1024: THOR CON & Rocky (1976)

Thor's Hour of Thunder

We conclude our Philadelphia-themed month, "City of Brotherly Shove", with the quintesential Philly movie. After years of Thor teasing a potential in-person gathering, over a dozen people met up over a weekend to explore: the most historic square mile in the US, one of America’s largest and oldest public markets, America's first zoo, The Mütter Museum, The Colonial Theatre, and of course, Wawa.

Cover-art: Scarlet Witch designed the beautiful pantheon member pins and Thor Con program. If you are interested in a limited-edition swag tote bag designed by Thor, e-mail [e-mail].

Philadelphia-area episodes from past years include: 787: The Blob, 822: 1776, 952: National Treasure, and 971: 12 Monkeys. Joe from Films at First Sight took us on a Blob walking tour of Phoenixville PA and the famous Colonial Theatre, which will be discussed in an upcoming episode.

Join us next month as we tip our cowboy hats to westerns, starting with El Topo (1970).
