AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM/CNN) - Bring back the matching neon shirts and socks... Matthew McConaughey and the crew did a virtual table read of "Dazed and Confused" over the weekend.

The event was organized to support the March for Science, the Voto Latino Foundation, and increase awareness about voting in Texas.

It was one of several virtual table reads that have been held in support of charities and getting out the vote for the upcoming November 3 election.

Social media was thrilled with the virtual revival of "Dazed and Confused," which also included Ashton Kutcher, Zachary Levi, Eiza Gonzalez, Ricky Whittle and Jensen Ackles acting some of the roles.

The film helped catapult McConaughey, a proud Uvalde, Texas native, into stardom.
