Austin comedy troupe Master Pancake Theater (their home base is the famed Alamo Drafthouse) gives the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment to mainstream blockbusters—but with audience participation, complex theatrics, sound/video clips, and dirtier jokes.

(Central Cinema, 1411 21st Ave, www.central-cinema.com, 7 and 10 pm, $12, late show 21+)
