Hosted by MoPOP’s very own Kasi Gaarenstroom, this all-virtual series will take place every second Saturday at 6:00pm. Each screening will feature a special guest who will fight for the legitimacy of their favorite flop. Audience participation is highly encouraged — attendees can sound off in the chat and heckle (or praise!) the current movie.
So grab some popcorn, fire up the ol’ internet, and get ready to cringe.

An alternate history romp set in the American West with not one, but TWO characters played by Kevin Kline?? That’s a wild wild YES from me! If two Kevin Kline’s aren’t enough to entice you, just remember back to the hit song from the original soundtrack that was inescapable in 1999...

Nicolas Cage, doing his Nicolest Cagiest, stars as Cameron Poe, a former convict traveling home on...you guessed it...a flight full of convicts. Some, like Poe, are being transported home, and others are being transferred to a supermax prison for their heinous deeds. I think this is gonna be a turbulent flight...

J.Lo plays Terri Flores, a filmmaker traveling deep into the amazon jungle searching for a forgotten tribe. When she and her crew run into a creepy older guy, Paul (Join Voigt), who promises to help them find the tribe, they sense something’s amiss. The title says it all. This movie has a gloriously computer-rendered GIANT SNAKE.

Ok. The first thing you should know about this movie is that it was based on a novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of scientology. The star of the film and fellow Scientologist, John Travolta, fought for YEARS to get it made, but studios were hesitant due to the script's connection to Scientology. Well, it eventually did get made, and guess what? It was a huge commercial and critical failure. Which is why we’re so enthused about it! Quick summary: It’s the year 3000 and earth is a wasteland. Mankind is on the verge of extinction. John Travolta has to save them.

Sometimes a love story is inspiring for it’s relatability and tenderness. Sometimes it induces awe for the opposite reason. Catwoman, played by Halle Berry, and her love interest Tom (Benjamin Brat), fall into the latter category. Their chemistry feels as uncomfortable and forced as I imagine Halle Berry does in her little leather outfit.
Every horror fan knows that in order to survive, you have to stay together.
That’s why we’re keeping horror lovers close with our monthly watchalong series, It’s Coming From Inside the House (ICFITH). ICFITH, MoPOP’s monthly horror watchalong series, is a place for the horror hounds, the horror curious, and even the horror averse to come together and talk about what scares us (even if it’s just an unsightly hairpiece from an 80s slasher flick).
The concept is simple: we invite a guest from the horror community to select a film they think deserves a spot on our list of 100+ Horror Films to See Before You Die (created for the Scared to Death exhibition). The special guest then makes a case for their film during a conversation with the program host and fans who are logged on for the watchalong. Throughout the program, we provide a space for horror fans to chat about the film and connect with the special guests and other horror lovers.
From January through October 2021, join us every third Friday of the month for a fresh film. Take notes on your faves, because at the end of the series, you’ll be able to vote on two new films to be added to the list of 100+ Horror Films to See Before You Die.
