WAYNE’S WORLD

PENELOPE SPHEERIS | USA | 1992 | 95 MIN

All Throwback Thursday Quizzo & Movie Events are 21+ Only.

This screening will feature live music 30 minutes prior to start time.

One of the most successful movies ever spawned from the Saturday Night Live universe, Penelope Spheeris’s riotous buddy comedy is the saga of affable doofuses Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey), metalheads who broadcast a public-access TV show from a basement in suburban Chicago. When the show catches the eye of a smooth-talking network executive (Rob Lowe), the two are forced to defend their integrity and the show, all while Wayne romances a foxy rocker (Tia Carrere).

Cast: Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Rob Lowe, Tia Carrere

“As Wayne or Garth would say, it’s schweeeet.” –The Washington Post


The Philadelphia Film Society presents Throwback Thursday Quizzo & Movie! 

Do you like trivia, nostalgia films, and drink? Then get your friends together to form an awesome Quizzo team (witty squad name required) and put your film and pop culture knowledge to the test at PFS’ monthly Quizzo & Movie!

Every First Thursday of the month, come out to the Philadelphia Film Center for a screening of a crowd-pleasing modern classic preceded by a few rounds Quizzo where all questions are about or inspired by that night’s movie. During the film, we will tally up the scores and reveal the winning team as the credits roll. The first-place team and runners-up will win prizes and bragging rights!
