Sing-Along!
Belt out your holiday spirit … or your holiday
frustrations. Either way, you'll feel better as you croon along to
all-time favorites like “TRADITION,” “IF I WERE A RICH MAN,” “TO LIFE,”
“SUNRISE SUNSET,” “DO YOU LOVE ME?” and “ANATEVKA,” among many others.
We
encourage you to come in costume! Guaranteed fun for all. Children are
welcome (Fiddler is rated "G") though some themes may be challenging for
young children.
Prices this year start at $16 for General
Admission and $13 for Premiere Card holders. Typically, Fiddler sells
out … so don't miss the buggy!'
Mega64's annual food eating contest is ready for a Christmas watch. It's as charming as it is gross (there is vomiting). It's a crazy live event, now formatted down so you can enjoy, but probably go in on a light stomach. Probably one of our favorite Christmas traditions, hopefully they do bring back HanukkahCast, which had some fun Jewish nosh and games.
Coming out daily is a day-by-day break down dubbed Mega64's MLK Week Compilation "The Room". This was a horrible endeavor by Rocco, of the above comedy/gamer group Mega64. He essentially was stuck in a room live on Twitch for all of MLK week this year. He was at the mercy of the Internet and it was unkind. Constant memes and songs jutted out on the screen with a huge speaker he could not turn off and other chaos almost instantly drove Rocco mad. Now, you can watch it compiled into an hour for each day he was stuck inside "the room".

Long misunderstood as one of Hollywood’s most catastrophic failures, director John Boorman’s Exorcist II: The Heretic receives a second look in this fascinating chronicle of its journey to the big screen.
*Oddly, in other screenings the usually get the film Exorcist II: The Heretic to watch after the doc, so you watch it with a sense of the work put into it. Watching it on its own, Heretic is gonna be a very silly movie.
GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIESam Rockwell leads an all-star cast in this gonzo time-traveling adventure to save the world from AI-driven apocalypse, as directed by visionary populist filmmaker Gore Verbinski.
After being laid off and struggling to secure employment, a desperate family man decides that the only way to land a new job is to take out the competition—literally. Winner: International People’s Choice Award, TIFF.
*You can just say the Parasite of 2026.
A young girl’s inexplicable newfound telepathy dumbfounds her middle-class parents in this darkly comic and often blistering portrait of the nuclear family.
Featuring captivating performances from Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Colman Domingo, and Al Pacino, Gus Van Sant’s latest recreates the strange, fascinating true story of the 1977 kidnapping that made aspiring Indianapolis entrepreneur Tony Kiritsis into an eccentric outlaw folk hero.

In this endearing documentary, global porridge-makers descend upon the Scottish Highlands to compete in a legendary tournament to determine who can cook the best bowl of slow-cooked oats in the world.
*Oh, easy watching on a Sunday. One of those docs you just chill out on Netflix. Sadly, the showtimes for this one blow.
In 1990s Iraq, two children tasked by their tyrannical teacher with providing desserts to celebrate Saddam Hussein’s birthday set out on a chaotic quest to source the ingredients.
Hanukkah has already started, but fellow Jews still have something to do next week for Christmas. The annual Sing-Along 'Fiddler on the Roof' at multiple Laemmle's and for the younger Jews looking for love the Matzoball LA 2025. Everyone's really welcome to the Fiddler on the Roof screenings, but it be kind of weird trying to get Jewish tail when you're not circumcised or didn't have a Bat Mitzvah.
