“Think burlesque, with a dose of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and the vibe of a Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screening.”

It's just Shadie, a guy who really loves Shitty Movies.

The audience usually votes the film in on the night.
Sometimes we announce it, sometimes it is a surprise.

It's just Shadie, a guy who really loves Shitty Movies.
It is not a screening, it is a Movie Party.
The audience usually votes the film in on the night.
Sometimes we announce it, sometimes it is a surprise.
Each night has its own custom elements, built for the film, the venue and the crowd: movie bingo, live commentary, drinking games, weird clips, popup performances and a showreel of rarities.
It has happened in a marionette theatre, a Tokyo bar, a back garden in Australia at dusk, a dive-in movie at a pool, and a speakeasy basement under a landmark cafeteria.
The LA nights run in The Sanctuary, the speakeasy basement under Clifton's DTLA.
One-offs happen anywhere, like Club Fais Do Do in West Adams and Petit Ermitage in West Hollywood.
Over 240,000 people follow along on Instagram.
Recent screenings included LOVE ON A LEASH, a 2011 romance between a woman and a golden retriever who is, some of the time, a man in a tuxedo, and THE APPLE, a 1980 biblical sci-fi musical, with karaoke, dance breaks and performances interrupting the movie.
The quickest way to understand it is to be in the room, so there are always seats for writers. No obligation to write anything, and no hard feelings if you come and it isn't for you.
Ask for a seat and you're on the list.
