In a 2007 episode of Scrubs, J.D. (Zach Braff) and Chris (Donald Faison) discuss the stereotype of black families yelling at movie screens. Many people don’t want talking of any kind in theaters, while others just go with the flow. Comedian Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show, Night Train) and comedic MC Donwill have been enjoying the concept at their monthly “Shouting at the Screen” events, which are back in town, taking place at the new Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn. On November 10 and 17, Cenac and Donwill will “re-create the magic of Magic Johnson theaters” in a kind of alternative MST3K while watching blaxploitation and black cult films. There will also be trivia questions and drinking games. Be prepared to shout along with everyone else, conventional cinema etiquette be damned.
