Last Minute Plans: Laugh At Lifetime Movies

By Samantha Abernethy in Arts & Entertainment on Jun 19, 2013 6:30PM

If you enjoy spending a lazy afternoon on the couch laughing at cheesy melodramatic Lifetime movies, you're not alone. And you don't have to do it alone, either.

Everything Is Terrible and saki present "Once In A Lifetime," in which three local comedians take down Lifetime movies Mystery Science Theater 3000-style tonight at Lincoln Hall. The Lifetime Original this time is Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life, a cautionary tale about online porn addiction.

Lifetime's description is ridiculous to begin with:

16-year-old Justin Petersen is an all-star swimmer from a loving and devoted middle-class family. But after a school acquaintance introduces him to online porn, Justin finds himself secretly obsessed with a cyber-fantasy world that has little connection to the flesh-and-blood people around him. When Justin's athletic and academic performance begins to suffer, his parents realize something is seriously wrong.

How could that get any more ridiculous? We'll see Wednesday night when Marty DeRosa, Dan Friesen and Megan Gailey punch things up.

Once in a Lifetime: Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life is on Wednesday, June 19 at 8 p.m. at Lincoln Hall, 2424 N. Lincoln Ave. $5, 18+
