Jump into the Deep End with Another Mega-Bad Movie Night, July 23

For those who have never attended, Mega-Bad Movie Nights are like real-life episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. A few experts from the Academy get up onstage to comment and poke fun at the scientific absurdities filling a particularly bad movie. This time around, that particularly bad feature film is Deep Blue Sea, the sci-fi horror movie in which a group of scientists face-off against genetically engineered sharks, and, of course, things go horribly wrong.

Along with the movie, guests can also enjoy snacks, an open beer and wine bar, specimens from the Academy’s collection, live animals, and more. Guests can also explore the Butterflies! and Animal Grossology exhibits without having to worry about the kids.

Doors open at 5:30 PM, but the movie doesn’t start until 7 PM, giving you plenty of time to explore the Academy and enjoy a drink or two. A reminder, you must be 18 or older to attend, and at least 21 to drink. Tickets are available here.
