GAME NITE

When Dawn and Mickey discover an infestation of raccoons living in their garage-turned-mancave, the unseen vermin threaten to tear them apart (figuratively). Dawn wants the animals out—NOW—but Mickey hesitates—he’s having The Guys over on Football Saturday, and he fears what they’ll think of him if he can’t handle these little furry beasts himself.

When Dawn and Mickey discover an infestation of raccoons living in their garage-turned-mancave, the unseen vermin threaten to tear them apart (figuratively). Dawn wants the animals out—NOW—but Mickey hesitates—he’s having The Guys over on Football Saturday, and he fears what they’ll think of him if he can’t handle these little furry beasts himself. As the filth piles up, Mickey’s denial deepens, food products are thrown, masculinity is wrestled with (literally), Boston Market is consumed, and all the madness explodes in a raucous, ridiculous and outrageous football-Saturday party—GAME NITE.

GAME NITE

Recommended by

  • Hayley St. James: GAME NITE by Jackson Tucker-Meyer
    “

    A deeply, profoundly surreal and weird-in-the-best-way story of a guy, a girl, a garage full of unorthodox raccoons, and an utterly gonzo football watch party. Poetic yet jarring interludes pepper the narrative. Dialogue crackles with references to Boston culture and television commercial jingles. It’s all so much to take in... and such an enthralling, unhinged journey. Produce this, if you have the guts to do something this out there.
