THRASHIN’ Wednesday Night at Schlafly Bottleworks – Strange Brew!

“You like games, right Valley Boy!”

THRASHIN’  screens Wednesday, July 6th at 8pm Schlafly Bottleworks Restaurant and Bar (7260 Southwest Ave.- at Manchester – Maplewood, MO 63143) as part of Webster University’s Award-Winning Strange Brew Film Series.

You never know what’s brewing at Webster University’s Strange Brew cult film series. It’s always the first Wednesday evening of every month, and they always come up with some cult classic to show while enjoying some good food and great suds. The fun happens at Schlafly Bottleworks Restaurant and Bar in Maplewood (7260 Southwest Ave.- at Manchester – Maplewood, MO 63143).

This month is THRASHIN’ from 1986, which I have never seen, but it sounds like Romeo and Juliet set in the world of skateboarding. Two skateboarding gangs battle each other for supremacy, and a member of one gang falls in love with the sister of his rival. Judging from the trailer, it has a young Josh Brolin, a young Sherilynn Fenn, spandex as far as the eye can see, some hideous love scenes, hardcore skating tournaments, hardcore bikinis, and hard-core Red Hot Chili Pepper pits. What it doesn’t seem to have is tattoos! Where are the tattoos?!? Still, THRASHIN’ certainly looks like a great b-movie from the mid-eighties!

THRASHIN’ launched the careers of many early skateboarders including Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Per Wielander, and many more through cameo appearances. If you have any appreciation for the popularity skating enjoyed in the mid-eighties, you have to see THRASHIN’ when it plays Wednesday evening, July 6th at Schlafly Bottleworks Restaurant and Bar in Maplewood (7260 Southwest Ave.- at Manchester – Maplewood, MO 63143) as part of their Strange Brew film series . The movie starts at 8pm and admission is $5. A yummy variety of food from Schlafly’s kitchen is available as are plenty of pints of their famous home-brewed beer.
