The movie club will meet at the AMC for the 4:30 pm showing of Bumblebee (rated PG-13, 114 minutes long).

On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie, on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug.

We’ll head to Perkins afterwards for discussion.

The movie and restaurant are pay-your-own-way.
