Make Friends: Not Small Talk - Deep talks & Coffee | đCulture Shock Therapy
Español Abajo
**âïž Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee âïž**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
\*\* What to expect?\*\*
âïž Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
âïž Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
âïž Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zoneâwithout feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
**Where?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
**How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but theyâre worth every cent).

**âïžCoffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son MĂĄs Fuertes que el CafĂ©âïž**
Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incómodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. Aquà venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueños, las crisis existenciales y por qué seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas.
\*\* ¿Qué puedes esperar?\*\*
âïž Preguntas que te harĂĄn pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos).
âïž Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del trĂĄfico.
âïž DinĂĄmicas interactivas que te sacarĂĄn de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo.
Si estås listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con café en mano y un toque de humor sarcåstico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez).
**ÂżDĂłnde?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (porque el cafĂ© sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeĂna desperdiciada).
**ÂżCuĂĄnto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sĂ, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo).

Dinner & a Movie: PROJECT HAIL MARY at Marcus Pickerington!
Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Hereâs a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U
BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an âold school blockbuster crowd-pleaserâ and âa new sci-fi classic!â Itâs âdeeply hopeful,â well-acted,â funny,â âdramatic,â and âexceptionally rousing throughout!â Others call it âsomething truly magicalâ and one that âweâll be talking about this one for decades to come!â And I believe Slashfilm says it best: âIt will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.â
MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm! Tickets already on sale and will likely move fast for this hot ticket / opening weekend showing so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. As a headâs up, this is a longer movie at 2hrs 36mins.
DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie at 5:30pm at group favorite, FUGU SUSHI, located just next door! Separate RSVP required for the Dinner / Movie portions of this event.
