The 1988 cult classic Miami Connection, starring, written, and directed by Y.K. Kim, definitely fits the bill. The film centers around a martial arts rock band that goes up against a band of motorcycle ninjas fighting against Florida’s narcotics trade. On Wednesday, Gramps hosts a screening of the 1988 cult movie — with a twist. The Execution of Miami Connection features a firing squad of local comedians commenting on the film as it plays. With so many “interesting” choices made by Kim, that shouldn’t be too hard. 8 p.m. Wednesday, at Gramps, 176 NW 24th St., Miami; gramps. com. Tickets cost $10 via eventbrite.com.
