One of my favorite pastimes


It may seem cheezy (like my favorite "Space Channel" movie show, sci-fi great 'Mystery Science Theatre') and it may not be "South Park" or "Ali G.", but it is truly entertaining and stimulating -- and as far as I know, it may be just another trendy cable show -- but watching Off Beat Cinema is one of my long-time, favorite past-times. And yes, they do show movies like the all-time great , O. Welles' The Third Man.

For coffee lovers, and for old-timey-flick fans, this show is a must:
'Off Beat Cinema is a two hour hosted movie show that airs on television stations throughout North America, featuring the finest in cult movies, movies that MUST be shown, "the Good, the Bad, the Foreign"...
In each episode, Maxwell Truth--along with his beatnik buddy Bird the painter, and the lovely Zelda--discuss the movies they show, and the proper coffee to consume while watching these flicks. Each week they're joined by whacked-out friends and top national music acts as they guzzle espresso and talk flicks.
Movies range from horrific thrillers like "Night of the Living Dead" and Orson Welles in the "Third Man," to Pia Zadora's film debut in "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and everything in between.'
