Eden Meadows
Grognak the Barbarian, The Inspector, Manta Man, Mistress of Mystery, and the Silver Shroud vroom across the screen. Dr. Brainwash and his army of De-Capitalists blast their commie weapons at the heroes in costume. The scene is intense as The Inspector is overwhelmed before Grognak vanquishes the foes with his axe.
The fog is light, allowing viewers to visit vending booths to chew on their popmaize and swig from the Captain's Blend and view the silver screen to watch the Unstoppables become heroes of the night on Mount Desert Island. The settlement of Eden Meadows, once a large drive-in theater, is now a bustling settlement of Harbormen, synths, settlers from the Commonwealth, and former tenants of the Church of the Children of Atom.

The biggest draw to the area, of course, is the theater. People from other settlements on the island make large booking for space where they set up tents and spend sometimes days watching all the offerings at the dual screens of Eden Meadows. The latest release as part of the HCU universe is the first Unstoppables movie,
Unstoppables I: Dr. Brainwash and His Army of De-Capitalists. It is the first feature-length viewing of the HCU and has followed 10 shows starring different HCU characters.
The 11 total video offerings play on loop with some other films from present and before the Great War. For the HCU, the following have been released since the first show in November of 2297:

Eden Meadows has vowed to be the one-stop area of Mount Desert Island for the biggest entertainment names. Pre-War stars Gilda Broscoe and Keith McKinney have visited for viewings and venues for some of the showings of their movies, including one in which they starred together, Empire on the Nile.

The cast of the Unstoppables has also made several appearances at HCU-sponsored events at Eden Meadows. Outside of Starlight in the Boston area, Eden Meadows has become the voice of cinema in the Northeast.
