Relax and take notes, Motion Picture Pop Quiz is a movie screening party with a trivia twist! While the film is being screened, a panel of 3 movie buffs will be crafting questions to pose to viewers. The questions can range from simple and straightforward(What is the main character's name?) to obscure and specific(How many cars were in the parking lot at the police station?).

There will be two intermissions where questions will be asked. The more questions that you answer correctly, the more chances you have to get picked for the grand prize drawing of $100! Second and third place winners will receive weekday movie passes to Nitehawk Cinema!

If this sounds too hard, Don't worry! Motion Picture Pop Quiz is an open note test. Upon entering the screening room you will be handed a notebook and pen so that you can take detailed notes which you can refer back to during the questioning rounds. Feel free to share notes with friends and strangers, or keep them to yourself in order to increase your odds of winning! If all else fails, food and drink purchases will also earn you entries into the final drawing!

We will be screening the cult horror classic The Brain That Wouldn't Die! A tale of a mad scientist who refuses to let go of the past and takes it upon himself to play god.

The Brain That Wouldn't Die defies easy categorization because while it follows the conventions of a traditional mad scientist thriller, the characters and the dialogue are so outre that it seems more like some crazy off-Broadway "Theatre of the Absurd" production.

All in all, The Brain that Wouldn't Die comes across as a movie made by lunatics whose moments of lucidity are even more alarming than the incoherent rantings they punctuate.

On the surface it appears to be nothing more than a cheesy, sleazy 1960s b-movie, but Brain shows a shameless and deranged imagination that pushes it into the realm of the genuinely strange.
