If you are into binge watching the latest “hot” television show — say the award season darling “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, or the much anticipated “Picard” — but still want to dig little deeper into the show, Fountain Street Church as an monthly series for you.
Fountain Street Church’s “FSC Screen Club” will continue its 2019/2020 Season, a series hosted at the Micro Cinema at Wealthy Theatre and in partnership with Grand Rapids Community Media Center, with a discussion of Ms. Maisel and her adventures on Monday, Jan. 13.
The FSC Screen Club meets one Monday each month, with the free to the public event starting at 6 p.m. Registration is encouraged, but not required, and can be done here.
Fountain Street Church’s Virginia Anzengruber hosts a panel discussion led by Wealthy Theatre director Sarah Nawrocki and, according to supplied information, features “regional influencers and film & television experts to dissect, analyze, and discuss some of today’s most thought-provoking TV shows.”
“Participants watch the shows at their own pace, on their own schedules. It’s like a book club that you can binge watch.”
The January event will focus on the Emmy Award-winning Amazon Prime series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (“Gilmore Girls”), starring Rachel Brosnahan (“House of Cards”), Tony Shalhoub (“Monk”), and Alex Borstein (“Family Guy”).
“In 1958 New York, Midge Maisel’s life is on track — husband, kids, and elegant Yom Kippur dinners in their Upper West Side apartment,” as it is described in a media release. “But when her life takes a surprise turn, she has to quickly decide what else she’s good at — and going from housewife to stand-up comic is a wild choice to everyone but her.”
The remainder of the FCS Screen Club 2019/2020 season includes discussions as follows: Feb. 10, “The Good Place” (NBC); March 9, “Kidding” (Showtime); April 27, “Picard” (CBS All Access); and May 11, “What We Do In The Shadows” (FX).
All of which give you plenty of time to binge watch and catch up.
Fountain Street Church, located in downtown Grand Rapids, is an independent, pluralist church with a 150-year history of progressive action. for more information visit here.
