Milwaukee Record Presents: 'UHF' (1989)
Advertisement
We know you’ve already cleared your calendars for Milwaukee Record’s Weird Al Week, October 12-18. The glorious celebration—tied to Al’s show at Fiserv Forum on October 17— will feature oodles of Al-related website content, plus oodles of Al-related events at Sugar Maple and Wiggle Room. Oh, and it’ll also feature a screening of UHF, October 14 at the Avalon Atmospheric Theater! Tickets to the 7 p.m. screening are on sale NOW.
Will there be an afterparty at Sugar Maple, complete with a Weird Al costume contest? Yes! It’s the reason Milwaukee Record was invented! Be there!
A film that originally tested well with audiences but flopped upon release (it was up against little flicks like Batman, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, and Ghostbusters II), UHF has since gone on to become a bona fide cult classic. And now you’ll be able to experience its zany brilliance on the big screen! Again! (This is the fourth time we’ve screened it lol.) Watch as George Newman (Yankovic) struggles to save a fly-by-night UHF station! Thrill as janitor Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards) takes the world by storm with his firehose-happy Stanley Spadowski’s Clubhouse! Jeer as diabolical Channel 8 owner R.J. Fletcher (Kevin McCarthy) schemes to put George and friends out of business! Recite every single word of the Gandhi II, Conan The Librarian, and Spatula City commercials! Hope you enJOY it!
Previous UHF screenings have sold out, so get those tickets NOW.
