Event Information

For Lieutenant Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell and his friend and co-pilot Nick ‘Goose’ Bradshaw, being accepted into an elite training school for fighter pilots is a dream come true. But a tragedy, as well as personal demons, will threaten Pete’s dreams of becoming an ace pilot.

What Happened?!

Cinemasochists’ What Happened?! series includes a presentation on the making of the chosen film, followed by a live riff performance in the tradition of MST3K. This month as part of Cinemasofest, we’re bringing one of the most successful movies of the 1980s from long before Top Gun: Maverick was a gleam in Tom Cruise’s definitely-just-shorter-than-Anthony-Edwards’ eye…

The presentation will be followed by a screening of the film with a comic commentary by Bess Hayles, Dale Maxfield, and Matt McCann with special guest Tim Marks. Come and enjoy dinner and a show right in the heart of Westport!

Venue

The Westport Bowery is located inside the rear entrance of the Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill. Order your delicious food right inside the venue from your server or our new bar! A live bartender will be on duty so you never have to miss a line just to get another beverage.
