After a month off for Christmas, Movie Geeks Club is back in full-swing this month with The Corndog Man. Capital City Bar and Grill. Tuesday, January 29th. Doors at 7:00. Movie starts at 7:30.
If you've never seen The Corndog Man, you owe it to yourself to come check out this gem of an indie. The Corndog Man was an official selection at Sundance in 1999, and it won several awards on the indie festival circuit that same year. It features Noble Willingham, well known for his roles as a character actor on Murder, She Wrote and Walker, Texas Ranger. Willingham appeared in over thirty feature films in his career. Most notable to our Movie Geeks is probably his role as Zebulon Cardoza in The Hudsucker Proxy.
But in The Corndog Man, Willingham steps out and really shines as the foul-mouthed, bigoted boat salesman Ace Barker. The entire movie rests on Willingham's shoulders, and his profanity-laced, improvised lines are some of the best I've ever heard.
Every dog has his day!
