There are certain ingredients that make for the perfect Fourth of July: Eating barbecue, relaxing with friends and family by the pool, seeing fireworks and, yes, watching Independence Day. I was lucky enough that my Fourth of July included all of these things, and to cap things off, I was able to watch the movie at the Blue Starlite, an awesome urban boutique drive-in theater here in Austin.
The Blue Starlite is not new to Austin, having held an eastside location for two years, but the Fourth of July was the first screening in their new site at Austin Studios. Since I had never previously been to a drive-in, the entire concept excited me from the beginning.

Going into The Show! I didn’t exactly know what to expect, but after reading that the evening would be filled with stand-up comedy, sketch comedy and short films, I knew I'd have to check it out.
Austin comedian Ramin Nazer acted as emcee throughout the night, which started with some stand-up comedy, and also introduced sketch team Spirit Desire. Several Spirit Desire video clips played on a large screen, and the group also performed live sketches. The group did some fake advertisements, including a reimagining of the characters from Peanuts in their adult years, living on the streets with Pig-Pen, the local drug dealer. Another bit imagined what it would be like if Ray Romano had a dinosaur for a child. These, of course, were all extremely funny, but let’s get into what we want to know more about: the films.
