Thelma - April 16

Seniors, join us on Thursday, April 16, at 10:30am for a free morning movie matinee featuring Thelma! Enjoy a complimentary selection of coffee, breakfast pastries, and popcorn while you watch the film, then stay afterward for a lunch of pizza, salad, and dessert if you’d like!

The best parody movies are the ones that still manage to be good movies in their own right. One of last year's breakout hits, Josh Margolin’s Thelma, does that incredibly well. Yes, it is a spoof of a Mission: Impossible type movie, but it is a genuinely good action movie all on its own.

Thelma (June Squibb) is a 90-plus-year-old grandmother living on her own. Her aimless Gen Z grandson, Daniel (Fred Hechinger), comes over regularly to care for her regularly, so when she gets a call that Daniel was in an accident and he needs money to bail him out of jail, she immediately sends the money to the address that is provided. Her daughter Gail (Parker Posey) and son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg) assure her that Daniel is fine, but it is too late. Thelma decides that she wants her money back, so she convinces her friend Ben (Richard Roundtree) to join her in bringing down the scammers who took her money.
