As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
September 23rd–Argylle (2024) Reclusive author Elly Conway writes best-selling espionage novels about a secret agent named Argylle who's on a mission to unravel a global spy syndicate. However, when the plots of her books start to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, the line between fiction and reality begin to blur.

September 9th– Classic Comedy Hour– Green Acres (1965) Starts at 1:30 pm after Trivia. New York lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert) longs for a simpler way of life. So he buys a farm, sight unseen, and moves there to live off the land, much to the chagrin of his socialite wife, Lisa (Eva Gabor). The collision of small-town life and Lisa's sophisticated ways -- she insists on wearing full-length gowns and ostentatious jewelry, even on the farm -- provide much of the humor in the show.
September 16th–The Fall Guy (2024) After leaving the business one year earlier, battle-scarred stuntman Colt Seavers springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
September 23rd–Argylle (2024) Reclusive author Elly Conway writes best-selling espionage novels about a secret agent named Argylle who's on a mission to unravel a global spy syndicate. However, when the plots of her books start to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, the line between fiction and reality begin to blur.

Monday Movie Matinee
Monday Sep 30, 2024 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM
For September, we’re show movies released this year 2024!
September 9th– Classic Comedy Hour– Green Acres (1965) Starts at 1:30 pm after Trivia. New York lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert) longs for a simpler way of life. So he buys a farm, sight unseen, and moves there to live off the land, much to the chagrin of his socialite wife, Lisa (Eva Gabor). The collision of small-town life and Lisa's sophisticated ways -- she insists on wearing full-length gowns and ostentatious jewelry, even on the farm -- provide much of the humor in the show.
September 16th–The Fall Guy (2024) After leaving the business one year earlier, battle-scarred stuntman Colt Seavers springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
September 23rd–Argylle (2024) Reclusive author Elly Conway writes best-selling espionage novels about a secret agent named Argylle who's on a mission to unravel a global spy syndicate. However, when the plots of her books start to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, the line between fiction and reality begin to blur.
September 30th– Unfrosted (2024)– In 1963, Kellogg's and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever. Starring Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy and Amu Schumer.
