Penn Cinema cancels Mastriano film premiere; producer threatens lawsuit

A Manheim Township movie theater has canceled the premiere of “Return of the American Patriot,” a film featuring several prominent right-wing Pennsylvania figures, most notably State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who is the Republican candidate for governor.

The movie was scheduled to premiere July 16 at the IMAX theater in the Penn Cinema on Airport Road in Manheim Township but was canceled by the venue following pushback from members of Lancaster Stands Up.

“We did have plans with the group, but once we learned of the nationalist populist agenda, we canceled the event,” Penn Cinema said in a message to a Lancaster Stands Up member, Suzy Wurtz, which was posted online.

Wurtz said she reached out to the Cinema as a concerned mom worried about Christian Nationalists trying to "set up shop" in the county.

A preview of the film featured interviews with Mastriano and other right-wing figures in Pennsylvania like Audit the Vote cofounder Toni Shuppe and FreePA founder Tabitha Valleau.

The trailer billed the film as an exploration of the populist right movement in Pennsylvania, comparing that movement to the American Revolution and castigating contemporary Democratic leaders, like Gov. Tom Wolf, as tyrants.

“The populist revolt that made 2016 a reality is entering its next stage of resistance,” the narrator said.

Populist movements historically try to appeal to those who feel their concerns are disregarded by those in power. In the "populist revolt" referenced in 2016, that movement largely sought to draw a line of division between those who perceive themselves as "ordinary people" and an elite other group.

The movie’s producer, conservative Youtuber Steve Turley, accused Penn Cinema on Facebook of caving to “woke” pressure and is threatening to sue the venue for breach of contract. Turley is seeking another venue for the premiere and plans to continue with the event, according to a news release.

Efforts to reach the venue’s owner, Penn Ketchum, as well as a representative for Turley’s production company, Turley Productions, were unsuccessful.

From another article:

The venue’s owner, Penn Ketchum, posted on Facebook that, “We are NOT hosting this event. We had planned to when we thought it was a “conservative” movie. In meeting with my team, we had made the decision to cancel the evnt when it became clear it was a whole other thing.”

Turley responds:

Mr. penn was then quoted as saying, "In the place of the cancelled movie, we will be substituting the movie " The Black Phone", which chronicals the life and actions of a serial killer. By doing so, we are contributing to the community by giving disenfranchised youth visions of graphic violence, in order for them to have something to fantasize and masturbate to, since we know that these incels will never, ever get a shot at Stacy."

I thought the liberal progressives were all about a populist agenda?

That's been their argument for a long time. the majority want more gun laws, the majority want more abortion, the majority want more LGBTQIA, the majority want more, more, more.

The left agenda has always been about control.
