Troc

🧌 ***In a galaxy far, far away, where every star tells a story, we gather to watch the next chapter unfold. A wise, mystical being with a touch of magic travels the universe and journeys alongside his human warrior companion, bound by a code of honour and a deep connection to the Force.*** 👋 **Hey everyone,** let's get ready to jump from one exciting planet to another and finally touch down on Nevarro, because the **Mandalorian and Grogu** are taking us on a journey across the galaxy! Now, this Star Wars film is basically a big-screen adventure bringing our favourite duo from the Disney series to the cinema. It's directed by J**on Favreau**, who really set the tone for the **[Mandalorian Series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOC8E8z_ifw)**, and he's carrying that same vision into the movie. Plus, since he's also one of the writers, we can definitely expect his style and continuity all over it. If you've been following the show, we’ll probably all recognise that same blend of space-western vibes, a bit of humour, and of course, plenty of Grogu charm. It’s a natural next step for the franchise, bringing these streaming favourites to the big **IMAX Screen**. It’s going to be a lot of fun with the same creative team going bigger than ever. **Fun instructions:** We’ll kick things off at **3:15 pm** at the **Victory House Wine Bar.** Feel free to bring along your **Star Wars themed tees or any fun props**, totally optional! Then at **4:15 pm** we'll proceed to **Cineworld IMAX** where you will also find us in seats **F20-F22** inside the screen if you want to sit near us. After the film we'll keep the fun rolling with a **Star Wars Vibe** **Social** at the **W Bar Leicester Square** where of course and review the film for our **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/) Page**.

💀 **Damn, those horrific tragedies that unleash such an implacable demonic stalker. But why is it so impossible to outrun?** 👋 **What’s going on guys!** Once again, we find ourselves right in the middle of bloody May, carving into another horror film. This time, we’re going into overdrive with a new tragedy horror by **André Øvredal**—already stirring quite a buzz on Reddit, with claims it explores elements of body horror. If you’re familiar with his previous work, this will come as no surprise, as **[The Autopsy of Jane Doe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNxsaFCzqxc)** and **[Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlya92LZqZw)** also explore elements of body horror, though in different ways. Both are well regarded in the horror community, so excitement for this one is pretty high. Most of the plot is being kept under wraps, but the vibe points to a suffocating, tense loop, following a couple caught in a harrowing car accident and pursued by a demonic stalker that seems impossible to escape. So let’s park outside that awful congestion zone. So, it's Sunday drinks at the **Victory House Wine Bar** from **5:30pm**. Then at **6:30pm** will be on our way to **Vue Cinema (Screen 2)** where you'll find me in seat **A4**, but you can pick what works for you. After the film we'll regroup once again for our commentary and **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)** review. And, you will find the **full schedule breakdown, ticket info and addresses below**, so don't miss out. One would expect some sort of break after a shocking accident…but don’t count on it. **See you guys then,** **Jonny** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 drop us a message (**or change your RSVP**) — You can also follow us at **[@jonnyhideout](https://www.instagram.com/jonnyhideout/)** \| **[Darinka Yordanova](https://www.instagram.com/darikforme/)** or our club **[@thehideoutmax](https://www.instagram.com/thehideoutmax/)** on instagram for fun updates. 🗓 **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** * 5:30 PM: Drinks (Victory House Wine Bar) * 6:30 PM: VUE Leicester Square (Screen 8) * 8:30 PM: Review 📱**STAY CONNECTED** * Join our WhatsApp or Telegram groups (available by request), or hop onto our **[WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDvGuK0AgW8KPxOnG2V)** or **[Telegram Channel](https://t.me/thehideoutuk)** for quiet updates without the chat.

Fares Fares, star of the two previous films in Tarik Saleh’s Cairo trilogy - 'The Nile Hilton Incident' (2017) and 'The Cairo Conspiracy' (2023) - is a hoot as an egotistical Egyptian movie star dilettante whose dreams of an easy life in a difficult country are scuppered in brutal fashion. A satire with a dissident energy and a dark denouement, it’s an Armando Iannucci-esque send-up of something deadly serious. (Time Out)

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
