Road House is 1989's uproariously macho zen-judo bouncer drama starring Patrick Swayze, as a legendary badass who "lives like a loner, fights like a professional, and loves like there's no tomorrow,” as the film's original tagline put it. A howling tornado of punching fists, bouncing boobs, and brutally stupid dialogue, Road House is a perfect match for David Schmader, the Seattle-based writer and performer with a deep affinity for gloriously awful cinema.In addition to curating and hosting the film series "From Bad to Worse: A Guided Tour of Cinematic Terribleness" and "Almost Human: Madonna on Film" at Seattle's Central Cinema, Schmader's toured the country with his critically acclaimed "annotated screening" of Paul Verhoeven's ridiculous stripper drama Showgirls, and provided the commentary track for the best-selling Showgirls DVD. On Wednesday, August 26, Schmader will host a screening of the mighty Road House—or as Schmader calls it, "Showgirls for boys"—at the Triple Door. Join us for a night of drunken screaming at a craptastic American classic.
