Twilight Movie Roast Poster

In horror movies, real vampires don’t sparkle, and whiney vapid girls are meant for snacking not loving. So “Hold on tight, spidermonkey!” (Actual movie dialogue.) It’s an evening of fresh-roasted puppy-love schmaltz that is going to take this teen/just-pre-menopausal melodrama sensation to all new heights!

CCC Movie Roasts Available for Download

Hey gang. We’ve gone and acquired a Riff Trax account, so we can upload our commentary and you guys can download it online. So far, we have our Jurassic Park and Top Gun movie roasts uploaded.

Check out the Top Gun Preview above with Erik, Bess and I doing a little roasting. If you want to download the audio track off the CounterClockwise Comedy account at RiffTrax.com, it’s $1.99. Then you just play it alongside your copy of the movie, a la Pink Floyd and The Wizard of OZ (but with less psychedelics and more laughter). There are detailed instructions in the track itself of where to sync it up with the movie. Let us know how you like it and check out the preview above.

East Independence Rotary: Mission Accomplished

Filed under: Entertainment, Found Funny, Kansas City, Pets

We just got done with a very short private gig at the East Independence Rotary Club. Awesome crowd, early show. We went on at about 7:40am in a conference room at the Hilton Garden Inn in Independence. We only had until 8:ooam to play, but it was a lot of fun.We managed to squeeze in 3 games; we had 5 ready because I wasn’t sure how much time we’d have. Hopefully we get a private gig or two out of it. That was a fun crowd to play for. Everyone was really complimentary and we handed out a few business cards.

Rotary clubs are local service organizations that span the world. The Independence club website is here: East Independence Rotary Club. It’s pretty sparse right now, but they’re in the middle of a remodel. Keep an eye on their website in the future if you’re looking for a way to help out the comunity in Independence!
