Special Events at The Astor

GEOFF AND JANET - still select for festival details CINEMA FIASCO presents ...

"They're back ..." said the little girl from Poltergeist 2.

Yes. Melbourne's favourite movie–commentary comedy duo (OK, so they're the only one ... who cares), Cinema Fiasco returns with three more camp classics from the cinematic closet and their increasingly–familiar brand of merciless motion–picture appreciation.

Join those merry mavens of movie mediocrity, Geoff Wallis and Janet A. McLeod, as they sink their hooks into three corkers from the vaults that will have you clutching your arm–rests in amazement and busting a gut like never before.
