“Oh, hai Shark!”

Join us at the Rio Theatre on Thursday, August 21 with host Greg Sestero – star of the pop-culture phenomenon THE ROOM and author of the best-selling memoir, THE DISASTER ARTIST – for a double billing of Tommy Wiseau‘s debut feature followed by his sophomore effort, BIG SHARK. Who better to explain Wiseau’s latest opus (and the enigma himself!) than Greg Sestero? It’s a night of movies, insight, conversation and laughs. (And… merch! There will be sweet, sweet merch.)

Auteur Tommy Wiseau (whose 2003 pop-culture phenomenon THE ROOM ranks among the greatest cult-movie films of all time) finally returns to the cinematic landscape with another tasty morsel made especially for his legion of hungry movie-loving fans: BIG SHARK.

For the uninitiated: A marvel of modern cinema, Tommy Wiseau‘s THE ROOM is so powerful that it will, literally, “tear you apart.” (Or, maybe just your brain. And occasionally your eyeballs.) In the pantheon of you-gotta-see-it-to-believe-it, best-worst movies, it’s quite possible that nothing tops THE ROOM. It’s the CITIZEN KANE of bad movies! And truly, truly, the best (trust!) way to experience this “masterpiece” is in the dark, on the big screen, and with a packed audience of confused (and enthused) lovers of director Wiseau’s bizarre cinematic oddity that has morphed into a pop-culture phenomenon. Having Sestero (who parlayed his portrayal of “Mark” in THE ROOM into an acclaimed best-seller that was ultimately adapted into the 2017 feature, THE DISASTER ARTIST) on-hand to answer audience questions and provide unique insight makes for a very, very memorable night.
