IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS at Verbatim Books [7/25/26]
We lost an icon earlier this month, but, as we’ve said many times now here at Popcorn Reef, legends live forever through film.
If it’s still been on your bucket list to see Mr. Sam Neill's performance in John Carpenter’s still shockingly underrated mid-90s classic IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, we hope you don’t have Comi-Con plans on Saturday, July 25th.
We’re bringing the party down to North Park for a special screening of the film at our favorite bookstore, Verbatim Books, which will serve as both a celebration of life of one of the most consistent screen actors of the last 50 years, and also as a book, within a book…within a book, meta film experience that you’ll never forget 😎
SGT. KABUKIMAN N.Y.P.D. with Lloyd Kaufman In-Person at Regal Mira Mesa [7/29/26]
A major Troma classic we’ve been obsessed with forever is Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz's 1990 masterpiece, SGT. KABUKIMAN N.Y.P.D. So we asked Lloyd to join us at our favorite movie theater, Regal Mira Mesa, for a second time, and the result will be an evening you’ll never forget.
Aside from being a quintessential early 90s vibe flick that retrospectively feels like a fever dream you would have had as a kid and were never quite able to let go of, SGT. KABUKIMAN is also significant in movie history because it laid down several foundations for the modern comic book film, and it did it independently, rawly, and genuinely.
