Hey, movie mavens! Tomorrow night it’s “Roll Everything!” as I host “Rustlers’ Rhapsody” at the Uxbridge Senior Citizens Center on Main Street in downtown Uxbridge.
It starts at 5:30 pm with refreshments and trivia prep time.
At 6pm, it’s curtain time for “Rustlers’ Rhapsody,” a wonderful 1985 spoof and homage to those wonderful “B” westerns of our childhood. Surely, you remember the Saturday matinees at your favorite neighborhood theater? You know, where the good guys wore white and the bad guys wore black.
The plots were simple. Good versus evil. Good always won. The heroes had nice outfits. The villains usually wore dirty, ill-fitting garb you could smell from your front row seats as you chowed down popcorn, juji-fruits and hot dogs.
At 7:45 pm, it will be Q&A time as we swap trivia about favorite movies. Maybe the featured film will sharpen your recall of those golden olden days.
“Rustler’s Rhapsody” fondly remembers heroes like Roy and Gene. There’s a nice bit of surprise casting that will leave you smiling. If you know who I’m talking about, mum’s the word.
You’ll find yourself singing along with the wonderful ballad at film’s end that definitely will have you recollecting your days of innocence, lost in the wild west where there was no doubt about law and order.
So, saddle up your cow pony and ride the high country to the Uxbridge Senior Citizens’ Center tomorrow night. We’ll start the show at 7pm. We need your help to smoke out all those bad hombres.
That includes YOU, Pilgrim!

I saw a previous showing at the center. Pretty good, and good company too.

They really enjoyed it. Lots of laughing. A lot of people wanted to know why they’d never seen the movie befofre. Answer: They don’t show it on TV. Like, ever. It really WAS fun 😀

Sounds like a fun evening Garry. I watched the trailer and it was a hoot.

It’s a really funny movie, but it helps to be old enough to have seen those second run features at the local movie houses!

This is hilarious. 🌭 I’ve never seen this movie before. 🍿 It must have slipped away when it came out. What a lovely town. 🌟

I don’t even know if they even showed it in the movies. It may have gone directly to DVD. A pity, because it’s a lovely movie.
