Join us at the movies on Tuesday, August 12 at 10:30 AM as OLLI takes over the Majestic Tempe 7 for a special screening of The Naked Gun, the reboot of the classic slapstick comedy—this time starring Liam Neeson as the hilariously clueless detective Frank Drebin. Packed with absurd gags, physical comedy, and a satirical take on crime procedurals, the film brings fresh energy to a beloved franchise. ASU film professor Dr. Kevin Sandler will kick off the event with opening remarks and lead a dynamic post-film discussion exploring the film’s humor, legacy, and the challenges of reimagining cult classics. This OLLI experience offers a special discount: buy one ticket, get another for free! Share with a friend or family member and don't miss this fun and thought-provoking outing to the movies!

AFTER YOU PURCHASE YOUR TICKET, please email Jared Swerzenski the name of your guest at jared.swerzenski@asu.edu.

The “Fed” is one of the least understood agencies in the federal government, despite wielding enormous power. Developed during the Wilson Administration, the Federal Reserve System has served as the nation's economic stabilizer for over 100 years. Many consider the Chair of the Federal Reserve Board to be the second most powerful person in government. In this course, we will explore the economic history of the United States and examine the tools the Fed uses to influence the economy. By the end of the class, you’ll have a deeper understanding of economics—and we encourage you to share the experience by bringing a friend or family member for free to learn alongside you!

The Declaration of Independence is the most celebrated of America’s founding documents, inspiring movements from the French Revolution to Ho Chi Minh. Both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis claimed to uphold its principles. In this course, we’ll explore the meaning behind Jefferson’s words—equality, liberty, happiness—and examine the Declaration’s ties to classical and Enlightenment thought. We’ll also consider how valid the claim was that King George III was a tyrant. Dr. Dudley, adjunct professor at Northern Virginia Community College and author of The Free and the Virtuous, will guide our discussion. Bring a friend or family member to join the conversation—guests are welcome to attend for free!
