“If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die historic on the Fury Road!”
St. Louis Shakespeare’s The Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre adapts a cult film into an onstage farce once a year. Previous adaptions have included Plan 9 From Outer Space, Reefer Madness, Glen Or Glenda, Game Of Thrones, Harry Potter, and The Star Wars Trilogy (!!). In 2011 they helped celebrate Vincentennial, the Vincent Price 100th Birthday Celebration with a stage presentation of one of the home town horror star’s classics: The Abominable Dr. Phibes in 3D, a sidesplitting, Pythonesque parody.
This year, those crazy Smoking Monkeys are presenting Mad Max – a spoof of all four of those great Mel Gibson action movies (and that Tom Hardy one). So join Mad Max and a cast of rowdy characters in an epic race for guzzolene, freedom and a better life beyond Thunderdome…in 60 minutes or less. That’S Right!

“I know I had a mental breakdown. I know I had it in an airplane. I know it looks to you as if the same thing is happening again, but it isn’t. I’m sure, it isn’t!”
That gremlin on the wing. William Shatner, the only one who can see it. He’s suffered a breakdown and is on another plane with his pretty wife. She manages to keep him calm for quite a while as he fidgets and twists in his seat. Terrified that the creature is going to bring down the jetliner, Shatner takes a gun from a sleeping policeman! Obviously “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”, this classic Twilight Zone episode, was made way before Tsa regulations that would have required a federal Air Marshal to tackle, subdue, and snap the neck of the on-board troublemaker. This is one of the most famous episodes of “The Zone” and...
