As if! It’s been 30 years since Cher Horowitz first schooled us in the art of high school survival—and we’re celebrating it in style: with a special screening of the 1995 classic plus a bonus double feature of Amy Heckerling and Alicia Silverstone’s Vamps from 2012! And as a bonus bonus, Griffin Newman (“Griffin” on the Blank Check Podcast and “Watto” on The George Lucas Talk Show) will be in the house to introduce BOTH films!
Amy Heckerling’s Clueless remains the ultimate ’90s teen comedy: sharp, stylish, and endlessly quotable. Follow Cher, Dionne, and the gang through Beverly Hills’ hallways and malls as they navigate friendship, fashion, and, of course, the quest to find the perfect date.
Vamps is about two bloodsucking party girls (Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter) find their destinies at stake when one falls for the son of a vampire hunter and the other encounters a long-ago love.
One ticket gets you access to both films and there will be a 15 minute intermission between them. Don’t miss this pairing on the big screen with a rowdy crowd!
ABOUT GRIFFIN NEWMAN
Griffin Newman is a New York-based actor, writer, and pop culture commentator best known for co-hosting the acclaimed Blank Check with Griffin & David podcast, where he and film critic David Sims deep-dive into the filmographies of directors who were given, well, blank checks – with often wild results. A veteran of both screen and stage, Newman is equally beloved in the comedy world for his role as the irreverent, gravel-throated “Watto” on The George Lucas Talk Show, an improvisational cult-favorite livestream series that blends Star Wars cosplay with late-night satire and deep-dish cinephilia. On screen, Griffin’s credits include roles in The Tick, Search Party, Our Cartoon President, and a memorable cameo in Draft Day. Smart, sharp, and self-deprecating, Griffin has carved out a niche as one of the most refreshingly earnest film geeks working today – equal parts performer, and passionate cinephile.
