Upcoming Events in Madison, WI
I’ll be speaking about my book Dissecting Cannibal Holocaust at a couple of events happening soon in Madison, Wisconsin.
Thursday, September 19, 2024: Words with Nerds
I’ll be speaking about “Dissecting ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ and Why We Crave Disturbing Film” alongside presentations by Cody Lemke on “The Creator of Schlock & Awe Tells You All You Need to Know about Movies with which to Punish Your Friends” and Julia Fraser on “A Grad Student’s Lament on Finding a Roommate in Madison.”
Crucible
3116 Commercial Avenue
Madison, WI 53713
7pm (doors at 6:30pm)
Tickets are $10 advance, $15 DOS. Recommended for ages 18+.
From the website: “Words with Nerds mixes TED Talks with stand-up by bringing together local specialists and comedians to present on a topic of their choice.Come for the laughs and walk away with strange new knowledge – previous performers have regaled audiences with presentations about dinosaur rib anatomy, a principal component analysis of the Taco Bell Menu, nipple equality activism in Madison, how people misuse statistics, what can be learned from watching 100 Hallmark movies, how to perform self-surgery, and much, much more. Past presenters span local entrepreneurs, professors, researchers, activists, union organizers, surgeons, engineers, and stand-up comedians with an itch to nerd out on stage.”
Friday, October 25, 2024: Cannibal Holocaust Screening
I’ll introduce the film and then participate in a Q&A afterward.

Admission is free and open to the public but seats are available on a first-come, first-seated basis.
From the website: “The Cinematheque represents UW-Madison academic departments and student film groups and is dedicated to showcasing the best in international cinema history and fine films which would otherwise never reach Madison screens. As the screening facility of the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR) and a member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), the Cinematheque regularly showcases archival and other rare prints from around the world.”
