Y2K

Y2K, directed by Kyle Mooney, is a comedic romp through the chaos and absurdity of the turn-of-the-millennium panic.

Set on New Year’s Eve 1999, the film follows two slacker friends, played by Jaeden Martell and Mason Gooding, who find themselves in the middle of a wild house party as they try to save their hacker friend (Rachel Zegler) from the havoc she inadvertently unleashed on the world’s computer systems. As midnight approaches and Y2K hysteria peaks, the trio faces hilarious mishaps, bizarre party antics, and unexpected revelations, all while attempting to prevent a seemingly catastrophic meltdown.

Paths of Glory

Our Kubrick Christmas series marches along with Paths of Glory, the director’s 1957 anti-war drama!

The story follows Colonel Dax, portrayed by Kirk Douglas, a principled French officer who is ordered to lead his men in a suicidal assault on an impregnable German position known as the “Anthill.” When the attack fails, the enraged generals scapegoat three soldiers, putting them on trial for cowardice to cover up their own incompetence. As Dax defends the men in a farcical court-martial, the film exposes the callous indifference of the military hierarchy and the brutal realities of war.

Hundreds of Beavers + Q&A w/ Mike Cheslik & Amy Nicholson

Our all-month birthday celebration wraps up with Hundreds Of Beavers, a new age cult comedy classic! And as an added bonus, stick around after the film as we chat with the man behind the madness, writer/director Mike Cheslik himself, moderated by LA Times film critic Amy Nicholson! 

In the early 1800’s, Jean Kayak, a drunken applejack salesman, finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with nothing but his dim wits to guide him. Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and forest creatures – all played by actors in full-sized mascot costumes – Kayak develops increasingly complex traps in order to win the hand of a mischievous lover. When he discovers that the Beavers have formed their own secret society, he must infiltrate their lair to uncover their secrets and win the day. Robert Abele of The LA Times called it, “Gonzo cinema, moonshine distilled from the corny legacy from every loopy genius from Buster Keaton and Tex Avery to Mel Brooks and George Miller.”
