SEASON 1 LINEUP!

Fri Feb 19th 7:30pm (EST)
ALIENATOR (1990)

She's a lethal fem-bot from outer space, tasked with capturing a fugitive hiding out here on Earth! It's big hair and big guns in this outrageous Sci-Fi schlock favorite.

Fri Feb 26th 7:30pm (EST)
Double Feature with old style Intermission!
ROBOT MONSTER (1953) + PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959)

Two absolutely legendary sci-fi blunders from the paranoia era of the 1950s! ROBOT MONSTER is the tale of the last (pathetic) group of humans on Earth being meanced by an alien (a man in Gorilla suit with a diving element), and all shot pretty much in the one location. After intermission, it's the gold standard of B Movies from Ed Wood himself! PLAN 9 sees a valley town under attack from flying saucers and aliens whose grand plan is to resurrect the dead. Horror legend Bela Lugosi stars, however he died midway production, so a body double stood in, and had to cover his face naturally...

Wed March 3rd 7:30pmn (EST)
Midweek Special!
SOUTHLAND TALES (2007)

A sprawling epic, from the creator of Donnie Darko, set in an alternative pre-2008 election America that has become a fascist police state, following the nuking of Texas and outbreak of WW3. Savaged at Cannes and re edited for it's theatrical release, it became a cult film due to it's deeply involved world building and extremely unlikely ensemble cast including Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mandy Moore, Justin Timberlake. Miranda Richardson, Wallace Shawn, Jon Lovitz, Christopher Lambert and Kevin Smith. A film that was ahead of the game with an expanded world that unfolded via comics and short films, it is ripe for reassessment as an underappreciated movie. Music by Moby.

Fri March 5th 7:30pm
DEATH RACE 2000 (1975)

In a dystopian future, a cross country automobile race requires contestants to run down innocent pedestrians to gain points that are tallied based on each kill's brutality! Starring David Carradine (the titular Bill of Tarantino's Kill Bill saga) and a very young Sylvester Stallone, the tone of the film is far more kitschy than it sounds. Fantastic vehicle design and an all over goofy feel make this a brilliant night of pure 70's entertainment.

Fri March 12th 7:30pm (EST)
CAPTAIN AMERICA (1990)

Looooong before Iron Man changed the face of cinema, Marvel just couldn't get their act together on the big screen (Blade was still 8 years away), and boy does it show in this laughably bad straight to video version of Marvel's mightiest patriot! Starring (and we're serious) the son of author J.D Salinger as Cap, the shield wielding hero comes across as bulked up wimp in what must be the heaviest and hottest rubber costume ever made. Laugh out loud, face palming fun!

Wed March 17th 7:30pm (EST)
Midweek Special!
THE WARRIORS - ORIGINAL 1979 THEATRICAL CUT

With Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and The French Connection, The Warriors is the epitome of the bad old days of New York on film. The original cut of the film fell out of print in 2001 (the last time the original version was made available for home or cinema viewing) and was re-edited in 2005 with a new intro and ridiculous comic book style scene transitions that outraged fans of the film, to coincide with the video game release. We are pleased to present the original legendary version of this iconic film!

Fri March 19th 7:30pm (EST)
CHOPPING MALL (1986)

It's the mall of the future with three security robots turning maniacal, and on a killing spree against a group of teenage employees who stay behind at work for a late night party in one of the stores. But when the mall goes into lock-down, the robot security system malfunctions and all hell breaks loose! A film that couldn't be more 80s if it tried!
