    Since the fall of 2001, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has been hosting a series of free movie screenings of exploitation classics, especially curated by our own exploitation guru Lars Nilsen: from cheerleaders gone bad to blaxploitation to killer mutant animals to cheesy 80's slashers to women in prison. Many of these films are so obscure that little is known or has been written about them. Some of them are bad, most of them are enjoyable, and a rare few are mind-blowingly amazing. Weird Wednesdays is the vanguard of cinema exploration in Austin. Brave new tasty treats await you every Wednesday at midnight, and, best of all, admission is free!

    Weird Wednesdays are hosted by Lars. Every week he will introduce the movie with a little history and insight. He may even make you laugh until beer or queso fly out of your nose.  I Luv Videos sponsors this weekly event and makes it possible for admission to be free!
