SUMMARY:POLYESTER (1981) presented in Odorama! plus Blondie pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re presenting Polyester as the Prince of Puke intended it to be seen (and smelled)—in Odorama! Each ticket includes a scratch-‘n’-sniff Odorama card from Smell Art\, so you can fill your nose with farts\, skunk smells\, car leather\, and more as the film delivers on-screen cues. \n\n\n\n“A rancidly hilarious slice of American Pie!” – Newsweek \n\n\n\nFor his first studio picture\, filth maestro John Waters took advantage of his biggest budget yet to allow his muse Divine to sink his teeth into a role unlike any he had played before: Baltimore housewife Francine Fishpaw\, a heroine worthy of a Douglas Sirk melodrama. Blessed with a keen sense of smell and cursed with a philandering pornographer husband\, a parasitic mother\, and a pair of delinquent children\, the long-suffering Francine turns to the bottle as her life falls apart—until deliverance appears in the form of a hunk named Todd Tomorrow (vintage heartthrob Tab Hunter). One of Waters’ most hilarious inventions\, Polyester is replete with stomach-churning humor\, sadistic nuns\, AA meetings\, and foot stomping galore. \n\n\n\nPlus\, in honor of Polyester‘s Debbie Harry-penned original songs\, we’ll have a Blondie pre-show starting at 6 pm. \n\n\n\nEach ticket includes an Odorama card. You will pick up the card at the concession stand when you check in. \n\n\n\nThis screening is not available for booking with the Club Arkadin pass. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:A DIRTY SHAME (2004) -- "John Waters' most underrated and prescient film" w/ Jackass pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A Dirty Shame is Waters unleashed\, and wicked\, kinky fun for anyone except the twits who rated it NC-17…You may even shed a tear when Sylvia bonds with her daughter by confessing\, ‘”‘I’m a cunnilingus bottom.’ … [T]he Waters spirit stays consistently and sweetly twisted. When the cast takes to the streets singing\, ‘Let’s go sexin’\,’ you want to cheer them on.” – Rolling Stone \n\n\n\nAfter years of making surprisingly audience-friendly studio films\, John Waters returned to his trash roots with this ludicrously entertaining sex comedy that satirizes cultural conservatism with wicked glee. Tracey Ullman stars as Sylvia Stickles\, an uptight convenience store owner who\, after getting bonked on the head\, is transformed into a sex-crazed lunatic. As she goes on a nymphomaniacal rampage through Baltimore\, Sylvia attracts the attention of Ray Ray (Johnny Knoxville)\, a sexual healer and tow truck driver in search of the world’s greatest orgasm. Selma Blair is along for the ride as Sylvia’s go-go dancer daughter who performs under the name Ursula Udders due to her enormous N-cup breast implants. Thanks to its NC-17 rating (given for “pervasive sexual content”) and some fairly shoddy marketing\, A Dirty Shame was a flop in theaters and remains Waters’ final directorial effort to date. But “John Waters’ most underrated and prescient film” (Paste) is crying out for a cult revival. Full of big tits and even bigger laughs\, this raucous\, racy delight might just be the best John Waters film you’ve never seen. Now…LET’S GO SEXIN’!!! \n\n\n\nIn honor of the film’s star\, Johnny Knoxville\, we present a Jackass pre-show\, starting at 6 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:John Waters' queer rebellion fairytale DESPERATE LIVING (1977) w/ vintage burlesque pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I dare anyone not to take John Waters seriously after DESPERATE LIVING. He remains the visionary of camp and the den mother of the bizarre… This film is a triumphant example of the most vital bad taste in America.” – The Village Voice \n\n\n\nFollowing the unrepentant outrageousness of Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble\, director John Waters brought his notorious trash trilogy to a fittingly twisted close with this antifascist fairy tale. After hysterical housewife Peggy Gravel (Mink Stole) murders her husband with the help of her fed-up housekeeper (Jean Hill)\, the newfound “sisters in crime” escape to the bizarro shantytown of Mortville\, a depraved penal colony presided over by a despotic queen (Edith Massey) whose tyranny pushes her subjects to shocking revolt. Deviant cops\, death by dog food\, DIY surgery—Waters unleashes all this and more in an at once relentlessly warped and oddly moral vision of queer rebellion. \n\n\n\nIn honor of the Desperate Living’s star\, stripper Liz Renay\, this film is presented with a vintage burlesque pre-show\, starting at 6:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.
