Mu-Meson Archives Screenings
Jaimie and Aspasia also have a passion for Conspiracies and Anomalous Phenomena which they incorporate in the weekly screenings in their home collecting all sorts of topics that get either little coverage or none at all.

They have never received money from a government body or private organisation and have always remained vehemently independent in their research.

STARRING WENG WENG AGENT 00
The funniest film ever made! Never Before Screened In Adelaide!
For Your Height Only is a legend among lovers of truly `out there' cinema. A film about a two and a half foot tall Fillipino secret agent 00; kung fu master and suave loving machine who struts his stuff in a Travolta style white suit...
Can it be true that such a film really exists? It can and it does. Unquestionably one of the most outrageous and totally whacked out movies in the world, it tells the incredible story of how agent 00 takes on the mysterious "Mr Giant" and his death dealing gang of white slavers and drug runners. See him fly through the sky in his mini Jet pack; see him fell his opponents by biting them on the behind; just see him...!
