The Doug Benson Movie Interruption
View Past EventsWhen you think “Doug Benson,” what do you think of? Movies (Doug Benson Loves Movies, being his popular podcast); interruptions (The Benson Interruption being his Comedy Central show, based upon his live stand-up-us interruptus at the UCB); and, of course, weed (this is the man who brought us Super High Me, after all). Some or all of these elements are bound to combine at Doug Benson’s Movie Interruption, where Doug and his friends (who, in the past, have included incredibly funny folks like Brian Posehn, Sarah Silverman and Zack Galifianakis) chill on the front row couches, mics in hand, and say whatever hilarious thing pops into their heads while a movie of their choosing unfolds on the screen. And, to make sure everyone knows this is in right spirit — we always invite a cast member from the film to join in the fun! So come check out their epic monthly hangout sesh, where the love of movies and interrupting, and maybe that third thing we can’t remember right this second, will have you chillin’, thrillin’ and rollin’ in the aisles.

MEMBERS-ONLY EVENT: Awards-Watching Party (Interrupted by Doug Benson!)
NOTE: This first-come, first-serve event is for Cinefamily members (plus one guest) ONLY. To sign up for membership, click here! We will also have a membership sign-up station at the box office on the day of the show.
The annual onslaught of film awards telecasts is like a multi-car pileup on the 405 — impossible to ignore, and teeming with celebrity carnage. And, of course, the biggest awards show of them all, the Super Bowl of moviedom, can be a blast in spite of its girth, given the right social setting. So why watch the broadcast streaming on your desktop all by your lonesome, or in some seedy dive where the local reprobates are yammering over the sound of those bizarre musical numbers, when you can catch the whole shebang live at the Cinefamily, on the big screen, with the ULTIMATE reprobate yammering over the ENTIRE SHOW! That’s right: Doug Benson, the King Of Interruption himself, will be at the Cinefamily alongside a selection of his impeccably selected guests chilling on the front row of couches, mics in hand, saying whatever hilarious things that pop into their heads while the awards madness unfolds. Come gossip with Doug & Co. about the gaudy fashions, share in their outrage when they just can’t believe how that film won, and join in their collective hearts being warmed by the underdog sweeping the whole thing when no one expected it!
