POWA Lazy Day – Monty Python Edition, 6th September, 2026

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Yeah, Nah, Yeah. This is happening.

So, its Fathers Day weekend this weekend and, like before on various days where we think people might want to not feel like they’re missing out on POWA, we’re not doing our normal lineup of Anime.

But instead of just another lazy day, I’m making good on my threats of a Monty Python night with a fan-favourite of fathers and old people (like me) everywhere!

That’s right, we are going to be watching the 1975 comedy classic (Some would say masterpiece; I call it a classic masterpiece) “Monty Python and the Holy Grail!”

King Arthur (King of the Britons, and not a woman, nor a welshman with a chip on his shoulder) sets off across the sunny English countryside in a quest from god: Find the Holy Grail. There’s a wizard, there’s some very rude frenchmen, there’s grand armies, and there’s even talk of a terrifying beast (With big sharp teeth!) all in the King’s path. 

It’s a silly place.

Now, the film is just over an hour and a half long, so if you wish to you can skip the film and show up afterwards – we will have a few hours left in the day where we can play some board games, hang out and do the usual lazy stuff… but of course, the entire point of a lazy day is that you don’t need to feel like you need to rock up at all! 

A more personal note; If you have not seen this film, I personally suggest you give it a go. It is a film that is quite foundational for a lot of comedy, and would go on to influence and be referenced in media up to this current day. It is, however, an older film and sometimes the Python’s brand of humour and jokes, in many of their works, can come across as poorly aged, perhaps. Holy Grail is rated PG, however, and of all their works is (surprisingly) the most family friendly. But it is still an old comedy; some jokes and language could offend more modern sensibilities. 

And, by the way, there wont be a shop or raffle on offer this week: Lazy! Day!

We hope to see you there!

This Weeks Schedule:

1:00pm – Library Opens

1:30pm – Film start: “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”

POWA Screening, 30th August, 2026

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Double the farewells and finales this week at POWA! 

Both our Fantasy series, “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2” and our Slice of Life/Romance series “Restaurant to Another World” reach the last episode of their run this week, proving to all of us that i still cannot spell “Restaurant” first try and that japan has a weird way of approaching food and elves.

That said, its going to be a little while before we replace the two shows; our schedule over the next month or so worth of screenings is a little bit disjointed. Keep an eye out for details in our future events.

And, outside the note that our newest show, Apothecary Diaries Season 2 survived its first vote last week, we have no voting on the mind at all! 

Just two finales, which in our lineup, is about as big a milestone for a show as it gets.

We hope to see you there!

1:00 – Doors Open 

1:30 – Restaurant to Another World – Episode 12 (Slice of Life/Romance, Finale!)

2:00 – Frieren: Beyond Journeys End: Season 2 – Episode 10 (Fantasy, Finale!)

2:30 – The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 – Episode 5 (Mature, Horror & Thriller)

3:00 – Break & Raffle

3:45 – Ameku MD: Doctor Detective – Episode 6 (Drama)

4:15 – Cowboy Bebop – Episode 15 (Action & Sports)

POWA Screening, 23rd August, 2026

Back to our regularly scheduled anime watchalongs this time after last time’s lazy day, bowling outing and Pixel Expo weekend. 

We continue right where we left off last time, in all ways, since the votes we had last time – for Frieren Season 2 and Ameku MD – both passed their challenge, and continue this week. In similar but different news, this week’s got the first vote for our Mature, Horror & Thriller franchise, The Apothecary Diaries season 2. Effectively, POWA gets to decide how much they want to put up with terrible, terrible jokes about Maomao being the name of the main character, the name of a cat, and the noise that they make.

We hope to see you there!

This Week’s Schedule: 

1:00 – Doors Open 

1:30 – Restaurant to Another World – Episode 11 (Slice of Life/Romance)

2:00 – Frieren: Beyond Journeys End: Season 2 – Episode 9 (Fantasy)

2:30 – The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 – Episode 4 (Mature, Horror & Thriller, Voting!)

3:00 – Break & Raffle

3:45 – Ameku MD: Doctor Detective – Episode 5 (Drama)

4:15 – Cowboy Bebop – Episode 14 (Action & Sports)
