Party Time! WAYNE’S WORLD and WAYNE’S WORLD 2 Playing This Saturday at The St. Andrews in St. Charles


“Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?”


WAYNE’S WORLD and WAYNE’S WORLD 2 are screening This Saturday, December 29th, at the St. Andrews Cinema in St. Charles, MO (2025 Golfway St, St Charles, MO 63301). The first film starts at 7:00. Admission for both films is $5. A Facebook invite for the event can be found HERE


In the tradition of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA came WAYNE’S WORLD, a sweeping screen epic bursting with drama…..NOT! WAYNE’S WORLD was the the hilarious, party-down movie of 1992, featuring rockin tunes, radical babes, and your most excellent hosts, Wayne Campbell (Dana Carvey) and Garth Algar (Mike Meyer). When a sleazy TV exec offers Wayne and Garth a fat contract to tape their late night cable access show at his network, the two can’t believe their fortune. But they soon discover the road from basement to big time is a gnarly one, fraught with danger, temptation, and party opportunities.


The next year came the sequel in which the inseparable duo try to organize a rock concert while Wayne must fend off a record producer who has an eye for his girlfriend. Don’t miss your chance to see this pair of films that will have you on your knees, bowing and saying, “We’re not worthy!”

Party time! Excellent! WAYNE’S WORLD Midnights This Weekend at The Tivoli

WAYNE’S WORLD plays midnights this weekend (April 29th and 21st ) at the Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar Boulevard) as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.

In 1992, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar hit the big screen for the first time, and, as film critic Desson Howe wrote in The Washington Post, the result was “schweeeet.” The world already knew Wayne, played by Mike Myers, and Garth, played by Dana Carvey, from their regular “Saturday Night Live” sketch about two heavy-metal-loving men-children with bad hair who host a public access show from Wayne’s wood-paneled basement in Aurora, Ill. “Maybe you have to be puerile, young-hearted and susceptible to jokes about — there’s no other way to put this — sphincters. Well, ‘Wayne’s World’-the-movie is a Roto-Rooter for clogged humor. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll drive home,” Howe noted. The film — which had everyone on their knees, bowing and saying, “We’re not worthy” — made almost $122 million in gross domestic sales. (The 1993 sequel did not do as well, taking in $48 million.)

Now you’ll have the chance to see WAYNE’S WORLD again on the big screen when it plays this weekend midnights ar The Tivoli!

Here’s the rest of this Spring’s ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ schedule:

April 27-28    ROAD WARRIOR

May 4-5         AMELIE

May 11-12      DEEP RED

May 18-19     THE ROOM

May 25-26    HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE

The Tivoli Announces the ‘Reel Late’ Midnight Line-Up – ROAD WARRIOR, DEEP RED, AMELIE, and More!

“Greetings from The Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!”

Another terrific lineup of midnight movies for the ‘Reel Late at The Tivoli’ to kick off the 2018 season. It’s a typically good variety of titles that should draw the late night movie buff crowd with a couple of retro surprises. The Midnight Movie experience has always catered to a college-age crowd and that’s the way it should be. ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW with live shadow cast with the Samurai Electricians ends the new schedule on April 6th and 7th . The oldest film this time is Dario Argento’s DEEP RED (1976) while the most recent is GET OUT from last year. There’s a Miyazaki (HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE) thrown in there for attendance insurance (theses always pack ‘em in), some standards including THE ROOM and WAYNE’S WORLD. I believe ROAD WARRIOR, DEEP RED, and AMELIE are new to the Tivoli midnight roster, and I suspect they will draw good crowds.

I’m there every Friday night with free swag, movie trivia, and prizes!

Tickets are $8 (except for ROCKY HORROR). Here’s the line-up:

April  6-7         ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW  with live shadow cast, Samurai Electricians!
All tickets $10

April 13-14      GET OUT

April 20-21    WAYNE’S WORLD

April 27-28    ROAD WARRIOR

May 4-5         AMELIE

May 11-12      DEEP RED

May 18-19     THE ROOM

May 25-26    HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE

The Tivoli’s located at 6350 Delmar Blvd., University City, MO.

Producer Lorne Michaels, writer-actor Mike Myers, actor Dana Carvey and director Penelope Spheeris will reunite for a panel discussion and screening of “Wayne’s World” on Tuesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The evening will be introduced by Academy President Hawk Koch, who also served as the film’s executive producer.

Myers made his film debut alongside Carvey in this 1992 big-screen version of their “Saturday Night Live” sketch about two metal-head teenagers, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, who host a public access cable TV show called “Wayne’s World” from a basement in Aurora, Illinois.

The film was a smash hit, grossing more than $180 million worldwide. The influence of “Wayne’s World” on popular culture includes several phrases that became everyday expressions, such as “Schwing!” “NOT!” and “We’re not worthy!”

The soundtrack also propelled Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, more than 15 years after its original release.

The new print to be screened is courtesy of the Academy Film Archive and Paramount.

Tickets for “Wayne’s World” are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID, and may be purchased starting April 1 online at www.oscars.org, in person at the Academy box office or by mail. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Samuel Goldwyn Theater is located at 8949 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. All seating is unreserved. For more information, call (310) 247-3600 or visit www.oscars.org.
