Mike White, editor of the awesome cult cinema book Impossibly Funky, will be criss-crossing New England and Canada from May 27 to June 4 for a rip-roaring book tour that will include readings, signings, plus screenings of some of his favorite films.
The action begins on May 27 at Manhattan’s famed 92YTribeca with a startling double feature of Miami Blues and Shock Treatment. Miami Blues, the 1990 film starring Alec Baldwin, is based on a novel by Charles Willeford, one of White’s favorite writers and the subject of a chapter in Impossibly Funky. Shock Treatment is the oft-overlooked sequel to the ultimate Midnight Movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The tour will then make stops in Schenectady, NY; Montreal, QC; Huntington, NY; Brooklyn, NY and Boston, Ma before concluding on June 4 at the Cable Car Cinema in Providence, Ri with a screening of Black Shampoo, the 1976 blaxploitation picture that has served as major obsession for White.
