About the event

Inspired by several video essayists and podcasts, I have selected films to watch and talk about.

We will watch the movie then everyone is expected to stay after for discussion. We can discuss things like themes, characters, screenwriting, filmmaking technique, etc. For especially weird movies we can take some time to figure out what actually happened and what it means.

No potluck, but you may bring food & non-alcoholic beverages if you want.

The movie will be played on Blu-ray (which has noticeably better quality than streaming) to a 60-inch LCD TV (from 2010) and an actually good 5.1 surround-sound system with a 12-inch subwoofer.
