I know the poster is ultra-classy, but honestly we’re roasting a movie about a whore falling in love with a guy who has enough cheddar to rent her out for the week, so who cares? And for the record, we know the “gerbilling” thing (disturbing text behind that link) isn’t true; doesn’t mean it’s not hilarious.
What if Cinderella was a whore? Wouldn’t that be sweet? Well it really was sweet in 1990! The ho was Julia Roberts and she met this piggie-eyed guy who had enough money to rent her out for the WHOLE WEEK. You’ll have to see what happens after that. Why not see it with us as we tear this paper-thin plot premise to shreds! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wish Julia Roberts wasn’t so flat-chested.
Disco trash never looked so good! Come see what happened to John Travolta after The Boy in the Plastic Bubble in his coming out breakout role. He’ll dance the night away and you’ll laugh your ass off in this modern day fairy tale about a boy and his mirror ball. Movie Roast: Saturday Night Fever

Braaaaaaaaaiiiiiiins… This month, the weekend before Halloween, we’re taking it back to the old school (’cause we’re so cool) with the zombie flick that wrote the modern day walking-dead canon. CounterClockwsie Comedy is roasting Night of The Living Dead.
We’ll also be hosting a costume contest before the show! So get all scary-fied, come out and laugh your face off…
Skip getting mugged at haunted houses in the west bottoms and come have a laugh and a drink with us as we shred the zombie film that started it all. Who says a politically subversive gore-fest can’t be laugh-out-loud hilarious?

An August movie roast? Sounds like we’ll be all wet… on a stage… with a chair… dancing like we’ve never danced before. Come join us as we destroy yet another pop culture icon. There’s an 80’s dance party before the show. Come in 80’s or workout gear (leg warmers, spandex, neon bike shorts, etc…) and get drink discounts at the bar. We certainly will.
She’s dancing like she’s never danced before! …or will again. Come watch as this maniacal strip-teasing mistress gets rode hard and put up wet by the CounterClockwise Comedy team.

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.
Beat the heat with CCC as we lampoon that childhood standby, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Cold beers and cocktails will be served all night along with hearty belly laughs. Stay tuned for a preview…
Help CounterClockwise Comedy send the creepy/cute little monster back where he came from. Follow the trail of Reese’s Pieces to one hilariously good time as we slowly destroy your precious family-movie memories.

Apparently, Alan Scherstuhl of The Pitch, stopped by the Jurrasic Park roast and squeezed in a review of the show amongst his regular Kansas-City’s sole-reviewer-of-improv duties. We were glad to have him, and it sounds like he had a blast. Now, if we can only get him to one of our actual improv shows.
I’ve reproduced the buried-in-another-story blurb here. Hit the link at the bottom of this post for the full monty.
Before the Trip Fives’ solo set, I left Westport for the Screenland Theatre, at 17th Street and Washington, to catch CounterClockwise Comedy’s live roast of Jurassic Park. Before a packed house, the movie screened: Dinosaurs romped, and Sam Neill gaped upward in empty Spielbergian wonder. In row one, the CounterClockwise Comedy crew picked cruelly at the film’s bones. They unleashed a wild stream of jokes, from dumb puns to feminist film criticism to suggestions we take a drink every time Spielberg worked Laura Dern’s ass into the shot. Wayne Knight’s plus-sized floral shirt got called “a Holiday Inn comforter”; the interminable first tour of the dinosaur park was compared, at hilarious length, with the animal-less expanses of the Kansas City Zoo.
Come to an island fantasy-land. A land where CCC can finally speak up for a group that has been denied a voice far too long- Velociraptors! Clever girl…

Now look: a debatable lazy-eye and a speech impediment is no way to judge whether or not someone can kill you in a fight and Stallone proves it in this 80's action masterpiece. Witness the birth of a legend all over again as we do anything but contain the mess that is John Rambo's life. He was just another drifter who broke the law! Sentenced to 93 minutes of hard roasting, son, them's the brakes...

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!
