Join us on Wednesday, September 16th at 6:45pm for The Iron Giant (1999) at the Majestic Neighborhood Cinema in Tempe (address here)! Come see a thrilling tale from an alternate 1950s where a young boy finds a massive robot from outer space. Chicanery is afoot as the duo take on the government and its disciples.
This film will be introduced by Joshua Vasquez. His work has focused on confluences of melancholy and masculinity throughout a range of American genre film from the silent period into the first decades of the 21st century. He has published on representations of race in the British science fiction series Doctor Who and on literary genre usage in William S. Burrough’s novel “Naked Lunch.” Josh’s current research is centered on intersections of comedy and melancholy in film and performance.
