Double Feature
Valley Girl
It’s a preppies-vs-punkers, suburbs-vs-Hollywood heart thumper as this Romeo and Juliet prom-com perfectly captures the slang-riddled radness of SoCal life in the ‘80s as seen through director Martha Coolidges’ slyly satirical lens. A young, seriously hot Nicolas Cage plays Valley Girl princess Deborah Foreman’s opposites-attract punk object of desire. But can their new wave romance survive societal pressures and shallow friends? Like, oh my god, totally fer sure! Electric chemistry between the two leads, a tubular supporting cast (E.G. Daily! Michael Bowen!) and pitch-perfect dialog make this Los Angeles love adventure a timeless classic. And the fab soundtrack will have you bopping along to Sparks, Modern English and other bitchen KROQ hits!

Modern Girls
Never stand in line. Never pay for your own drinks. Never stand next to a dweeb. Set out on a wild nightlong nightlife adventure across the vibrant ‘80s Los Angeles scene, following a group of hot & hip roommates and one of their stood-up dates on a rollercoaster odyssey of rock stars, police raids, dumped DJs, and more. Modern Girls is a hilarious and underseen pop art mashup of stunning looks & fashion, club energy, and tunes, that stars Cynthia Gibb, Virginia Madsen, Daphne Zuniga, and Clayton Rohner.
