Terror and Talk at the Time Bomb is Getting Campy!

7:00 - 10:00 PM - Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb

Miss Ruth's Time Bomb is thrilled to invite you to Terror and Talk at the Time Bomb 

For June and in honor of Pride Month, Death Race 2000 (1975) will be the chosen film. This film was directed by the openly gay director Paul Bartel. Bartel’s career was affected by his sexuality, and he found himself more accepted at at home in the independent movie scene. So come on over to the Time Bomb on Saturday, June 18th, from 7:00 - 10:00 to celebrate the work of Paul Bartel and enjoy a little camp.
