Before you get too offended, understand that contained within this post is an opportunity to hang with Scottie Pippen and drink free beer on a Sunday afternoon, as the title suggest.

The Tribeca Film Festival is getting underway, and amongst the films premiering at the Fest is the outlandish doc Midgets vs. Mascots. I’ll let the description speak for itself…

In this “Borat” meets “Jackass” shockumentary, 5 little people and 5 mascots battle for $1 million apiece in competitions like “how few insults does it take to get punched in a bar”, and “alligator wrestling”. Gary Coleman, leading the littles as himself, is a comedic freight train (or train wreck) as he gets into actual fist fights with mascots, coaches and even Scottie Pippen. Like “Borat”, much of the film is shot “guerilla improv” as they surprise unsuspecting bystanders when the teams crash restaurants, bars and neighborhoods during outrageous competitions.

Well, after viewing this trailer, I think it’s possible that Coleman & Co. may have usurped Sasha Cohen, and his upcoming part deux of the Ali G series Bruno, in the shock dept.

Gary, with all due respect, it’s a fair question. What else have you done? In fact, the first person to email me the show from this photo below (Gary appeared in an Episode once) wins the chance to, again, meet Scottie Pippen and drink free beer next Sunday.




The details, Gunaxin and Scottie are hosting a pre-party next Saturday in New York City at the Village Pourhouse, with free open bar from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.! Afterwards, we’re going to check out the screening of Midgets vs. Mascots. Send me the title of the show and you get to come hang.
