Established in 2026, The B-List Movie Club was birthed in Los Angeles. Brett Gaffney on a quiet Thursday night made a Tik-Tok inviting strangers to go see a movie with him. What was started as a joke rapidly grew to become a club of over 2000 members just within the first week of the club existing! From there, the club has expanded into Portland, the Bay Area, San Diego, Orange County, and other cities can apply to have a club opened up as well.

As the club continued to grow over the summer of 2026, with the support and help of the clubs vice president, Jenna Webster, Brett and Jenna have built a community of avid film lovers across the west coast. Within only 4 months, the club has officially 6000 members and is growing by the day in multiple cities. The B-List Movie Club has worked with partners such as AMC, AFM, RealD 3D, ScreenX, NEON Rated, Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Lionsgate, Netflix, Focus Features, and many more, to bring people to the movies.

The B-List Movie Club was founded under this one main idea. Making Friends at the Movies. The theaters still haven't fully figured out how to strengthen and build community, so the community is taking it into their own hands. We all see movies sitting amongst strangers anyways, so now we can bridge the social gap between movie goers, help people discover amazing community, and watch some movies at cinemas all across the city!
