Kung Fu Theater: Snake in the Eagle's Shadow
This monthâs installment in Dan Halstedâs ongoing celebration of all things whoop-ass is a very rare 35mm print of the Jackie Chan classic Snake in the Eagleâs Shadow. Donât go in expecting the ridiculous action-comedy frenzy of Drunken Master II or Project A, or youâre probably going to be a little nonplussed by the straightforward âmaster teaches student how to take out the rogue clanâ story. This is a slower film than the average Chan fan might expect, but director/master Yuen Woo Ping still brings the goods from a choreography standpoint, and 1978-vintage Jackie is pretty goddamned impressive. And if you need a little outlandishness to go with your action, there is a kung fu Jesus in the mix. Catch the birth of a kung fu legend in 35mm while you can! BOBBY ROBERTS

The Buttertones, The Goobs, Psychomagic
Regardless of how overdone, overplayed, and clichĂ© itâs become, surf rock will always have a place in the West Coast music landscape. Los Angeles group the Buttertonesâ new record, Gravedigging, plays more like the soundtrack for an action-packed â60s teen surf film than an indie rock album made in 2017. Itâs got everythingâthe slow dance song, the beach hangout song, the being-chased-by-the-school-principal-after-partaking-in unruly-antics song. Though they certainly capture that seaside sound, Gravediggingâs got a healthy dose of creepy punk vibes. Richard Araizaâs theatrical vocals call to mind artists like the B-52âs, the Cramps, and the Clash, while wavy guitar riffs stay true to the surf genre and pair flawlessly with wild saxophone parts.
