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?

Patriot Games
This week a double dip into the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem for absolutely no reason at all.
Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister's place in the 74th annual Hunger Games, a televised punishment where one boy and one girl from each of the 12 Districts must fight to the death. The first film in the long running series based on one of the most influential Young Adult series so far this century, The Hunger Games.Coriolanus Snow hopes to secure his future and restore his family's lost fortunes by winning the Plinth Prize, a prestigious honor for graduating Academy students. This year a new twist has been added and he is forced to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, District 12's female tribute for the 10th annual Hunger Games. The fifth entry in the series and the first of the current prequel entries, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
All that and a weirdly unbalanced distribution of circuses to bread. 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?
