Secret Movie Club is all about trying out new cinematic experiences. It can be a silent movie masterpiece with a heavy metal score or it can be the newest movie premiere with the moviemakers present to talk about how they got it done.
As Secret Movie Club finally begins to launch its Fall 2024 season, we have the opportunity to do something crazy, out of the box, and well. . .we think it will be exactly the mid-week party you’ll need.
Do you need some big budget big screen mind-blowing anime, K-Pop, Harajuku euphoria? We got you covered.
Famous Japanese Toho International (who produced many of Akira Kurosawa’s greatest movies and the Godzilla franchise) worked with us last year to screen Godzilla Minus One with its director Takashi Yamazaki (who went on to win the Academy Award!!) for an in-person Q&A.
Now Toho International is giving us the chance to screen the hugely popular anime feature MY HERO ACADEMIA: YOU’RE NEXT at the United Theater, one of Los Angeles’s most beautiful movie palaces, as an Immersive Light Stick cheer screening (or ouen joei) currently all the rage in Japan and Korea.
Do you need to come to a movie palace, watch a huge, big budget sci-fi anime mega-hit movie, and wave a light stick around with your fellow audience members as the sticks light up and synch to mind blowing battle sequences in the movie?
I think you do. My Hero Academia: You’re Next tells one of the big final stories as the world famous anime series moves to its conclusion. A sinister new villain, Dark Might, has learned all the wrong lessons from beloved good hearted superhero All Might. Instead of service, Dark Might sees power as most important. So all your favorite teenage heroes have to use their “Quirks” (or lack of “Quirks”) to fight back. Fan-favorites Deku, Todoroki and Bakugo and more engage in some of the most amazing battle sequences yet animated. And your glow sticks are gonna go crazy.
Look, sometimes you just gotta go to a movie palace, see a huge Japanese anime movie with a bunch of anime friends, wave immersive light sticks in the air, and keep them! Maybe even go to Little Tokyo before or after the movie for some shabu-shabu and Sapporo.
This is going to be a party. We want you there.
Best always,
Craig Hammill

What is a cheer screening? In Japan, cheer screenings (or ouen joei) are fan events that encourage audience participation often through cheering, singing, clapping, and bringing other common concert items like light sticks into the theater. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow fans while experiencing the movie in a concert-like setting.
