It’s time for the finished cut of Tommy Wiseau’s Big Shark to be unleashed on Orange County! As an added bonus, we’ll be throwing it on a double feature with his 2003 cult classic The Room! And if that all weren’t enough, star of The Room and best-selling author of The Disaster Artist, Greg Sestero, is joining us for all the fun to introduce both films in person!

First up, you know the drill! Bust out those plastic spoons! Wiseau’s peerless magnum opus finds the auteur who shaped a generation taking on the arts of acting, writing, casting, directing, editing and more. What’s even more remarkable: he’s mastered them all. The multi-talented director stars as Johnny, a big-time banker working in gorgeously shot San Francisco. His fiancée Lisa, seemingly a happy part of a successful relationship, has wandering eyes…for Tommy’s best friend Mark. Cinema has never witnessed such betrayal!

And then finally…the Big Shark arrives here at The Frida Cinema, with only a mysterious tagline attached to it: three firefighters must save New Orleans from a gigantic shark. That’s it! Don’t miss this awesome double feature on the big screen with a packed house!

Come one, come all to an evening of voodoo, vampires, revenge, and bloody burlesque as The Frida Cinema is teaming up with Peepshow Menagerie and Anastasia & Richard Elfman to present a ghoulish double feature extravaganza of 1990’s Frankenhooker and 2024’s Bloody Bridget! 

Frankenhooker: A grief stricken med student builds the perfect woman from dead prostitutes…then discovers his resurrected bride has a killer mind of her own.

Bloody Bridget: Richard Elflman’s wild, soon to be released, vampire burlesque horror/comedy. “Sucking blood only whets her appetite, she must eat their beating hearts!”

Make sure to get there early for the first feature, as we have the Peepshow Menagerie pre-show, a burlesque performance from Pinky Petite as Frankenhooker, AND as an introduction for the film by Fangoria writer Pat Jankiewicz!

And then, after Frankenhooker and a brief intermission, there will be live music by Richard Elfman and his band as well as a very special burlesque act by Anastasia Elfman!

And finally, after both films, there will be a very special Q&A with Anastasia & Richard Elfman!

The Frida Cinema welcomes back Richard Elfman’s unforgettable midnight movie Forbidden Zone!

When a suburban family discovers a portal beneath their home, they’re swept into a surreal underground world packed with musical numbers, bizarre royalty, outrageous comedy, and unforgettable creatures in one of the most audacious cult films ever put on screen.

Get there early, as there will be a special pre-show dance number by the incredible Anastasia Elfman as well as some other special surprises TBA!
