If we’re lucky, we’ll see some wild turkeys! All fitness levels welcome! WQC nature walks are LGBTQIA+ spaces, but allies are welcome. Note: this trail is not mobility scooter or pet accessible.

Dog Walk at Franklin Park Conservatory

Dog Walk - come enjoy the beautiful grounds at Franklin Park Conservatory with or without your dog! We’ll meet on the path near the entrance. Paths are paved and nicely maintained but sunny! The loop I take is approx. 2mi around. There are plenty of shortcuts back if that’s too far or we can take it twice if the dogs are up to it. Please keep all dogs leashed as per park rules, thanks!

Oscar Watch: WILD HORSE NINE at the Drexel Theatre!

Join us as we get together to see a dark-comedy-dramatic-thriller and that rare combination of films that’s a heavy Oscar contender and wildly entertaining, WILD HORSE NINE! The film is written/directed by Martin McDonagh and follows a pair of CIA agents as they face a trust-testing mission from Santiago to Easter Island during 1973 in Chile. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat, two CIA officers are sent from Santiago to Easter Island. Among the island's iconic statues, the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, while one’s newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone's trip to this remote paradise sideways. The film is written/directed by Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, The Banshees of Inisherin) and stars John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits and Parker Posey. TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haw_sznA5aQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haw_sznA5aQ) BUZZ & ACCLAIM: Wild Horse Nine premiered to a rapturous response at this year’s Venice International Film Festival where John Malkovich won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor! It is earning a stellar 94% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it “intelligent, superb filmmaking” with an “expert blend of poignant drama and blistering dark comedy” and featuring some of the best performances ever “by Malkovich, Rockwell and Buscemi.” This is one of those rare movies that's actually fun and entertaining, smart and moving, and poised to be a major player at next year's Oscars! DINNER PLAN: For dinner, we’ll switch it up this time and go with dinner at the Rusty Bucket BEFORE the show! Meet at the restaurant at 5:15pm and we’ll have a section reserved for the group! MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area at 6:45pm! If you can, recommend purchasing your ticket before dinner to avoid the line! When you purchase yours, be sure to mention you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts. For parking, the lot near Brassica will put your car exactly mid-way between the theater and restaurant! (Side-note: The sidewalk between the restaurant/theater is finally open again!) Can't wait, Dan
