SUMMARY:The Whitest Kids U'Know's MARS (2026) w/ WKUK pre-show
DESCRIPTION:THIS SCREENING IS SOLD OUT. A SECOND SCREENING AT 9 PM HAS BEEN ADDED! \n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“MARS displays the kind of comedy tradition The Whitest Kids U’Know are part of: smart people making the most stupid and surreal jokes possible…utterly gleeful about death\, mutilation\, and gore while scoring deliberately cheap satirical points… After all\, who doesn’t want to see a tech billionaire’s head explode?” – Bleeding Cool \n\n\n\nMARS is the animated feature film from cult comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’ Know. The film tells the story of Kyle\, an average guy in his 30s who is about to marry his nagging girlfriend and take over a dental practice he hates. Desperate for a way out\, he enters a contest hosted by eccentric billionaire Elron Branson to be one of four “average people” to visit Mars. Unfortunately\, he wins! Leaving his fiancée at the altar\, Kyle joins four others to be among the first human beings to have an adventure that is absolutely nothing like he could have expected. \n\n\n\nInitially conceived by the group in 2012\, MARS began production during the pandemic after a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised $600\,000. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2024 and represents the troupe’s final work together as a group. MARS holds special significance as the final performance of Trevor Moore\, WKUK’s beloved co-founder who passed away in 2021. Fortunately\, Moore’s dialogue was recorded before his passing\, and the surviving members worked tirelessly to complete the film as a tribute to his legacy and as a gift to WKUK fans. \n\n\n\nThe film will be preceded by a Whitest Kids U’Know pre-show starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime. You must physically come to the lobby to get your name on the waitlist. Seats are released as they become available. All remaining seats are released at showtime.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:TOUCH ME (2026) -- “The tentacled erotic horror comedy you didn't know you needed”
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The tentacled erotic horror comedy you didn’t know you needed…part absurdist\, gross-out romp\, part erotic thriller\, and part lo-fi sci-fi… It’s rare that something this confidently unique finds its way out into the world\, but TOUCH ME is destined to find a dedicated fan base who love eroticism and goo.” – ScreenAnarchy \n\n\n\nTwo codependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist who may or may not be trying to take over the world in Addison Heimann’s weird\, wild\, horny\, hideous\, goop-slathered slab of midnight-movie madness\, TOUCH ME. Starring Olivia Taylor Dudley as rudderless single gal Joey and Jordan Gavaris as her lazy stoner roommate Craig\, the film finds the duo taking refuge from their shit-stenched apartment in the sprawling compound of Joey’s ex\, Brian (Lou Taylor Pucci)\, who just so happens to be an alien whose physical touch leaves humans in a heroin-like state of liberating ecstasy that drains all worry from their bodies. Filled to the brim with offbeat comedy\, surreal eroticism\, gloopy practical-effects horror\, and an atmosphere of woozy cosmic dread\, TOUCH ME is “31 flavors of weird” (The Pitch). \n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Do you like Gregg Araki? Cthulhu? Hentai? Then this film is one-stop shopping. It’s a genre-spanning freak buffet about\, among other things\, unhealthy attachment styles\, friendship\, trauma recovery\, unhealthy coping mechanisms and…um…tentacle sex.” – The Pitch \n\n\n\n“This fun\, quirky film uses its absurdity to explore its more serious subjects without distraction. Amidst the laughter and the tentacle-driven moments onscreen is something heartfelt and a little broken\, making this a surprisingly deep experience.” – ButWhyTho \n\n\n\n\n\n“An ambitious\, sexually charged horror satire…Touch Me is the kind of film you kind of question if you should be watching but can’t look away once it locks you in.” – That Hashtag Show“For those who tune in to the freaky\, goofy\, and sincere frequencies there’s a specific genius running through the work that’s nigh on irresistible.” – AWFJ \n\n\n\n“Austin Powers 2 on acid” – Albert Birney\, director of OBEX \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.
