Alexandria Oddball Cinema

Marathon

Oddball Cinema brings you all of the weird, eclectic, and lesser-known films you probably never saw in theaters. Click on the event title for more info!

This mockumentary follows the misguided efforts of some “athletes” who enter the fictional Devil’s Canyon Marathon. Their motivations and methods are questionable at best, as are those of the shady competition organizer, and the camera crew following them has problems of its own.  Injuries, disappointing training results, and “hitting the wall” prompt some understandably strong outbursts, but aside from occasional rude and arguably appropriate-under-the-circumstances language, this feature provides absurdly enjoyable entertainment for all.
