Palouse Cult Film Revival: The Room An Interactive Screening

In an era before posting intentionally aggressively, awful memes (aka shitposting) became so prevalent that even presidential candidates do it, there was joy to be found in a sincere movie being so awful that it looped back around to being entertaining. It’s essentially the premise that Mystery Science Theater 3000 was founded upon — having a blast ragging on a film for fun. But only one film provided so much fodder that it became a cult classic: The Room. Writer/director/star Tommy Wiseau’s romantic drama is so bizarre and stilted that it has to be seen to be believed, but it’s now reached Rocky Horror Picture Show levels of cult adoration, with signature moments becoming chances for audience interaction (spoons! footballs!). Palouse Cult Film Revival closes out its current slate with an interactive screening of The Room at the Kenworthy followed by a wrap/dance party.
