SUMMARY:Nostalgia Night(mare): Deconstructing the Weird Science of Weird Science
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness month\, the Lawrence Arts Center Microcinema is teaming up with the Willow Domestic Violence Center for an interactive screening of Weird Science. A panel of entertaining experts delve into the 1980’s film’s scientific missteps\, toxic masculinity\, and unhealthy relationships with a live panel of experts. Those new to the John Hughes classic will enjoy this concoction of equal parts laughter and cringe while gaining new perspectives. \nThis event is supported by Science on Screen®\, an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre\, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. \nABOUT THE FILM\nTwo unpopular teenagers\, Gary Wallace and Wyatt Donnelly\, fail at all attempts to be accepted by their peers. Their desperation to be liked leads them to design their ideal woman on a computer\, and a freak electrical accident brings her to life in the form of superhuman Lisa. \nABOUT THE PANEL\n \nHost: Adrianne Nuñez\, Associate Director\, External Affairs\, The Willow Domestic Violence Center \nPanelists: \n\nMorgan Johannsen\, Scientist\nFun Facts about Morgan:\n– Chemist and geologist who works with groundwater contaminants\n– One of her favorite pastimes is poking fun at the science in M. Night Shyamalan and other movies\n\n\nFelix Rodriguez\, Director of Equitable Practices and Hiring at The Willow Domestic Violence Center.\nFun Facts about Felix:\n– Knows a lot about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\n– Is hilarious\n– Has only seen Weird Science once years ago and might not watch it ahead of time and just make live commentary as he is actively stunned by all of the misogyny\, racism\, fatfophia\, etc. But also might watch it ahead of time.\nJason Keezer\, Therapist and LCSW at Bert Nash\nFun Facts about Jason:\n– Local comedian\, man about town\n– Key Gen X’r
