Bowl Cuts is your favorite comedian’s favorite… three-ring circus, one part live roast, one part indie film showcase, and 27 parts old-school late-night comedy.

Indie filmmakers (you know, the kids who made the bowl cut cool through junior high) submit their earliest work to be live roasted before getting the chance to showcase work they’re actually proud of. You, the audience, get to laugh, cry, shoot chocolate milk through your nose, and even roast the show itself.

Actually, It Is Rocket Science is the newest chapter in TGR’s ongoing study of the fall line, told through the world’s best skiers as they turn the mountain into a laboratory and every descent into an experiment.

The study spans Bute Inlet, British Columbia; Haines, Alaska; Japan; Finland; Andorra; Montana; Jay Peak, Vermont; and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Different mountains, snowpacks, conditions, and approaches—but the same forces are always at work: speed, gravity, instinct, and consequence.

Actually, It Is Rocket Science is a tongue-in-cheek look at the seemingly reckless abandon that many of the world's best snow athletes display as they push the physics of what is possible. Athletes explore the intricacies of dissecting a big mountain line, the physics and amplitude of a massive gap, calculating transition, and the force of gravity.

So, is it rocket science—or is it not?

Watch closely and decide for yourself. Don't miss a screening on Tuesday, October 27 at the River Oaks Theatre. Tickets and showtimes available at our website - link in our bio.

ROCO Connections returns to the River Oaks Theatre on Friday, October 23 with a spooky celebration of silent film and live music! Led by guest conductor and composer Andrew Earle Simpson, the program features film scores performed by a live chamber ensemble, alongside the 1925 horror classic The Phantom of the Opera and Disney’s The Skeleton Dance.

With a new score for The Phantom of the Opera composed by Simpson, audiences will experience the magic of early cinema and one of film history’s most iconic thrillers in a vibrant, reimagined format. Also featured is a new arrangement of Carl Stalling's score for The Skeleton Dance and an entr’acte performance of Bohuslav Martinů’s La revue de cuisine. This one-night-only event is a must for “spooky season” enthusiasts, film buffs, music lovers, and anyone looking for a fun night out!
