Michael Cera Hosts Screening of Freebie and the Bean

Exercising his inner film programmer, Youth in Revolt‘s Michael Cera has tabbed Freebie and the Bean as one of his favorite movies, and slated it for a special screening as part of the Comedy Death-Ray series at the Silent Movie Theatre in Los Angeles, on Sunday, March 14 at 8 p.m. Directed by Richard Rush (The Stunt Man, Getting Straight), the movie is a veritable “who’s who” of ’70s film awesomeness, starring James Caan and Alan Arkin as a pair of racist, homophobic and misogynist San Francisco supercops. But here, let Cera explain: “Filled with car crash sequences, guns, yelling, transvestites and Alan Arkin, Freebie and the Bean has got to be the best buddy-cop film of 1974,” he raves. Tickets are $14; for more information, including the movie’s trailer, click here.
