BAT BURLESQUE TICKETS, PODCASTS, INDIE MEETUPS, SUPER 8 CINEMA and more...
Hi ,
Welcome to our 12th action-packed newsletter. So much to report this week. We've been busy adding some finishing touches to our Super 8mm Cinema at THE SOHO CINEMA CLUB here in Los Angeles. We went to an amazing Burlesque show at The Montalbán Theatre. Started our own monthly PODCAST, a TIKTOK page and had another fabulous Indie Filmmakers Meetup!
Don't forget to click on many of the images for cool trailers and promos. So without further ado, let's get on with the show…
BATETTE FOLLIES OF 1939 - TICKET OFFER!
A few days ago we went to one of the best burlesque shows we'd ever seen in Los Angeles. From the creators of THE EMPIRE STRIPS BACK comes the even wilder and more beautiful BATETTE FOLIES OF 1939.
Think burlesque in Gotham City during the Ziegfeld Follies era. With music, dance, comedic skits, a tap dancing Batman & Robin and a real Batmobile on stage too! Prohibition-era Gotham City is beautifully created on stage in this DC parody. BATETTE FOLIES OF 1939 is highly recommended, showcasing the old-school charm of vaudeville and burlesque, and bringing the Dark Night’s world to life during the lively Flapper era.
It’s a wild revue, and absolutely delivered a great night of laughter and much needed pure escapism. Don't miss this exclusive event at The Montalbán.
It’s been extended by popular demand to July 28th. And courtesy of our dear friend LYNN TEJADA at GREEN GALACTIC we’re offering you all a 50% discount on any BATETTE tickets you wish to buy.
Just use 50% OFF code: BATETTE50

OUR SUPER 8 CINEMA - Finishing Touches
We're still busy putting everything together for our SOHO CINEMA CLUB opening night (Friday Aug. 16) here in LA. It's the only Super 8mm Cinema in the entire world! And look what arrived last week - our very own Neon light. Pretty cool looking or what?!

OUR VERY OWN PODCAST
We've been talking about doing this for so long now that I'm happy to report we're finally launched! We'll be posting new episodes every month so check out our first, a look at the unusual Super 8mm digest release of THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN (and about all things melty-man-ish).
Join my good self, Miles Flanagan, Jared Carlson (Hollywood Effects Guru), Sean Sardi (Cinephile Extraordinaire) and our many industry friends at the fabulous SOHO CINEMA CLUB in exotic Los Angeles. Listen to anecdotes & insights of classic 1960s, 70s and 80s horror and exploitation! Gasp at reviews of actual double-bills from the past! Shudder at over-long explanations of what Super 8 digests of classic movies actually are! All recorded on glorious, noisy, gaff-ridden cassette-tape for your listening pleasure. We may go digital next month. It's your one stop shop for all your esoteric cinematic delights!
Don't be shy. It's the most fun you'll have with headphones on.
Follow, subscribe or just listen to us wherever and whenever you can. Available on most Podcast apps everywhere.
JULY'S MEETUP HIGHLIGHTS
Thanks to everyone who made last week's INDIE FILMMAKERS MEETUP the best so far, with over 80 in attendance. It was packed!
We had a great raffle and made so many great contacts and new friends. If any of you haven't been to one of our events don't miss the next one.
We'll be taking a break in August as I'll be in the UK, visiting some cinephile friends, indie movie palaces and the actual SOHO of London. Yes, the SOHO CINEMA CLUB is named after that amazing part of England's capital city. I'll be posting updates on all this later.
Our next Meetup will be Thursday September 5th. More details later.
The evening is always FREE.
Usually the first Thursday of every month - 5.00pm-8.00pm - Bigfoot Lodge, 3172 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039

EVEN WE ARE ON TIKTOK
We're promoting some fun psychotronic movie clips for our very own SOHO CINEMA CLUB on TIKTOK of all places! We should be handing out photocopied flyers on the mean streets of Los Angeles instead. But one has to do what one has to do. Whatever that means. Check out and follow some of our funny retro-trailers, mash-ups and 80s commercials.
