Is the end of semester bringing you down? Wishing you could go back to the start of semester and tell yourself to work harder? Join Spocksoc for a well-earned break as we ride through time with Legends of Tomorrow

After seeing what doom the future holds, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter realizes heroes alone are not enough to prevent the impending catastrophe that threatens not only the planet, but all of time itself. Tasked with recruiting both heroes and villains, Rip brings together a ragtag team of divergent talents, which includes White Canary, Firestorm, the Atom, Hawkgirl, Captain Cold and Heat Wave. As always, we will be meeting in Macaulay Theatre on Friday at 5pm and doing a pizza run at 7pm

Two groups of heroes, standing face to face. As two superhero franchises wage their war, Spocksoc is not taking sides. Weather you back the world of mutants or the plight of the Avengers, Spocksoc has it all. This week, upgrade your clearance to join the forces of secret agents and enhanced Inhumans with Agents of SHIELD

For those of you who have never seen the show (or are not clearance level 7), following the alien invasion of New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) sets up a small team to investigate superhuman and super villain activity. Coulson’s team must now cope with the widespread emergence of Inhumans, while old enemies seek to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. for good. We will be starting at 5pm in Macaulay Theatre and doing a pizza run at 7pm

To keep the balance, we also have our Midnight Screening of X-men: Apocalypse on tomorrow night (Wednesday 18th). Worshiped as a god since the dawn of civilization, the immortal Apocalypse becomes the first and most powerful mutant. Awakening after thousands of years, he recruits the disheartened Magneto and other mutants to create a new world order. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Professor X and Raven lead a team of young X-Men to stop their seemingly invincible nemesis from destroying mankind. If you need to catch up on all or your young X-men movies, with a special X-men marathon, including X-men: First Class followed by X-men: Days of Future Past at the Ritz. If you can’t make it to our midnight screening, we have another screening on Tuesday 24th. Check the Facebook events below to get updates on screening times as they come

Strap in for another week of Spocksoc, as we follow the daring exploits of Dutch, John Jaqobis and D’avin Jaqobis in another new show: Killjoys

A trio of bounty hunters, known as Killjoys, chases deadly warrants through the Quad, a distant area that is near the start of a violent class war among multiple planets. Gorgeous but deadly Dutch is a top-level Killjoy who has a unique gift for earning people’s trust, regardless of their class. The much-loved Killjoy harbors a dark secret. Kindhearted John is a peacemaker who prefers not to fight. Handsome, loyal former soldier D’avin is experienced in hand-to-hand combat, which makes him a valuable asset to the team.

For those who cannot get enough marvel, Spocksoc will be hosting a movie outing to see Captain America: Civil War at the Ritz Cinema this Tuesday. Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow and Hawkeye must pick a side. We will be going to the 6:30 screening and having dinner afterwards. Find us upstairs near cinemas 3&4.

This Friday, Spocksoc will be returning to the secret underworld of the Fae in Lost Girl

Bo is a succubus who grew up in an adoptive human family, unaware of her non-human nature and of the Fae world. Her succubus powers only become apparent to her when she accidentally killed her first love by draining him of his life energy, an act which forced her to flee her home. In the pilot episode, Bo saves a human girl named Kenzi; the two quickly become friends and Kenzi decides they should team up to create a Fae/Human detective agency. Confronted by the Fae elders with having to choose a side (“Light” or “Dark”), Bo declares herself neutral, deciding to side with humans. As always, we will be meeting in Macaulay Theatre on Friday at 5pm and doing a pizza run at 7pm.
