DCMC Genre Circle: Welcome to the Multiverse

"Even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, we get very good with our feet."

What would you do if you were confronted by other versions of your world? Other versions of yourself? Join DC Movie Club for our next monthly discussion: "Welcome to the Multiverse."

We'll be watching (at home on your own) the two most well known multiverse films: Everything Everywhere All at Once and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. 

We'll dive into the themes of multiverse settings: what do alternate worlds (and alternate persons) say about what could be and could have been? What are the actual stakes if there are infinite versions of every place and everyone?

Newcomers welcome! You're invited even if you've never been to a movie club event before. Seasoned movie club member? Invite a friend or two to join in the fun and check out all things DCMC.

To give a chance for more people from Movie Club to participate in small-scale genre circle events, tickets are first available to those who haven't been to a genre circle before. If you register and have been to an earlier genre circle, we will refund your ticket. If there are spots available as the date approaches, we will open up spots for those who have attended in the past.

Please only purchase a ticket if you intend to come. We are unable to offer refunds for tickets - the small fee goes to the administrative costs of running this event and DC Movie Club. If for some reason you purchased a ticket and can no longer attend, please reach out so we can offer your spot to another. Thank you for your understanding!

FAQ:

Q: What exactly is a genre circle?
A: Think of it as a book club… but for movies, and focused on a single genre or theme. Instead of our typical large form, open ended happy hour type events, a genre circle is a small, discussion-driven gathering where members can connect more deeply, share perspectives, and nerd out over the finer points of the month’s topic.

Q: Where do I go when I get there?
A: This event will be located in the reception area at Angelika Pop-Up Theater. Look to the right once you're in the door and you can't miss us. Keep an eye out for a sign and friendly faces!

Q: What if I’ve never been to a movie club event before?
A: Perfect! Genre circles are intentionally designed to be welcoming to newcomers as a smaller, less overwhelming space to discuss beloved movies. The groups are small, so you’ll get to know people quickly, and there’s no pop quiz on obscure trivia—just good conversation and shared enthusiasm for movies.

Q: Why is the capacity so limited?
A: The whole point of genre circles is to have intimate discussions where everyone gets a chance to speak. Smaller groups make for richer conversation and a more comfortable atmosphere. Think cozy dinner party, not crowded premiere. If you end up buying a ticket and can no longer make it, please reach out so we can release your ticket to someone on the waitlist!

Q: What do I need to bring?
A: Just yourself! If you're so inspired, feel free to bring any burning questions about the films, about Movie Club, etc. Angelika has a full bar/limited snacks if you are so inclined.

Q: When should I arrive?
The genre circle will start promptly at 7 to make sure people are outta there by 8:30. We encourage you to show up a bit early (6:30ish?) to meet the other attendees, grab a snack/beverage, and get settled. The event host will be there to greet you and answer any questions you may have!
