WYRD WAR WEDNESDAY!

Wyrd War presents a very special night at the theater with legendary filmmaker Brian Trenchard-Smith! DEAD END DRIVE-IN (1986) is cult “Ozploitation” auteur Brian Trenchard-Smith’s neon-drenched dystopian satire that pits an unlikely cast of new wave punks against a future fascist state in a race for freedom! After the economic collapse of Australia, police forces lure society’s unemployable youth into decadent drive-in movie theaters that turn out to be…concentration camps! Featuring the amazing car stunts of MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR veteran Guy Norris, DEAD END DRIVE-IN is a high-octane whirlwind of stylized violence and wry commentary on vapid 80s pop culture values. Brian Trenchard-Smith will be signing copies of his new memoir Adventures in the B Movie Trade before the film while supplies last! This private event sold out in 24 hours...so hopefully you already reserved your seat! See you next Wednesday!

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the opening of TERMINAL ZONE: Cinematic Visions of The End at the Wyrd War gallery this weekend! Special thanks to the Wyrd War Crew for standing beside me and making the day absolutely perfect. Very special thanks to legendary filmmaker Brian Trenchard-Smith for joining us at the end of the world. He is the kindest, smartest, humblest and most charming filmmaker I have ever had the pleasure of bumping with a codpiece while screaming, "ALL DEVIANTS REPORT TO CENTER COMPOUND!" All photos by the indomitable A.K. Wilson. To the death...

TERMINAL ZONE: Cinematic Visions of the End

CITIZENS OF SLAVE SHIP EARTH: PREPARE TO ENTER TERMINAL ZONE AT WYRD WAR HEADQUARTERS. SATURDAY JUNE 5, 2021. 6:00PM - 10:00PM. NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY. 

For as long as humans have huddled together around primal fires, we have grimly prophesied the end of our world. It is almost symptomatic of civilization itself to fixate on the anxiety of our impending collective demise. Every major religion around the world espouses its own harrowing mythos of the End Times, Armageddon, Final Hour, Ragnarök, Day of Judgement, Rapture. However, none of these epic belief systems can compare to the coked out, mafia money laundering cinematic visions of our dark dystopian future as depicted by the film industry during the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. Teeming with rank tanning-bed sweat, hilariously rigid gender stereotypes and yawning punk extras, the post-apocalyptic genre tends to compensate for its general lack of funding and plot with excessive fog machines, bondage gear, hairspray, plastic armor, fearless stunt men, animated lasers and, occasionally, guinea pigs painted black to resemble giant radioactive rats. The results are almost always awesomely, stupefyingly and sardonically entertaining! 

Wyrd War proudly invites YOU to experience an absolutely overwhelming exhibition of original dark future film posters and rare memorabilia from around the world: TERMINAL ZONE! On display June 5 through July 3, 2021 only at the Wyrd War gallery! Please join us for the opening reception this Saturday June 5 from 6pm until 10pm. 

If you dare.
