We're closing out May-tropolis: Cities of the Future series with Francis Ford Coppola's decades in the making epic, MEGALOPOLIS, Saturday, May 30th at 7:30pm.

Fun fact: you really can't watch this anywhere else. It's not on streaming at this time, so this may be your only chance for quite a while -- join us at Cesar Catilina's, won't you?

MEGALOPOLIS is a Roman Epic set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor's daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.

Trash Vault, The Roxy Theater’s love letter to the Criterion Collection dumpster, presented by , returns with horror-fave Clint Howard in EVILSPEAK, Friday, May 29th at 8:00pm.

Clint Howard goes all in as a nebbish military school cadet who uses an Apple II with 4K of RAM, a skull-smashing broadsword and a horde of bloodthirsty devil pigs to exact revenge! Horror movies about teens with supernatural powers are nothing new, but EVILSPEAK adds the juicy novelty of WARGAMES-era home computing into the mix. Add in some of the Eighties’ tastiest gore scenes and the battiest treatment of a cute puppy in cinema history, and you’ve got the kind of tasteless, utterly watchable celluloid gold they just don’t make anymore.

History professor George (Richard Burton) and his boozy wife, Martha (Elizabeth Taylor), return late one Saturday night from a cocktail party at the home of the college president, Martha's father.

When the younger couple arrive, the night erupts into a no-holds-barred torrent of marital angst and verbal tirades.
