World Wide Magazine was a public access television program that ran in St. Louis from 1986-2001. Throughout the years of his show, producer Pete Parisi would produce and air Christmas specials with his cavalcade of wild characters like Big Daddy, Dump Truck Dave Perry, Black Jesus, Stinky, Miss Cathy, Vince and Marty, and more. This will be a compilation of those specials made for Arkadin by Jim Varagona of The Pete Parisi Archives. It offers a look back at St. Louis during that era while celebrating this joyous gala yuletide season.

WWM cast members will be in attendance for post show entertainment and discussion. Tickets are $5 and proceeds go to furthering digitization of The Pete Parisi Archives. WWM t-shirts and stickers will be available prior to the show.

Arkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com, as well as through general internet searches.
