Tucker & Dale vs. Evil: Free film screening with commentary from Prof. Emily Satterwhite

Just in time for Halloween, come watch Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010), a beloved parody of the hillbilly horror genre. College students' unfounded fears about working class white Appalachians are the source of their own undoing at a cabin in the woods.

Join us in the Lyric lobby for a reception from 6-7pm followed by a free screening of the film at 7pm. Dr. Emily Satterwhite will lead a post-film conversation exploring how the film's hilarious send-up of stereotypes and defense of rural places may inadvertently reinforce homophobic and anti-Black sentiments.

This event is free and open to all. Registration for this event is encouraged but not required. To register, please visit this link: https://forms.office.com/r/4ZqEWTgK1v
