O’Shea follows the Veiled Prophet Society from its origins in the wake of the 1877 general strike\, through the 1904 World’s Fair\, to the height of the Prophet’s—and St. Louis’s—influence during the Cold War. The Veiled Prophet examines the unexpected ways this secret society has shaped the course of history\, from the CIA to the Vietnam War to the assassination of Martin Luther King.The Veiled Prophet will be available for sale on site\, or buy a copy now! \n\n\n\nWorld Wide Magazine\, presented by Jim VaragonaWorld Wide Magazine was a public access television program in St. Louis from 1986–2001.

Fair downtown. The National Park Service tried to keep them out\, but a very public media battle in 1991 led to their filming rights being reinstated. This compilation captures plenty of revelry\, hoosier patriotism\, and bratwurst. Go along for the ride with Pete\, Big Daddy\, Marty\, Marty’s Brother Mark\, Dumptruck Dave Perry\, Miss Cathy\, Black Jesus\, The Mad Russian\, and more. This presentation is curated and will be introduced by Jim Varagona\, archivist of The Pete Parisi Archives. \n\n\n\nThis event is not available for booking with the Club Arkadin pass. \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.

SUMMARY:THE ALABAMA SOLUTION presented by Empower Missouri
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE SEATS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Empower Missouri for a free screening of the documentary The Alabama Solution. \n\n\n\n“Scalding… exerts a grip like a thriller” – Variety \n\n\n\nIn 2019\, filmmakers Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman (HBO’s The Jinx) visited an Alabama prison\, where\, off camera\, incarcerated men whispered a message: terrible things are going on and being kept secret. This reveal sparked an immersive six-year investigation to discover the reality behind one of the nation’s deadliest prison systems. With unprecedented access and video shot on contraband cell phones\, the directors learn of a suspicious and violent death\, which wasn’t an isolated incident – and that the official version appears far from the truth. A shocking story of brutality\, corruption\, and a system in collapse\, The Alabama Solution shines a light on the inmates fighting for their survival who\, against all odds\, embark on a powerful campaign of resistance. \n\n\n\nThis screening is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY (2006) -- outdoor screening sponsored by Proper Cannabis
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“★★★★★ – Talladega Nights’ comic punch lands so squarely because there’s no sniping\, no pointing and laughing at the NASCAR culture the movie piggy-backs on… The racing action is as crunching and kinetic as the jokes are funny.” – Total Film \n\n\n\nTalladega Nights turns 20! Praise 8 pounds 6 ounce newborn infant Jesus! Come celebrate two decades of Ricky Bobby with this outdoor screening of Talladega Nights!

To reclaim his glory\, his family\, and his need for speed\, he must conquer his fears in an utterly unhinged\, high-octane comeback. One of the funniest and sharpest of Ferrell’s collaborations with writer-director Adam McKay\, Talladega Nights is as fresh and funny today as it was two decades ago.  \n\n\n\nThis outdoor screening is part of the Stoner Cinema series sponsored by our friends at Proper Cannabis and their product line Daily Driver. \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:EARTH'S GREATEST ENEMY (2025) + virtual Q&A with director Abby Martin
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Captures the unfathomable breadth of ecological and human suffering caused by militarism. It covers the cost of war to the oceans\, animal and plant life\, fresh water\, and more.

SUMMARY:"Timeless trans buddy comedy" BY HOOK OR BY CROOK (2001) presented by Metro Trans Umbrella Group -- FREE!
DESCRIPTION:“A timeless trans buddy comedy… By Hook or By Crook provides an important sense of queer history.” – Chicago Reader \n\n\n\nGroundbreaking when it was made and still fiercely innovative today\, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK is a trans and butch buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of Shy\, a handsome\, gender-bending\, small town dreamer with a nagging messiah complex. Emotionally defeated after the death of his father\, Shy heads to the big city to sink himself into a “life of crime.” He is quickly distracted by Valentine\, a deliriously expressive\, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birth mother. The two freaky grifters join forces and learn the true meaning of “poise under pressure” in this visually stunning and wonderfully acted\, anti-authoritarian tale of friendship\, trust and redemption. \n\n\n\nThis FREE screening is presented by Metro Trans Umbrella Group\, who will provide an introduction before the film. \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:Sewer Urchin presents GLOBAL URINATION: THE VIDEO ALBUM (2026)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“…a filthy\, spit-in-your-face assault on decency and order.” – Maximum Rocknroll (music album review) \n\n\n\nYour friendly local crossover-thrash band\, Sewer Urchin\, presents GLOBAL URINATION: THE VIDEO ALBUM\, a self-produced excursion into low budget filmmaking\, featuring NO CGI\, NO GREEN SCREEN and absolutely NO AI. This is trash cinema with a crossover thrash soundtrack. \n\n\n\nYou will see: Kaiju toys destroying lego buildings! Zombies! Kung fu! A man-sized fly! Puppets! Sasquatch! Blood! \n\n\n\nThis project was nearly 2 years in the making (more if you count writing/recording the music)\, with direction of all the videos being handled by guitarist\, Todd Parker. Todd learned the basics of filmmaking on a string of no-budget movies in the mid-2000s\, holding a little bit of every title\, from editor to make-up artist. These days he makes movies for fun\, on his own terms. \n\n\n\nLIMITED EDITION VHS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THIS SCREENING. ANY REMAINING STOCK WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AFTERWARDS \n\n\n\nMORE PRAISE FOR GLOBAL URINATION (the music album): \n\n\n\n\n“Crunchy\, thrashy metal that carries the aroma of DRI\, SOD\, MOD…” – Punk Dumpster Zine\n\n\n\n“…the whole world’s going up in flames\, let’s get fucked up and listen to Sewer Urchin.” – Nuke the Whales Punk Zine
