Matinee

1993 99 min PG Comedy · Drama

Lawrence Woolsey presents the end of civilization as we know it. Make that... Proudly Presents!

Joe Dante directs this salute to the art of the gimmick. A producer arrives in Key West, Florida, to promote his low-budget monster movie during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's a nostalgic film that's also self-aware, which is not always a great mix.

Directed by Joe Dante · Written by Charles S. Haas, Jerico

Starring John Goodman, Cathy Moriarty, Simon Fenton, Omri Katz, Lisa Jakub, Kellie Martin
