Sure, 1995 was a big year for movies. We had the first Toy Story, Heat, Braveheart, Casino, The Usual Suspects, Seven and Goldeneye to name a few. But for my money, the best film of the year was Empire Records.
That's because Empire Records was the only film to prominently feature the most brutal band in this galaxy or any other, GWARRRRRRRRRRR. As a refresher, the character of Mark, played by Ethan Embry, is eating a pot brownie as he's watching a live GWAR performance. Mark imagines himself hoping on stage with the band, playing guitar, until he gets devoured by the World Maggot. Here is the scene:
"Hey Mark. You love GWAR. Why don't you join the band? Aw man Mark man. You play a mean guitar man. It's really a shame that YOU MUST DIE." #GWAR #RexManningDay #EmpireRecords pic.twitter.com/ywfYjQVi7x

Well, it's been almost 25 years and Ethan is ready for revenge. Embry noticed GWAR was one of the confirmed acts for Riot Fest this year and tweeted he would be in attendance to finally get his revenge.
I see GWAR is added to the hellscape of @RiotFest
I have a 25 year score to settle with a gluttonous virgin eating worm.
See you in Mud City @gwar! https://t.co/LAq6TgWWU0— Ethan Embry (@EmbryEthan) May 29, 2019
Hopefully, Embry climbs on stage, only to be killed again. Also, one fan picked up on an interesting bit in this tweet – was Mark a virgin?
Embry chimed in:
He was before the party. After I couldn’t say..
