When did National Days become a thing? Well, who are we to ignore a trend? National Days allow us to embrace our fandom and spotlight real-world issues. Join us on the following days in the upcoming months.

Star Trek Day – Star Trek III The Search for Spock.  Adm. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) has defeated his archenemy but at great cost. His friend Spock has apparently been killed, the USS Enterprise is being scrapped, and starship physician Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy (DeForest Kelley) has taken ill. McCoy’s odd behavior is evidence he’s harboring Spock’s katra, or animating spirit, and Kirk seeks to take the Enterprise back to the Genesis Planet and find his friend. Rebuffed, Kirk takes dramatic action that results in war with deadly Klingons. Screens Sunday, Sept. 8th, 2024. Learn more about Star Trek Day here

Batman Day – Batman: The Movie (1966). Kaaapowie! Holy feature film, Batman … one based on the tongue-in-cheek, campy 1960’s television series. Watch Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) battle sharks, Catwoman, The Joker and The Riddler on the big screen. Can they try to prevent the bad guys from taking over the world? With a wham! and a pow! and a zip! … our heroes just might win. Screens Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024. Learn more about Batman Day here

Silent Film Day – It (1927).  When she first sets eyes on her new boss, the wealthy Cyrus Waltham Jr. (Antonio Moreno), department store clerk Betty Lou Spence (Clara Bow) is convinced he’s got “it,” an indefinable quality that makes one irresistible to the opposite sex. Betty Lou charms her employer on a date, but Cyrus suddenly cools when he hears a false story that Betty Lou has mothered an illegitimate child. Crushed by Cyrus’ assumption, the shopgirl ramps up the sex appeal to win her man back and teach him a lesson. Screens Sunday, Sept. 29th, 2024. Learn more about Silent Film Day here
