SUMMARY:Prince's UNDER THE CHERRY MOON (1986) w/ intro by Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re hosting a joint birthday party for Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba (born June 6\, 1987) and pop music icon Prince (born June 7\, 1958)! The night begins with a Happy Hour devoted to the Purple One\, then Sarah will introduce Prince’s brilliant directorial debut Under the Cherry Moon\, and we’ll wrap things up with karaoke in the theater! \n\n\n\nWhat better way to follow up the runaway box office success of Purple Rain — the film that cemented Prince’s status as a pop icon and helped sell a bajillion soundtrack albums — than with a frothy screwball tribute to pre-Code rom-coms set against the backdrop of the French Riviera? Oh and did I mention\, there are hardly any musical numbers? And it’s all in black-and-white? UNDER THE CHERRY MOON was\, understandably\, a tough sell to audiences expecting Purple Rain 2\, but the critical lambasting the film endured — it was dismissed as a misguided vanity project by a narcissistic wannabe and “awarded” five Razzies\, including Worst Picture — was completely unwarranted and smacks of out-of-touch fuddy-duddyism.  \n\n\n\nBut the critics and the public had it all completely wrong\, as Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba will argue in her introduction! This free-wheeling goofball lark is\, in fact\, an underseen treasure\, a true auteurist work by one of pop music’s greatest geniuses that evokes the ribaldry of the pre-Code era with a devilishly subversive streak. Directed by and starring the Purple One himself\, UNDER THE CHERRY MOON co-stars Kristin Scott Thomas (in her screen debut) and Jerome Benton of The Time. Featuring gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by the legendary Michael Ballhaus\, a script written by pioneering No Wave filmmaker Becky Johnston\, and a soundtrack collaboration between Prince and composer Clare Fishcer\, UNDER THE CHERRY MOON is a cult classic waiting to be rediscovered. \n\n\n\n“Under the Cherry Moon is an inspired\, delightful piece of cinema—pure cloudcuckooland escapism\, a luxuriant\, swishy appropriation of Golden Age dreaminess with a dollop of wide-eyed 80s consumerist wonderment and mystical messianic streak\, and very much of a piece with Prince’s genius.” – BKMAG \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:Double Feature -- ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1932) + FREAKS (1932) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene\, hosted by Michael Morlaine. \n\n\n\nBody horror made a quantum leap in ’32\, with the twin releases of these two markedly different exploitation classics. In Island of Lost Souls\, Charles Laughton plays the sinister Dr. Moreau\, whose gene-splicing lab in the jungle spawns a new class of hybrids bent on revenge; meanwhile\, Tod Browning’s Freaks portrays the denizens of a traveling sideshow as they uncover a plot by the normies against one of their own. \n\n\n\nWhile each film covers different angles of the class struggle\, Freaks has earned particular notoriety for its casting of actual sideshow performers with genuine physical anomalies. Though intended as a tribute to the kind-hearted carny folk of his youth\, Browning’s masterpiece crossed a line that audiences couldn’t bear\, leading to mass panic at its initial screenings and effectively ending his career. Come see what all the fuss was about as we unveil them back to back\, in a double header that’ll scar you for life. \n\n\n\n“Cinema’s boldest statement on the dichotomy between outer appearance and inner life; no wonder the beauty-obsessed Hollywood studio system had no idea what to do with it. It’s one of the most powerful films ever made about the need for humanity and solidarity in the face of cruelty and oppression.” – Abhilash ‘NOx’ Baruah on Freaks \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. 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.

SUMMARY:Post-Apocalyptic Skateboard Rock Opera SHREDDER ORPHEUS (1990) presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by St. Louis’s long-running cult film series Strange Brew — winner of the 2025 A-List Award for Best Movie Night in St. Louis. Strange Brew programmer Jon Scorfina will provide an introduction. \n\n\n\nShredder Orpheus (1989) is a low-budget reimagining of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice presented as a post-apocalyptic skateboard rock opera. Orpheus (played by director Robert McGinley) is a local rock star that must descend to the underworld on a skateboard-from-hell to rescue his kidnapped wife and stop Hades from broadcasting a hypnotic message from the Devil’s “Euthanasia TV Network” that could destroy the world. Shredder Orpheus also captures a rare acting performance by legendary spoken-word poet Steven Jesse Bernstein (known as Seattle’s Williams S. Burroughs) who narrates the story as well.  \n\n\n\nThe film was shot in Seattle\, Washington without obtaining permits for many of its locations. It had a one-night-only premiere at Seattle’s Neptune Theater on Halloween of 1989\, before it later gained a cult following for its limited VHS release. The film was rediscovered by the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) and reissued on Blu-Ray in 2023 to modern audiences that embraced its weird amalgamation of influences from new-wave music videos\, Bones Brigade skate tapes\, and avant-garde art.  \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:LADIES THEY TALK ABOUT (1933) presented by Forbidden Hollywood
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForbidden Hollywood is a monthly series hosted by STL film critic Katie Carter celebrating the Pre-Code films of the early 1930s\, when movies were wild\, racy\, transgressive\, and tons of fun. \n\n\n\nConsidered one of the first— if not the first— women in prison movies\, 1933’s Ladies They Talk About stars a perfectly cast Barbara Stanwyck as Nan Taylor\, the hardboiled member of a gang of bank robbers who ends up taking the rap for a job and ending up serving time in San Quentin. While her will they/won’t they romance with radio evangelist David Slade (Preston Foster) is contrived\, the interactions between the female inmates provide a wildly entertaining and illuminating glimpse at clashing feminine emotions. Based on a play by Dorothy Mackaye\, inspired by her own stint in San Quentin for conspiring to coverup the death of her husband\, Ladies They Talk About contains all the ingredients to make it a prototype of what would become a popular exploitation subgenre once the Production Code disintegrated in the 1960s\, from cat fights and queer overtones to offbeat musical interludes and frank discussions of sex and the inmates’ misdemeanors. \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:$3 MONDAY MYSTERY MOVIE: A Thrilling Murder Mystery!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the last Monday of every month\, Arkadin chooses an underseen deep cut to inflict upon an unwitting audience. Though the genre and tone may change\, the price always remains the same: three measly bucks. You can’t afford not to get yourself a ticket!  \n\n\n\nThis month\, Arkadin brings you a truly unique and underseen mini-masterpiece of suspense that will leave you guessing till the last frame. With wry humor and a meta sensibility that can only be described as “De Palma-esque\,” this ingenious little shocker remains little known\, but is truly a must-see. A rare treat that deconstructs our relationship with cinema while flirting with the surreal but still manages to deliver a ripper of a climax\, all we can say is that this particular mystery movie benefits enormously from being seen in a theater. \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.
