Film
The Meteor Man: 25th Anniversary Screening
- 4:30PM
Writer-director-star Robert Townsend (the force behind the brilliant industry satire Hollywood Shuffle) helms this lovably goofy farce. He plays a DC schoolteacher who acquires super powers—chief among them, being able to communicate with his dog—after being struck by a meteor, and sets about cleaning up his neighborhood, from taking on gangs to building a community garden. The Meteor Man boasts an eclectic series of cameos from Luther Vandross, Cypress Hill, Naughty by Nature, and others.
