Major League

Thursday • January 29 • 7:00pm
Throwback Thursday at The Iowa Theater

For this, the last Throwback Thursday film in January, we get one more healthy dose of hijinks and shenanigans!

Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen and Wesley Snipes, Major League is a raucous sports comedy about a ragtag Cleveland Indians team thrown together to fail—only to find unexpected chemistry and pride. As egos clash and underdogs rise, the players rally against a cynical owner and rediscover the joy of the game. It’s crude, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt, with victory coming from grit rather than glory. 1989, Rated R, 1 hr, 47 min

Winterset (the movie)

January 30 & 31 • 7:00pm, February 1 • 2:00pm
The Iowa Theater

Just in case you missed it the first time around, the latest movie filmed here in our little burb is coming back this weekend for three more showings.

In the town of Winterset, Iowa, three poor farmers decide to recruit a city slicker to help them pull off a heist: stealing bags of cash from a wealthy ranch owner. The plan quickly goes awry when the money’s true owner, a dangerous individual, shows up to reclaim the cash. The film is directed and written by Michael P. Blevins and stars Martine Beerman, Robert Coppage, and Robert Craighead. Not rated (but from what I’ve heard…Rated R), 1hr, 55min

Live Wild Speaker Series: Sasquatch

Tuesday • February 3 • 6:00-7:00pm
Madison County Conservation Center, Pammel Park

The LIVE WILD 2026 Speaker Series will be happening on the first TUESDAY of each month all year long! In February, get ready for THE SCIENCE and STORIES OF SASQUATCH!

If Sasquatch doesn’t exist, then why doesn’t it simply go away? People are seeing, hearing, and smelling a large unidentified bipedal animal with consistent physical features, including here in Iowa. As scientists from multiple disciplines attempt to explain away this myth, the evidence builds to support a living dynamic population of primates. We will explore several stories and the science of this fascinating animal.

Speaker Mike Havlik of Dallas County Conservation Board is a passionate naturalist, gonzo birder and amateur musician. Questions? Email Jessie at jlowry@madisoncounty.iowa.gov
