The Santa Monica Civic appears in Christopher Guest's TV movie "Mascots" (Netflix, 2016) as the home of a World Mascot Association Championship event.
Thanks to Garan Grey for spotting the Civic in the movie. It features Parker Posey, Ed Begley Jr., Jane Lynch, Fred Willard, Jennifer Coolidge, Bob Balaban, Harry Shearer and others from the Guest repertory gang. The cinematography was by Kris Kachikis.
