April's Mystery Movie

 

TONIGHT'S SCREENING IS SOLD OUT

You guys, this is getting out of hand. So far this year, we've sold out every month! Bananas.

This month's move theme: Did you know that Aztec people are alive on this continent today? Also, did you know that they're largely responsible for one of the best cuisines on our food-filled planet? From Wikipedia: "Mexican cuisine continues to be based on staple elements of Mesoamerican cooking and, particularly, of Aztec cuisine: corn, chili, beans, squash, tomato, avocado. Many of these staple products continue to be known by their Nahuatl names, carrying in this way ties to the Aztec people who introduced these foods [...] to the world. Through spread of ancient Mesoamerican food elements, particularly plants, Nahuatl loan words (chocolate, tomato, chili, avocado, tamale, taco, pupusa, chipotle, pozole, atole) have been borrowed [...] into other languages around the world." Just checking...

Hints: Pretty sure this month's movie was made by people who didn't know any of the above. (And I know I have the internet, but if all that is true now, it was true then too.) This month's movie is also weird on nearly every front it could be, so maybe Aztec culture isn't the only subject they could use a refresher on.

Content Warnings: The action in this movie is mainly driven by misconceptions of Aztec culture. 

If you have additional concerns/questions about this month's film, feel free to reach out through facebook, or email info@TimMonsters.com and Tim or I will happily address any concerns, big or small. We want fun surprises for everyone!

Mutual Aid Suggestion: This one is super easy, take yourself out for Mexican food, and tip HUGE. We are so extremely spoiled with excellent Mexican food in the metro, and not unlike other ethnic cuisines, the prices we pay for that food doesn't line up with the amount of effort and skill that goes into making it for the masses πŸ’–πŸ“ΌπŸ’–
