What we’re about
This group will meet to discuss one of the weird movies on the 366 Weird Movies List and Apocrypha (https://366weirdmovies.com/the-weird-movie-list/). We can go beyond that list too -- nothing is set in stone.
Half of the time, you will watch the movie on your own and then come to the meeting to discuss it. In the other meetings, we will watch the movie together and then discuss it.
See this spreadsheet for information about the 366 Weird Movies List and Apocrypha, including where you can find the movies streaming (though lots of that information is out of date.) 366 Weird Movies + Apocrypha: streaming info last updated 5/24/21 - Google Sheets

See all- "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" Discussion Led by Grant: Watch it at Home FirstPryes Brewing Company, Minneapolis, MN
Grant will be leading the discussion for his choice, Terry Gilliam's Hunter S. Thompson adaptation "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Watch the movie on your own and come ready to chat about it. I don't see it available for free on any streaming site, so you might have to rent it from Fandango or Amazon.
We'll meet at Pryes Brewing, which has lots of space and isn't very noisy. It's near downtown Minneapolis but has plenty of parking. I'll get there around 6:30 p.m. and claim a table on the opposite side of the bar. Get a drink and then head to the other end of the building, to one of the long tables near the risers. It appears to be quietest there and there will probably be a long table free. Either way, you'll be able to identify me by my baseball cap that says "Weird Movie Club" on it.
And feel free to sitemail me to recommend another movie for a future meeting. You can go by the official list from the website 366 Weird Movies (366 Weird Movies + Apocrypha: streaming info last updated 5/24/21 - Google Sheets) or suggest something else.
- "Swiss Army Man" Screening and DiscussionSaint Paul Public Library - George Latimer Central Library, Saint Paul, MN
Join us to watch and then discuss "Swiss Army Man," the debut feature of the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), who hit it big with possibly the most enjoyable movie of this decade, "Everything Everywhere All at Once." I chose "Swiss Army Man" because it was nominated in a survey of group members I did a while back, and it's quite fun and basically library-appropriate.
I'll get to the library at 1:30 p.m. and try to set everything up in time for a 2 p.m. start. Get there early so you don't miss a minute. The library closes at 5, so we'll have to wrap up discussion before then. Discussions tend to last no more than about half an hour.
It's all free. We'll be in the Andy Boss Community Room on the 4th floor of the George Latimer Public Library in downtown St. Paul.
Street parking is possible, but you might consider using the light rail. A great place to park and ride is the Western Avenue stop of the Green Line. There's always parking on Aurora Avenue, one street south of University.
And feel free to sitemail me to recommend another movie for a future meeting. It would be great if you wanted to host and lead discussion too.

- "Under the Skin" Discussion: Watch it at Home FirstPryes Brewing Company, Minneapolis, MN
Let's talk about the haunting Jonathan Glazer film "Under the Skin." Watch the movie on your own and come ready to chat about it. I don't see it available for free on any streaming site, so you might have to rent it from Fandango or Amazon.
