The Alamo Drafthouse is preparing themselves to welcome the end of the worst year ever, with a celebration hosted by the Cheddar Goblin. The fictional pasta mascot from Mandy is set to ring in 2021 with a watch party beginning at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT, online and with help from Legion M, the fan-owned entertainment company that made Mandy a reality. Alamo Drafthouse says they plan to “ring in the close of the wildest (bad) year of our lives with the wildest (good) party of our lives,” and promises to “put 2020 out of its misery” in an online, virtual New Year’s Eve party.

The event will include an 8-bit Ball Drop Bash from 10 pm CT until 3 a.m. on January 1, and there are various ticket packages, ranging from simple admission to the party to something with a lot more perks.
The Mandy watch party is optional, but who is going to want to close out 2020 by watchin gone of the weirdest films in recent memory, all hosted by the one-and-only Cheddar Goblin (voiced by Henry Zebrowski)? After the party, attendees will be transformed into an 8-bit avatar for an UnCAGED virtual party at the Alamo Drafthouse Highball.
The theater chain is promising an “epic night of live music, comedy, poetry, magic, games, quests, karaoke, virtual dance floors, poker, and surprise celebrity drop-ins, available on any computer with the internet (note Chrome browser is required for the optional watch party).”
