Brew & View: Visioneers at Majestic Theatre
Like anything else comedian Zach Galifianakis touches, the 2008 film Visioneers has it in its DNA to inspire a certain cult appeal and plenty of esoteric in-joke quote-a-thons. And as with Galifianakis' delightfully jarring stand-up act, it's hard to suss out the tone of Jared Drake's black comedy. Galifianakis stars as a frustrated husband and father working at the Jeffers Corporation (whose logo is an extended middle finger) who becomes convinced for some reason that he's going to explode. Leave it to Galifianakis' special strain of madness to put life into such an utterly confusing concept. Before the screening, local stand-ups Mark Kump and Mike Schmidt will each do comedy sets that probably won't involve any sad classical piano, but will still likely have some perverse, playful moments.
