For many years, Justin Savage produced a free movie and show event at the former Discoteca club and later at Sluggo’s. He’s bringing the monthly film screening and music shows back beginning tonight at the Palace Theater on Georgia Avenue.

“For a mere $5, you get an in-your-face movie and in-your-face rock show and beer,” Savage says.

The featured film this month will be “The Damned: Don’t You Wish That We Were Dead,” which will be followed by music by local group The Ghetto Blasters, featuring Savage, Terry Clouse, Patrick Wilkey and Buddha.

Savage says the events will take place the last Sunday of each month and “will feature something cool each time. It might be music or a double feature or something. We just want people to come out and have a good time.”
