Swingers
“You’re so money and you don’t even know it!” Listen up, beautiful babies: Back in the mid-90s, the dating scene was different, you dig? There was no internet, there were no cellphones (*unless you were Gordon Gecko, maybe?), and there was definitely no swiping left or right if
Grease Sing-a-long!
“Hopelessly devoted to you…” There’s no better way to experience GREASE – which has been rockin’ and rollin’ and what-not for over 40 years – than at the Rio Theatre, surrounded by lovers of the film who are as excited to see it as you are,
The Gentlemen Hecklers Present Top Gun
“Talk to me, Goose.” Less talk, more riffing when The Gentlemen Hecklers bring back that loving feeling (or maybe take our breath away) to the Rio Theatre on Wednesday, May 8 with one of the 80’s most iconic blockbusters: TOP GUN. We feel the need… for speed! Tony Scott‘s 1986

Praised by (some) critics and widely admonished by others, the film has gained something of a cult audience in the nearly 25 years years
The Lobster
Visionary Oscar-winning Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (THE FAVOURITE, DOGTOOTH) has mastered the art of applying a surreal, absurdist lens to his narrative features, creating stories and characters that exist within their own unique worlds. Given all the “strange” social conventions of late, we felt the time was right to revisit
Cinema Paradiso

The Gentlemen Hecklers Present: The Room
“Oh, hai Mark!” Vancouver’s masters of movie-riffing, The Gentlemen Hecklers, are taking on their biggest challenge yet: Tommy Wiseau‘s epic, pop-culture masterpiece, THE ROOM.

Purple Rain
