Los Angeles is Toast!: Nuclear War in 80s Film

Media Potluck is proud to present, Los Angeles is Toast!: Nuclear War in 80s Film.

This month's double feature will be Miracle Mile (1988) and Repo Man (1984).

Taking place in the desolate streets and underground worlds of Los Angeles, circa the mid to late 1980s, Miracle Mile and Repo Man provide two unique, but varied, views of a culture overcome by the fears and anxieties of the cold war.

Check out our previous articles on both films:

Party starts at 6 PM, films begin at 7 PM. Come prepared for discussion!

This will be a media potluck and also a REAL potluck, so everyone is asked to try to bring some food to share! We will be providing a special Repo Man themed cake. Please RSVP and comment with what treat you will bring.
