Mikey and Nicky

Alamo Drafthouse Village is screening Mikey and Nicky on Monday, August 10, at 7 PM. It's a single-feature showing of the film, so the whole night is built around one movie rather than a double bill.

If you're not familiar with the venue, the Village is the longest continuously operated Drafthouse in the chain. It opened in 2001 on Anderson Lane, back before the neighborhood became as trendy as it is now. It's a four-screen cinema that handles first-run features with Sony 4K digital projection, but it also does 35mm screenings, and much of the American Genre Film Archive is housed on-site. A recent revamp added new padded chairs and shared tables for food and drink from the Drafthouse menu, which is delivered to your seat during the show. There's also a new patio for outdoor drinking before or after the film. The theater has won the Austin Chronicle Readers Poll Movie Theatre award every year from 2001 through 2025.

Mikey and Nicky is a 1965 comedy written and directed by Brian G. Jones, and it's a great fit for a theater that keeps a foot in the world of genre and archival film. The story follows two small-time crooks who get mixed up in a series of misunderstandings and double-crosses, played with a certain frantic energy that works well on a big screen. It's the kind of movie that feels right in a place like the Village, where the focus is on the film itself and the experience of watching it with a crowd.

The screening is on Monday, August 10, at 7 PM at Alamo Drafthouse Village, 2700 W. Anderson #701, Austin, TX 78757. You can order food and drinks from the menu to be brought to your seat while the movie is running.
