A group of lively senior citizens meet bi-weekly in Hollywood for over 35 years to watch and celebrate classic American films. A nostalgic documentary about friendship, classic movies, growing old, and living life to the fullest.

For over 35 years, Woody and the Cliffhangers meet to watch a double-feature (with a break between the features to watch a cliffhanger serial) and also to have lunch. They talk about everything under the sun: movies, family, wives, stars, surgeries, their health, their diet, their entertainment, their retirements, their kids, their pets, their lives, their loves (and although the rules state that one cannot talk about religion or politics) they end up talking about that, too. Their unique personalities, and individual life stories are just as interesting as the movies they watch . . . We hope you will join us in the support of this special film that celebrates tradition, friendship, nostalgia and films ~ The good ol' fashion way, with some good ole' fashioned gentlemen. They definitely don't make 'em like they used to!—Inda Reid

BROTHERHOOD OF THE POPCORN is an inspiring, nostalgic human interest documentary about friendship, classic films, growing old, and living life to the fullest. It is a heart warming story about a group of lively senior citizens who call themselves, 'The Cliffhangers.' The group meets bi-weekly on Saturdays at theater in Hollywood for over 35 years to watch and celebrate the classic American films of Hollywood. Our narrator and originator of the club, Woody Wise guides us through his home (formerly a building on Bette Davis' estate) on a typical Saturday; where the Cliffhangers meet, have breakfast, watch a double-feature, a cliffhanger serial, and also have lunch. They talk about everything under the sun: movies, family, wives, stars, surgeries, their health, their diet, their retirements, their kids, their pets, their loves (and although the rules state that members cannot talk about religion or politics) they somehow end up talking about that, too. Told through the lens of their unique personalities, it becomes apparent that their individual life stories and struggles are just as interesting as the movies they watch! This documentary demonstrates how each of their lives was shaped by the 'Saturday Matinee' of yester-year, the era they grew up in, and the history of Hollywood and it's movies. The film also explores film preservation, the progression of animation, film projectors, silent films, theater organs and movie theaters. BROTHERHOOD OF THE POPCORN is chock full of antique stock footage of Hollywood, the major studios, film sets, and movie stars and is sure to make every movie-lover's heart rate skip a beat or two. We hope you enjoy this special film that celebrates tradition, friendship, nostalgia and films ~ The good ole' fashion way, with some good ole' fashioned gentlemen. They definitely don't make 'em like they used to!—The Producers
