WTF Mystery Movie Speakeasy

The WTF Mystery Movie Speakeasy series has been going for well over 8 years now, every week after hours at a popular local watchin' hole. The earliest listing on my calendars is Aug. 31, 2015, and we've rarely missed a week since then. It goes further back than that though, with plenty of one-offs over the years.
The only common denominator in the programming is that the material is usually fairly obscure and will stick in your brain for a quite a while, for better or worse. It's definitely your best local bet for sitting in a darkened movie theater with fellow film nerds to watch some wierdo, mondo, arty, edgy, grimy, DIY, psychotronic, exploitation, B (or Z)-movie hybrid genre flick you've never seen before, and definitely can't unsee
.
Sometimes we even watch good movies!
