the adventures of Kevin Maher, writer-comedian
After the success of FRANKENSTEIN Night! I wanted to do a video that captured some of the fun-facts from that show.
Thanks to BODIES: The Exhibition, they were really generous — and they gave me that shirt, which made for a good movie reference. (2-in-1, really.)
Honestly, this Wednesday’s The Sci Fi Screening Room is the best yet.
Co-host Raven Snook and I are excited to do this show.
We’re joined by specials guests Eric Drysdale (The Colbert Report)

Kevin Maher is a Brooklyn-based writer-producer.
This blog is a place to watch various videos he’s made for HBO, CNN and American Movie Classics. Plus independent comedy videos.
This Christmas season, The Sci Fi Screening Room is giving you our best show yet:
an evening of songs and scenes from the best Sci Fi Musicals.
Raven Snook returns to co-host this collection of clips from the Golden Age of Cult Musicals. We’ll run the gammet from Phantom of the Paradise to Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. Join us as we celebrate the most mind-boggling numbers from campy favorites such as Forbidden Zone (1980) and Xanadu (1980), to lesser-know films like the Alan Arkin superhero parody The Return of Captain Invincible (1983) and Grease-meets-Swamp Thing oddity Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1987).
No, there’s no plans to make Cormac McCarthy’s novel into a new F/X mini-series. I’m just messin’ with ya. But here are some actual TV shows inspired by movies. (Beyond Westworld not included.)
Here’s a clip of that awful Wizard of Oz cartoon.
I finally made it to Lebowski Fest! And all it took was a paper-think premise.
Big shout-out to Will Russell, the co-founding Dude. You will not find a cooler organizer in these United States.
Here’s a fun episode we taped at MARS 2112, with special guests St. John Frizell and Miss Saturn.
I discovered a ton of science-fiction inspired cocktails. I hope to one day publish them as a book (ironic for a guy who doesn’t drink.)
BIGFOOT Night! was really awesome, thanks for everyone who came out or supported in other ways. M. Sweeney Lawless programmed a great evening with videos, drawings, eyewitness accounts and some laugh-out-loud TV and movie clips, including The Legend of Boggy Creek, Bigfoot & Wildboy and The Six Million Dollar Man.
And get this — the show was reviwed by
Scientific American(!)
We didn’t get much footage from the show, but here’s the part of the show where I encouraged the audience to take out their camera-phones to get photographic evidence of a Bigfoot.
