To commemorate Alan Arkin’s recent death, quite possibly the strangest film ever made, THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN INVINCIBLE will be shown. It never played in theaters in the US because days before it was supposed to open in 1983, the production company went out of business. Arkin stars as a super-hero from the 30s and 40s who is forced into retirement by McCarthy-style anti-communist persecution. He is also charged with flying without a proper license and wearing underwear in public. He disappears from the public eye and becomes a fat old alcoholic. Thirty years later, his arch enemy, the super-villain Mr. Midnight (Christopher Lee!), re-emerges and steals a top-secret super-weapon: The Hypno-Ray. The government asks Captain Invincible to come back, and the story follows his attempts to return to super-heroing and redeem his reputation, but can he sober up and remember how to fly again? Plus…It’s A Musical…with songs by the guys from THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!! OMG!

Prior to the feature, look for fascinatingly strange shorts, cartoons, trailers, etc!

Members should bring a dish for the potluck dinner starting at 6PM. Some bottom feeders just come for the great food! It sure beats dumpster diving!
