WHAT’S IN A GAME

The Sega Genesis Revival Starts... Now

Cafeina is doing a ’90s game night on Thursdays now. A DJ will be providing an era-appropriate soundtrack while you partake in $5 pours of beer and a few rounds on the resident Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis systems. In conclusion: ha.

You and a Date and Some Popcorn and Footloose
’LOOSE CANON

You and a Date and Some Popcorn and <em>Footloose</em>

Once, there was a small town where music was banned. Then, Kevin Bacon came along and angry-danced his way through a warehouse, which resulted in Chris Penn mastering the robot. The film you’ll be watching on the sand during Hyde’s next movie night should fill in the gaps, but yeah.

Saturday
This Is a Pretty Weird Game
REMOTE CONTROL
