BLACK CHRISTMAS for Christmas in July with The Fear Archive Executive Producer Cassie Jozefov In-Person at Regal Mira Mesa [7/15/26]
It’s starting to heat up around here, San Diego, so we’ve decided to cool things off. On July 15th, join us for our first ever Christmas in July celebration, as we bring Bob Clark’s all time classic back to the big screen for one of its first ever reclining seat auditorium play dates. It’s BLACK CHRISTMAS, like you’ve never seen it before, at Regal Mira Mesa, on a hot summer night! Take a break from your summer vibes, and get ready for the holiday season early. We’re dying to see you.
But wait, there’s more! We’ve got The Fear Archive executive producer Cassie Jozefov joining us post-film to discuss the chilling reality behind the viral BLACK CHRISTMAS podcast episode that’s been making waves over the past few months. Get your questions ready, because we’ll cover all things BLACK CHRISTMAS film-wise, and everything related to the 1986 crimes in Massachusetts that may have been inspired by the film.
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.
