On last summer’s Rolling Roadshow Tour, we were initially scheduled to play FRIDAY for free at a park in the neighborhood featured in the fi lm, but the city of Los Angeles was concerned about the neighborhood’s children hearing too many bad words. To appease the civil servants of the city, we had our good friend Buzz Moran put together a dubbed version where all of the fucks and shits and friends were replaced with the most ridiculous censor voices possible. We thought we were making a statement for the freedom of speech. We had no idea that we were also creating an entirely new level of comedy. Holy Jeezy Shiggles!
Location: Alamo Downtown
Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.

Ice Cube’s beloved stoner day-in-the-life comedy is more than just Dazed And Confused for black people, or the movie that gave the world Chris Tucker (gee, thanks!): It’s also a fascinating case study in how many different ways the words “fuck” and “shit” can be used without losing all meaning. (See also: The Wire.) On a recent Rolling Roadshow screening at the movie’s filming location, the city of Los Angeles requested that the potty language be taken out to protect the virgin ears of neighboring children, so Alamo Drafthouse owners Tim and Karrie League contacted good friend and Foley artist Buzz Moran to overdub the film and unwittingly struck comedy gold: Turns out the film is twice as funny with its mouth washed out. Come see for yourself at this special High For The Holidays screening that even your uptight, still-lingering relatives can enjoy. (Also Dec. 30)
