers' problems with an unapologetically blunt, fun-loving attitude. Marked by razor-sharp writing and pitch-black humor, Mills's gleefully inappropriate comedy balances outrageousness with a hard look at the path toward self- acceptance.
Web is the New Black
Wallflowers | Where the Bears Are | Three | Ze Said She Said
