Pop-culture savants John Erler and Joe Parsons (and their many talented guests) are the Alamo Drafthouse's lords of misrule, doing to classic big-screen turkeys or contemporary Hollywood bombast what the Ginsu is famous for doing to hapless foodstuffs, slicing and dicing cinematic spectacles with wit and wackiness that's sorta kinda like the old MST3K done live, with drinking games, audience participation, and a halftime sketch show in which the lanky, baldpated Erler frequently winds up in only his tighty-whities.
