Special Guests

Join us at The Frida Cinema for the Orange County premiere of the new documentary Earth's Greatest Enemy, followed by a Q&A with co-director Abby Martin! In Abby Martin's second feature documentary, Earth’s Greatest Enemy reveals a hidden truth behind the climate crisis: the role of the U.S. military as the world’s largest institutional polluter. Drawing on powerful testimonies from veterans, scientists, and frontline communities, it uncovers how military operations poison ecosystems, accelerate global warming, and sacrifice the future for endless expansion. From Alaska’s melting glaciers to contaminated bases across the U.S. and toxic battlefields abroad, Earth’s Greatest Enemy delivers a provocative and unflinching examination of the untouchable institution playing an outsized role in the climate crisis. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, the film challenges audiences to re-think the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences.

Grab a slice and skate on down to The Frida Cinema as Moviebusters presents a very special screening of the 1990 cult classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles! And make sure to stick around after the screening as martial artist, actor, and the man behind Donatello’s legendary moves, Ernie Reyes Jr joins us for an in-person Q&A! Before superheroes ruled the multiplex, four brothers from the New York sewers saved the world with martial arts and heart. Director Steve Barron’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a box-office surprise and a practical-effects marvel. Produced on the edge of indie ingenuity, the film blended Jim Henson’s Creature Shop wizardry with street-level grit, creating a tone that felt mythic. Beneath the pizza jokes and wisecracks was something sincere--growing up in a hard (shelled?) city. This program is a venue rental engagement.
