For this Friday Movie Night, we’re starting off with the cult classic sci-fi The Man Who Stole the Sun (1979), concerning a nerdy Japanese teacher who decides to build a nuclear bomb to extort the government into allowing The Rolling Stones to play in Japan. Jokerification ensues. The director, Kazuhiko Hasegawa, directed only one other, lesser-known film; he is a one-hit wonder. Great reviews for this one, so let’s check it out. After that is Bound (1996), the Wachowskis’ highly-regarded directorial debut, concerning a pair of ladies who decide to be gay and do crime while framing shitty men. Chicks Rock: The Crime Thriller. Looks cool; let’s watch.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here:
