This April, The Deuce gets stoopid in the spirit of 4/20 with everyone’s favorite Mexican American and (fake) Beaner in CHEECH AND CHONG’S NEXT MOVIE! The follow-up to their feature debut finds the doobie-duo outta work, outta their minds, and even outta this world! Wallowing in welfare and wanton debauchery!!

With Chong taking over the directorial reins – a directionless dive into rambling, ramshackle, anarchic whacked-out-ness – who needs plot when you’ve got so much pot?!? Crass and creative… with a little help from friends Paul Reubens, Michael Winslow, and an energetic Edie McGlurg! Pass the… “popcorn” with your buds at The Deuce when we take you on a trip to the 1980 haze-filled halls of Times Square’s Harris Theatre for this joint!

Starring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Ricardo Montalban, George Takai

Swoon in June – with The Deuce – to the big-daddy sci-fi of STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN! A role-model rhapsody of revenge! Aging Enterprisers square off against Ricardo (“rich Corinthian leather”) Montlaban’s villainous Khan in a fight that could be the finish of the Final Frontier as we know it! Tempers and blood-pressures rise! Sparks fly! Tears are shed! Aging and the Mortality of Man and the Individual are mulled!

Brooding and boisterously delivered in just the way you want your Star Treks to be… and “someone” dies… Let The Deuce warp you back to 1982’s New Amsterdam Theatre for this Shakespearean battle beyond the stars – a doozy!!  “It is very cold in Space…”

Starring: Lawrence Tierney, John Amplas, Melanie Verlin, Robin Walsh, David Marchick

Lonesome autumnal roads and loathsome small-town small-mindedness… lite-FM soft-rock anthems and… madness!!

With Romero’s ‘Martin’ – Jon Amplas – as one of the maniac “cops”! Re-live the moment when MIDNIGHT struck the screen on 42nd Street at the Liberty Theatre with The Deuce!! “You’re on your own…”

When a group of girls, all outsiders in their own way, come together to kick the ass of a teacher who has been targeting and sexually violating students, their unfair suspension solidifies a bond that has them posting up in an abandoned house, helping each other out, and just generally being goofs. There’s Maddie (Hedy Burress), the artistic one, who rollerblades through the school halls with her Polaroid camera; Rita (Jenny Lewis), the shy one who has trouble standing up for herself; Goldie (Jenny Shimizu), the tomboy with a drug problem; Violet (Sarah Rosenberg), the “easy” one; and then Legs (Angelina Jolie), the alluring stranger who ignites them all. Strengthening their connection through car rides blasting L7 and stick-and-poke tattoos, they create their own space and rescue each other from potential self-destruction. Foxfire is a rare depiction of teen girl friendship, and Jolie as Legs is an instant icon.

Starring: Hidetoshi Nishijima, Toko Miura, Reika Kirishima

Two years after his wife’s unexpected death, Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), a renowned stage actor and director, receives an offer to direct a production of Uncle Vanya at a theater festival in Hiroshima. There, he meets Misaki Watari (Toko Miura), a taciturn young woman assigned by the festival to chauffeur him in his beloved red Saab 900. As the production’s premiere approaches, tensions mount amongst the cast and crew, not least between Yusuke and Koji Takatsuki, a handsome TV star who shares an unwelcome connection to Yusuke’s late wife. Forced to confront painful truths raised from his past, Yusuke begins — with the help of his driver — to face the haunting mysteries his wife left behind.

Adapted from Haruki Murakami’s short story, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car is a haunting road movie traveling a path of love, loss, acceptance, and peace. Winner of three prizes at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, including Best Screenplay.

Starring: Melvin Van Peebles, Simon Chuckster, Hubert Scales, John Dullaghan

Sweet Sweetback (Melvin Van Peebles) is a black orphan who, having grown up in a brothel, now works there as part of a sex show. When the police need a patsy for a murder in the black community, Sweetback’s employer gives him up to two white cops, whom Sweetback ends up killing. Suddenly the target of a massive manhunt, he decides to flee to Mexico. As he makes his way there, he is captured by, and escapes from, both the cops and a chapter of the Hell’s Angels.

Starring: Tom Berenger, Bob Hoskins, Greta Scacchi, Joanne Whalley, Corbin Bernsen, Theodore Bikel

When a horrific cliff-plummeting car accident leaves him disfigured and amnesia-struck, Dan Merrick (Tom Berenger) relies on his wife Judith (Greta Scacchi) to fill in the gaps of his life. With devotion she shows him all, including how to make love, and by all appearances they’ve reinvigorated a strong, if slightly stale, marriage. But when flashes of memory including gunfire and a whole lotta crashing waves begin to seep in, and evidence of infidelity is undeniable, Dan has to question what was really going on before his memory slipped.

Saying too much about Shattered would spoil the fun of the surprises in store for you, so we’ll just mention that Bob Hoskins shows up as a pet store owner/private investigator in a cozy sweater cuddling a diapered pup, and it just keeps getting more unhinged from there.
