     This week- two tales of corporate greed in small towns with unusual traffic problems.

     Cru is a young BMX enthusiast blows off studying for the SAT to endlessly practice in a diy bike park. His daily routine is upended when all the top bike brands and riders descend on his small world for the biggest BMX event ever- Helltrack. Does he make his mother proud and take the test or does he compete in the race for his one chance to realize his dreams? The final theatrical feature from stunt legend Hal Needham- Rad.
     A local sandwich shop is pulled into a vicious advertising fight with the buffet on the other end of its shopping center. Soon a hum, a sinkhole, and a series of missing people engulf the town. A cult leader tries to resist, an attorney tries to stay on the right side of the apocalypse, and a pawn shop tries to simply stay open. Told almost entirely though local ads and news clips, a satirical horror of eldritch appetites- Buffet Infinity.
     All that and Kevin still dreams of dirt track glory, Craig has a mighty hunger for pandimensional curry, and Dave does not earn the Power of Understanding. Join us, won't you?

Earl and Nora

     This week a couple of films about crime paying to varying degrees. 

     Earl Macklin is attacked on his first night outside after 27-months. After he learns those responsible killed his brother and tortured his girlfriend, Earl decides they owe him for his troubles. Until they pay, he will keep robbing their operations. The fifth film adaption of Donald E Westlake's Parker and based on the third book in the series- The Outfit.
     After an eventful Christmas in New York, Nick and Nora Charles return home for an equally eventful New Year's. Nora's cousin Selma's missing husband returns only long enough to get shot and Selma is found standing over him with a gun in her hand. Since everyone in San Francisco wanted him dead, it's going to take our sleuthing couple a few days to untangle this knot. The second film in the series based on Dashiell Hammett's characters and the sixth to feature franchise leads Myrna Loy and William Powell together- After the Thin Man.
     All that and a strange coincidence as the curtain closes that is most definitely not about anything actually happening in the real world. Join us, won't you?

Neill Before Us

     This week we take a look at four films starring one of the most versatile chameleons of the last half century- the always brilliant Sam Neill.

     Paige and Leo's newlywed life  is torn apart when Paige loses her memories of the last five years after an accident.
