The Kytherians take over The Ritz Cinema in Sydney to watch Wog Boys 3

·

The Kytherian Association of Australia (KAA) took over the Ritz Cinema in Randwick, Sydney on Friday, October 14 for a private screening of Nick Giannopoulos’ new film, Wog Boys Forever.

With the Wog Chariot – a 1969 Valiant – Greek flags and Greek flag bunting flying proudly at the entrance of the cinema, the KAA’s name up in lights and bouzouki music blaring loudly in the Ritz bar, the scene was set for a fun night of unashamed Greekness.

Guests feasted on Greek grazing tables comprising of abundant amounts of spanakopita, dolmades, tiropites, olives, paximathia and tarama. There was even ipovrihio – the vanilia spoon sweet in water – which some haven’t had since their childhood.

After guests caught up with one another in the private bar and balcony reserved for the KAA, everyone collected their movie combo of popcorn or choc tops and made their way to the privately reserved cinema to watch Wog Boys Forever, the third instalment of Giannopoulos’ Wog Boys franchise.

Most guests had a Greek background and upbringing, and could relate to the humour of the movie and the cinema was often filled with loud laughter from the guests.

The event organiser, Toula Varipatis, told The Greek Herald after the event that everyone had a great night.

“All generations attended this event. For most of us, having seen Wog Boys and Kings of Mykonos, we couldn’t wait to see what Nick Giannopoulos had in store for us in his third instalment,” Ms Varipatis said.

“Others, who grew up with Acropolis Now and the Wog Boy movies, were introducing their children to it for the first time. This movie cemented all the generations. If the ipovrihio didn’t take us back to our Greek childhood, the funny moments in the movie certainly did.”
