B-Movie Matinee is the second solo studio album by American R&B guitarist, producer and founder of band Chic, Nile Rodgers. As with his first album, it failed to make the Billboard 200 (its highest position was bubbling under at 206[2]). Although a single "Let’s Go Out Tonight" remains Rodgers’ only solo single to make the Billboard Hot 100 reaching number 88.[3] Both "Let’s Go Out Tonight" and "State Your Mind" had promotional videos made for their single release.

“Stay Out Of The Light" contains samples from "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "stop ... stay out of the light", "throw me the whip", "adios señor" and "I'll show you what I'm accustomed to, Dr. Jones".

Cover

The album featured a 3D cover, designed by Mick Haggerty. Both the original vinyl release and the CD released in 2001 were sold with a small pair of 3D glasses with which to view it.
