Charcha Film Club: "American Psycho - satire over reality"
**THIS WEEK: “AMERICAN PSYCHO - SATIRE OVER REALITY”**
We'll be watching and discussing clips from AMERICAN PSYCHO through the prism of it being a satire, not a horror (although aren't they the same in this case?)
Try to watch the film before coming to the meetup! Although we're sure you'll enjoy it even more after attending this event!
This event will be free so please buy drinks/food from us at Charcha to keep making these cultural events possible.
**ALSO SHOW YOUR OWN CLIPS!**
We will then have a break before the second half of the meetup where anyone can show a clip (usually youtube) from any film, tv, short etc. which they think is relevent/could help the discussion. The clip can be prepared or you can think of it in the session and we will do our best to pull it up on the screen! We will have clips ready too as backups although we want your perspectives!
If you know a clip you'd like to show/discuss before attending a session, feel free to send it to me privately (meetup or WhatsApp 622229697) or to our WhatsApp group beforehand ([https://chat.whatsapp.com/DVL01x0sUYH2ZeZ5FDfUaI?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DVL01x0sUYH2ZeZ5FDfUaI?mode=gi_t)) so that we can have it prepared.
**“Why another film club?” You may ask.**
Talking about a film can never replace watching one...never.
But we've found that when watching a film, a little context can go a long way.
So we’ve decided to create a film club in the hope that there are other people out there who feel the same; who will enjoy exploring their own perspectives as well as others beyond justifying why you like or dislike a film.
There is no judgement of films here. A-movie, B-movie, high-brow, low-brow, smart, dumb.
This will be an open-discussion. There’ll be themes and certain films chosen but respectful interruptions and questions will be welcome throughout.
To paraphrase Bong Joon-ho, once you overcome your knee-jerk judgement of a film, you can be introduced to so many more amazing films.
This is a new meetup and the format may change. But for now, we will not show whole films at the event. Instead they will be announced beforehand and then discussed with clips at the event.
We hope in the future, different hosts will choose different topics to focus on ranging from the universal like the essence of a story, to the practical minutia of film-making like cinematography, lighting or sound. Everyone is welcome.
SUNSET DEEP HOUSE YOGA *FREE*
**FLOW STATE MEETS FREEDOM PARTY.**
**JOIN THE EVENT HERE: https://luma.com/calendar/manage/cal-7syF5p6kFqFN9yn**
This isn’t your average yoga class.
It’s the kind of session that makes you forget where your mat ends and the music begins.
Welcome to **DEEP HOUSE YOGA**, a free weekly community vibe where golden hour, deep beats, and full-body flow collide.
Think: sunsets, melodic house, dynamic movement, laughs and a beautiful community.
You’ll move, you’ll breathe, you’ll drop in, and somewhere between the beat drops and your breath, you’ll remember what it feels like to be fully *here*
Grounded, connected, rooted in a siltent truth that needed to come back to the surface.
Like a deep remembering of **who tf you are.**
This isn’t about being perfect or zen, it’s about getting out of your head, into your body, and letting go of all the noise of the week.
✨ **Bring:**
* Your mat (or towel, we don’t judge)
* Comfy clothes
* Water
* Your friends
* And an open vibe
Come for the beats + movement
Stay for the sunsets, the laughs, and the kind of people you actually want to hang out with.
Led by **Saz Hartland**, Vinyasa + Yin teacher of 9+ years, community builder in Dubai, Prague & Japan, now creating a Deep House Yoga crew for the modern-day yogi who craves *connection, flow, and freedom (and fun)*
Let’s flow & forget the world for a bit 🔥

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
Should be a fun one, Dan
Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year.
The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars.
You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.

**⚠️ A Note on RSVPs**
Space for this first meetup is strictly limited to 10 spots.

**We can't wait to meet you and see what you're making! All skill levels welcome.**
Must See Thursday: I LOVE BOOSTERS at the Drexel + GRAETER'S!
Join us as we get together to see the top-reviewed comedy-drama, I LOVE BOOSTERS! The film comes from writer/director Boots Riley and follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven. Here are details, trailers and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven. It is written/directed by Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) and stars Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore.
BUZZ AND ACCLAIM: I Love Boosters was the opening film at this year’s SXSW Festival and premiered to rave reviews! It is currently earning a tremendous 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it, “an unexpected celebration of friendship, community, and solidarity.” Others call the film “an exercise in radical empathy,” a “masterful” and “optimistic” film designed to “provoke discussion” while making the audience laugh.
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4lPRISgr9c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4lPRISgr9c)
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM: GRAETER’S! Established way back in 1870 in Cincinnati, this historic, family-owned brand is famous for their delicious small batch ice cream and any chocolate chunk flavors! They are currently the only commercial ice cream maker using the French Pot method that they’ve been using since they first opened! Plus, those chocolate chunks, oh my goodness! Vegan options are available.
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but Showtime and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
