What axe they talking about?

M: What shall we do tonight?
W: How about the cinema?
M: That’s a good idea. We haven’t been there for ages.
W: What would you like to see?
M: Oh, I don’t know. Spy Story?
W: Spy Story? That terrible, old film?
M: But it got the prize in 1988.
W: But I’ve seen it before.
M: Well, we can first go to the cinema and then see what film we can enjoy.
W: OK.
