Yes, you heard that right, a movie showing at the Speakeasy. Don't worry about it. This isn't any normal movie showing. A proper showing of 'THE ROOM' is an experience in itself. Not unlike 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show', audience participation is a MUST! Whether you're yelling at the movie to "FOCUS" or quoting along with some of the best dialogue ever put to film, being loud and having fun is absolutely mandatory! Ha h...a ha ha... For over a decade, people have been holding wild midnight screenings that have taken the country by storm! This year is special because 'THE ROOM' has gone worldwide with a new film opening this month from James Franco and Seth Rogen called 'The Disaster Artist', chronicling the making of the best, worst movie ever made. What we're saying is, if you have never been to a gonzo screening of 'THE ROOM', then you're just a little chicken! CHEEP-CHEEP-CHEEP-CHEEP-CHEEP-CHEEP-cheeeeEEEEeeeeEEEEEeeeeeauaa! I have to go now.

Where: Private Event Our VHSANDCHILL Midnight Movie for October is going to be the 1982 sci-fi classic 'Blade Runner'. With the sequel coming out this week, this movie was requested for our October Midnight Movie. One of my favorite flicks of all time! Runtime: 117 minutes Update: Event Pics Uploaded When: Saturday, October 21st at 7:30pm - 2am Where: 51st Street Speakeasy 1114 NW 51st Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73118 Price: FREE ($3 Suggested Donation at the door that goes to bands and the people who put the show together.) AN INTRODUCTION: We’re returning to the 51st Street Speakeasy this October just in time for Halloween with “A Night at the Bronze: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Art Show.” If you have been following us, this will be our 7th multimedia art show at the Speakeasy since October 2015, which routinely features original work from artists, musicians, comedians, filmmakers, mixologists, fashion designers and performance artists as well as interactive elements. To view posters from our previous productions, please look in the event to see co-curator Mike Allen’s illustrations and designs. As with all of our events, we try to build everything we do around a particular vibe or theme. Whether she was new kid in town or the sole person standing in front of an apocalypse, Buffy Summers always threw down, especially when things got spooky. In honor of this, we’re transforming the 51st Street Speakeasy into two iconic spaces, downstairs embodying the popular Sunnydale club (The Bronze) and morphing the upstairs portion of the bar into the only occult shop next to the Hellmouth (The Magic Box). It should be noted that unlike the Bronze on TV, the Speakeasy is still 21 and up. Sorry in advance as I know some people haven’t been able to attend in the past because of this. ABOUT THE ART: Our makeshift gallery, as always, will be upstairs in the “Magic Box.” Submissions for this show are now open. Any artist interested, please message James at robotsavescity@gmail.com. We will be taking a $10 flat-fee commission for every piece that sells that evening that we will donate to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. The rest of the money goes directly to artists so please adjust your prices accordingly if you’re an artist. Submissions must be completed by October 11th, ready to hang. For buyers, we accept cash the night of the show. We try to let all pieces hang until at least midnight that evening. After midnight, buyers are allowed to take home their art or arrange meeting times to pick their pieces up. Also, for one night only, we will attempt to inundate the upstairs bar with supernatural forces in the form of tarot card readers and magicians. There’s no word on how we’re going to do that, but we have a couple months to figure it out. Stay tuned. ABOUT THE MUSIC: Downstairs, we’re making a conscious effort to make the Speakeasy feel like The Bronze, the iconic bar from the show. This means we’re actively finding some of the best rock bands in town to flesh out the vibe. Also, there might be a DJ cosplaying as the vampire Angel, but that might be a surprise. Officially booked bands include LCG and the X as well as Shut Up Matt Jewett. Check them out below, and we’ll keep you posted as we book new acts. https://lcgandthex.bandcamp.com/ https://shutupmattjewett.bandcamp.com/releases ABOUT THE FOOD: As always, we’ll be working with Speakeasy to create variations of food and drinks that fit this night. There’s a possibility of the staff submitting their takes on Double Meat Palace’s burgers from the show or wings from The Bronze. COMEDY, OTHER FUN STUFF and FINAL NOTES: Comedy Fight League's Josh Lathe will be hosting a live, comedic fan-fiction reading in one of the spaces. Also there’s talk about organizing a sing-along of the Buffy musical episode from Oklahoma’s own VHS and Chill. Cosplayers are welcome as always. This theme is pretty big, so we’ll keep you posted as we come up with more ideas. Again, the show is free with a $3 suggested donation at the door that goes to bands and the people who put the show together. See you then.

Where: Private Event Our VHSANDCHILL Midnight Movie for September is going to be the 1976 fantasy classic The Man Who Fell to Earth. This cult film is filled with wild imagery and an amazing performance by David Bowie as an alien visiting Earth on a mission to save his home world with our water. Runtime: 138 minutes Update: Event Pics Uploaded The August VHSANDCHILL Midnight Movie was Beyond the Black Rainbow. We all had a...weird time trying to figure this one out. We did debut the mighty VIDEO sign for the very first time at this showing!
When: Saturday, August 26 at 8:00 pm Where: IAO Gallery, 706 W. Sheridan Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73012 Price: FREE (Donations to IAO Gallery are encouraged) VHSANDCHILL started in a garage with a wall of CRT TVs like you've seen in your favorite films from the 80's and 90's. It soon became a routine weekend get together with friends and strangers alike to escape reality for a bit to reminisce classic films and videos or uncover whatever new crazy VHS tapes I could get my hands on. We've embraced the analog and now it's time to share the fun with the rest of OKC. We're opening the night with W.D. Richter's 1984 science-fiction romantic adventure comedy classic The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Peter Weller plays the titular hero Buckaroo Banzai. He's a brain surgeon, race car driver, scientist, rock star, and an actual comic book hero! He leads a team of rough and tumble compatriots called the Hong Kong Cavaliers, including our man Jeff as New Jersey, as they battle against John Lithgow as Lord John Whorfin and his evil aliens from another dimension - the Lectroids! Runtime: 103 minutes We'll follow that up with the 1988 screwball comedy Vibes! Jeff Goldblum is psychic Nick Deezy who can read the history of objects by touching them. He gets pulled into a mad quest for power with fellow psychic Cyndi Lauper as Sylvia Pickel. They must race against more psychics and assassins to the jungles of Ecuador where they will battle over an unstoppable force hiding within an ancient pyramid! 99 minutes We'll also have a food truck and a pay bar on location at the IAO Gallery in OKC's famous Film Row. The TV wall itself will be playing along with other video presentations celebrating some more of Jeff's classic film adventures. UPDATE: The Event was a success!! We all had a great time!! Follow VHSANDCHILL on social media and we'll tell you where Jeff is hanging out around OKC. Stop by, say hi and take a picture with the legend! Don't forget to #VHSANDCHILL. |
