STRANGE BREW (1983) w/ SCTV pre-show @ 6 pm
January 30, 2026 : 7:00 pm – 8:45 pm
“ONE OF THE BEST CANADIAN COMEDIES OF ALL TIME! As genuine in its affection for its working-class dimwits as it is ambitious in its cinematic surrealism, Strange Brew leaves you with the best kind of hangover.” – The Globe and Mail
Before “Wayne’s World” there was “Great White North” with Bob and Doug McKenzie. A public access parody from legendary sketch comedy show SCTV, the wildly popular recurring sketch featured Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas as the lovably dopey, Molson-swilling McKenzie brothers, drunkenly riffing on all manner of Canadiana. The sketch spawned a best-selling album and STRANGE BREW, a feature-length comedy that maintains a rabid cult following thanks to its smart-dumb improv antics, outlandish sci-fi B-movie tone, and a bizarre plot inspired by, of all things, Hamlet. Written and directed by Moranis and Thomas, STRANGE BREW features an evil brewmeister played by Max Von Sydow, mind-controlled hockey-playing stormtroopers, and a flying wiener dog named Hosehead. Silly, surreal, and sweet-natured, STRANGE BREW has lost none of its charm over the decades.
Plus, come out early for an SCTV pre-show starting at 6 pm!
