CCC Movie Roasts Available for Download

Filed under: Announcements, Entertainment, Movie Roasting, News

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.

Laughing ‘Can Help You Lose Weight’

Filed under: Announcements, Entertainment, News

Laughter is healthy.

Laughter is healthy.

Screw the gym, come see CounterClockwise Comedy perform. You’ll literally laugh your ass off. :-)

From The Telegraph:

Laughing intensely for an hour can burn as many calories as lifting weight for 30 minutes, scientists have found.

Laughter gives the body a “mini aerobic workout”, they believe.

It causes the heart to beat faster, sending larger amounts of blood around the body.

Laughing out loud also makes the chest rise and fall, which in turn means that stomach muscles have to work harder, which can help to tighten them.

The act of laughing can even help the skin, by using up to 15 facial muscles, helping to give the face a work out.

Laughing can also bolster the immune system, aiding the body to fight off infections like coughs and colds.

      9:30 PM - Saturday, April 10th
    • 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...

      @Screenland Theatre in The Crossroads
      9:30 PM - Friday, May 21st
      9:30 PM - Saturday, May 22nd
    • 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!
