What we’re about
Going to the movies used to be a thing I did by myself. But lately I've rediscovered how much fun it is to go with friends and to talk about it with them afterwards. So, here we are!
Providence Movie Club is a group where we'll go to a movie and then grab a drink after it's over to hang out and chat. I'm pretty omnivorous with my movie taste, so one week we could see something at the Avon, and the next be front and center at Morbius. Post-movie will change as well and hit bars, coffee shops, breweries, boba tea places, etc.
Don't worry about being a film expert or anything. I imagine conversations will go like most book clubs where you talk about the book for seven minutes and then everyone drops it.
See you at the movies!

See all- Suspiria at AS220 Black BoxAS220 Black Box Theater, Providence, RI
Man I love movies that showcase an impeccable use of color. And Suspiria, from 1977, is one of the best in that department. Directed by Dario Argento, the film stars Jessica Harper as an American ballet student who transfers to a prestigious European dance academy but realizes, after a series of murders, that the academy is a front for a coven of witches.
Join us on Saturday, May 10th for a 7:00pm screening of Suspiria at the AS220 Black Box theater. Doors open at 6:45pm, and we'll start the movie around 7:00ish. For anyone interested, we'll go to the AS220 bar afterwards to hang out (or someplace else downtown depending on the mood. It'll be Saturday night after all, wOoOoOoO!)
This is a ticketed event, and tickets are $7 each. You can pay with cash or card at the door. AS220 will soon have a preorder link as well if you want to go down that route. Feel free to drop a comment if you get lost or have any questions. The Black Box theater is located at 95 Empire Street in downtown Providence, to the right of the AS220 bar.

This year, GKIDS is releasing three of Mamoru Hosoda's films in theaters, remastered and in 4K. The only one I've seen of his is Mirai, so I'm excited to get the chance to possibly see some of his others on the big screen. For May, the release is Wolf Children from 2012. So one of our events this month will be at the Providence Place Showcase to watch it!
College student Hana falls in love with a “wolf man” and together they have two half-human, half-wolf children, Ame and Yuki. The young family’s happy but humble life comes to an abrupt end when the father is tragically killed during a hunt. After struggling to raise her children in the busy city, Hana boldly decides to move to a dilapidated house in the countryside, in hopes that her children may one day decide their own path to happiness – whether “human” or “wolf.”
Join us on Tuesday, May 13th for the 7:00pm showing of Wolf Children at Providence Place Cinemas. Afterwards, we'll go to Trinity Brewhouse for food and drinks. Programming note: this will be the subbed showing.
Meet by the group of tables across from the concession stand at 6:45pm. We'll head into the theater when it starts at 7:00pm and meet outside the door when it's over to reconnect. Feel free to sit wherever you want inside the theater. Drop a comment if you have any questions!

Join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/D73WT34Cx2 - Movie Club Mixer at The XO BarXO Bar, Providence , RI
For our mixer in May, we're heading back to The XO Bar! We've had events here twice already and it's always been a nice space to gather. Remember, there's no movie portion with the mixers. It's just a space to socialize and meet other people. Love movies? Like movies? Are a weird art person? Come!
The event will start at 7:00pm at The XO Bar on Sunday, May 18th. It'll end at 10:0pm. I'll have a pile of name tags on a table for everyone to help differentiate who's there for the mixer and who's just there. The XO Bar has alcoholic and non-alcoholic options for you all, as well as a few snacks. The mixer will be in the room next to the main bar area.
Hope to see you there!

And join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/D73WT34Cx2 - The Room (RKO Army Shadowcast)AS220 Black Box Theater, Providence, RI
There's a local group called RKO Army, and they do shadowcasts of various movies around the state. From their website: "[shadowcasting] is the simultaneous physical imitation by one or more people (the cast) to the audio and/or video of a pre-existing production. To enhance the performance, the cast may make use of props and wear costumes that resemble or help give an interpretation of a character from the production." Movie Club has gone to their Rocky Horror performances twice, and it's a great time. I've been dying to make it to one of their The Room performances and finally, finally, the stars have aligned!
Join us on Friday, May 30th for a RKO Army shadowcast of The Room at the AS220 Black Box theater. If you want to hang out and meet some people beforehand, meet at the AS220 bar at 7:30pm. The performance itself will start at 9:00pm. As for the plot, well, if you know, you know.
When it gets closer to the date, I'm sure AS220 will have a ticket link on their website. You can buy tickets at the door, but you do run the risk of it possibly being sold out. HOWEVER, one time they said they were sold out and we were still able to get in. I'll share the ticket link, though, once it's out there.
Anyway, how's your sex life?
