#defconmovienight keeps the holiday magic going with another John Cusack vehicle. Join us Saturday at 8pm PST for 'Better Off Dead'. We'll be in the movie-night-text channel of the Discord (discord.gg/defcon), calculating the street value of K-12. Closest guess without going over wins some Fronch Toast.

#defconmovienight presents another Xmas-adjacent movie this week. Join us at 8pm PST Saturday for ‘The Ice Harvest’. We’ll be in the movie-night-text channel of the #defcon Discord (discord.gg/defcon) and we’ll enjoy a little holiday magic together. BTW - the tagline ‘Thick Thieves.
