Chat - How to tune into our Movie Club

Chat is a private space for us to converse and connect.

Among other things, it facilitates our Movie Club roughly once a month, exclusively for paid subscribers. We hang out, talk shop, and break down films together in real-time. Join us for lively discussion and camaraderie with kindred spirits!

For example, we dove deep into Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar in honor of the film’s tenth anniversary. And when visionary filmmaker David Lynch passed away, we explored one of his most unusual films in celebration of his legacy.

With new Movie Club events roughly once a month, there’s always a screening and discussion to look forward to, whether it’s a cult classic, hidden gem, or fresh release sparking conversation. (Please note that you need your own copy of the film if you want to watch along with us, but you’re welcome to tune in regardless).
