September 20 is Batman Day and we're teaming up with Nirvana Comics to celebrate with Joel Schumacher's BATMAN FOREVER, which took the Tim Burton-launched franchise in a campy, colorful new direction and handed the cowl over to Val Kilmer. Join us as we re-evaluate this dizzy entertainment machine for its 30th anniversary, accompanied as usual by giveaways, trivia and bonus video goodies from Gotham's immense screen legacy! BATMAN FOREVER (1995, 4K) | Batman (Val Kilmer) faces off against two foes: the schizophrenic, horribly scarred former District Attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), and the Riddler (Jim Carrey), a disgruntled ex-Wayne Enterprises inventor seeking revenge against his former employer by unleashing his brain-sucking weapon on Gotham City's residents. As the caped crusader also deals with tortured memories of his parents' murder, he has a new romance, with psychologist Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman).

A teenager in suburban Florida desperately hustles to make $5,000 in this dreamy and surreal animated coming-of-age story.
The long-awaited release of Macon Blair's TOXIC AVENGER remake (see it at Central Cinema through September 10!) already had us itching to revisit the 1984 Troma Films original, which still holds our record for audience walkouts when we showed it back in 2019. (What did y'all think you were getting into? Come on now.) But an unexpected announcement in July sealed the deal as Troma unveiled MR. MELVIN, a reconstruction combining the film's two 1989 sequels into the single tasteless epic originally conceived by Troma honchos Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz. So with help from our dear friends @nirvanacomicsknoxville (big fans of Toxie's rich comic book history) and @frankencontn (who'll be hosting OG castmembers Mark Torgl and Gary Schneider at their 2026 event) we're thrilled to invite you on a blood-splattered trip to Tromaville, featuring a truly toxic double feature of the original classic and MR. MELVIN, which will be making its (as far as we know) Tennessee premiere... plus Troma trivia, prizes and more! THE TOXIC AVENGER (1984) | Among the residents of Tromaville is Melvin, a nerdy janitor at the local health club. A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong and Melvin is cast through a third story window into a vat of toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into the Toxic Avenger, doer of good, and brutal mauler of evil! The excitement is non-stop as Toxie sets out to single handedly wipe out the forces of evil that torment the people of Tromaville. MR. MELVIN (2025) | After ridding Tromaville of evil, Melvin Junko, the Toxic Avenger, has nothing left to fight. Evil has been vanquished, his mop is clean, and his heart feels… empty. Depressed and emotionally adrift, a psychiatrist with questionable motives encourages him to reconnect with his long-lost father in Japan. But this heartfelt journey is merely a charade, as Apocalypse Inc. lures Toxie overseas in order to blast him with Anti-Tromatons, corrupting his superhuman senses. Blinded to the forces of evil, Toxie returns home and becomes a corporate puppet for infernal forces bent on enslaving Tromaville… and the world! Can the Toxic Avenger reclaim his soul and save Tromaville once again, or is the hero of the people doomed to become the very monster he always feared?
