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. 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. \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+. We follow the MPAA rating guidelines for all other films.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased using the BUY TICKETS link above. Upon ordering\, you will receive a confirmation email from Square.

SUMMARY:SURFER: TEEN CONFRONTS FEAR (2018) -- "a bizarre and worthy successor to The Room" -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\n“A bizarre and worthy successor to the Room… Material this weird can’t be made up: it has to flow through one’s soul.” – SlashFilm \n\n\n\nDoug Burke’s contemporary cult classic Surfer©: Teen Confronts Fear can only be seen in theaters\, and now it comes to Arkadin! A passion project of writer/director/composer/actor Burke\, Surfer©: Teen Confronts Fear is an intensely passionate and spiritual opus that has been captivating midnight movie audiences with its quotable lines\, sudden Bible references\, Jason Bourne-esque assassin subplot\, and tour de force lead performance by Burke and his real-life teen son Sage. Critics have compared it to The Room\, celebrated it as “tremendous\, immense\, indefatigable\, and unique” (ScreenAnarchy)\, and dubbed it “peculiar\, earnest\, nonsensical\, and assembled with little apparent understanding of how things are done” (SlashFilm). But one thing is for sure: no description can prepare you for it. “You may never truly understand it – and I’d worry for you if you did – but you have no choice but to respect it” (ScreenAnarchy). \n\n\n\nOh…what’s it actually about\, you ask? According to the official synopsis: \n\n\n\nSurfing since as young as he can remember\, at the age of 13\, Sage is crippled by fear after suffering a wipeout on a huge wave. The wave slammed him to the bottom and held him pinned there without air until he nearly died. \n\n\n\nWith his whole life still ahead of him yet now paralyzed by fear\, Sage no longer surfs the waves. But unable to ignore the mystical and powerful pull of the ocean\, he fishes in the surf\, and finds more than he bargained for. \n\n\n\nThis is the story of a teenager who confronts fear . . . \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:Guy Maddin's "hilariously bizarre" CAREFUL (1992) -- new 4K restoration presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“Hilariously bizarre… like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension.” – The Washington Post \n\n\n\nArkadin favorite Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents—adult\, child and animal—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression\, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid\, luminescent tints\, CAREFUL is Maddin’s twisted ode to a largely forgotten film subgenre\, the German “Bergfilme” of the 1920s and ’30s\, which pitted man (and woman) against mountain in epic survivalist adventures. Merging these bygone conventions with Maddin’s own delirious obsessions results in a truly singular work that resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet. \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: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.

SUMMARY:ROSE OF NEVADA (2025) -- "a stupefying\, time-slipping ghost story"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Like nothing else in modern movies. Feels unearthed from the deep\, dark recesses of the unconscious.” – Nick Schager\, The Daily Beast \n\n\n\n“A stupefying\, time-slipping ghost story” (The Film Stage) from Mark Jenkin\, the visionary director of Enys Men\, Rose of Nevada is a seasick sci-fi-inflected journey into the unknown. Or\, as critic Brian Tallerico put it\, “a mind-fuck” that “reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time.”  \n\n\n\nThree decades ago\, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea\, along with its crew. Now\, it has returned. In a remote fishing village\, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign\, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn\, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay\, 1917)\, desperate to provide for his young family\, and Liam (Callum Turner\, Fantastic Beasts)\, a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage\, they return to harbor\, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.  \n\n\n\nShot on 16mm film with a vintage Bolex H16\, a camera that only allows a maximum runtime of 28 seconds per take\, and edited with a haunting\, rhythmic pulse\, Rose of Nevada is\, like its characters\, adrift in time—ferociously contemporary yet profoundly haunted by the past. It’s also very weird\, very cool\, and like nothing else in contemporary cinema. \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Brilliantly weird” \n\n\n\n\n“With Rose of Nevada\, Jenkin has further cemented himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary cinema… brilliantly weird and wholly intoxicating.” \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Upcoming \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Mind-fuck” \n\n\n\n\n“It’s not every day that you see a film that reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time. Still\, there aren’t a lot of movies like this mind-fuck of a flick… I won’t forget it.” \n\n\n\n\n\nRogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Moving… unnerving… striking” \n\n\n\n\n“An experience as moving as it is unnerving\, and as the piercing screeching of iron rods announces the Rose of Nevada is to leave port once more\, it is we the audience there to wave a pained goodbye\, quietly stunned by the ethereal aura of Jenkin’s striking creation.” \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nLittle White Lies \n\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:SERIAL MOM (1994) w/ Snapped pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Uproariously funny\, maliciously malicious!” – Time Out \n\n\n\nThe Pope of Trash satirizes the dark heart of suburban normalcy in this wicked black comedy. Kathleen Turner plays wholesome suburban mom Beverly\, a picture-perfect homemaker whose fascination with serial killers transforms her into a Good Housekeeping murder queen who kills anyone and everyone who fails to live up to her standards. Featuring appearances by Ricki Lake\, Matthew Lillard\, Mink Stole\, Suzanne Somers\, Traci Lords and Patty Hearst\, SERIAL MOM gleefully skewers conformity\, suburbia\, and (perhaps most presciently) America’s obsession with true crime. Grab your own mama and bring her to the movies for a Mother’s Slay that’ll leave you in stitches…if Beverly doesn’t get you first! \n\n\n\nNeed more trashy murder content? Come out early for our Snapped pre-show starting at 6 pm—the wildly popular Oxygen true crime series that shows the true freaks live in the suburbs. \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' most personal film PECKER (1998)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A sassy\, irreverent movie about art\, fame\, culture shock\, and class consciousness” – Faith & Spirituality \n\n\n\nWho but John Waters would have given his sweetest and most personal film a name like Pecker? Edward Furlong stars as the eponymous teen\, an amateur photographer whose eye for the captivating oddness of everyday Baltimore life leads him to snap pictures of laundromats\, strip clubs\, and his shoplifting pal. But it’s all downhill once Pecker’s grainy\, out-of-focus shots are “discovered” by an influential NYC art dealer (Lilli Taylor). Soon\, Pecker has traded in his trusty Canon Caronet for an expensive Nikon N50\, and his friends and family start to feel the sting of fame’s bright lights. Co-starring Christina Ricci as Pecker’s obsessive girlfriend\, John Waters’ semi-autobiographical satire of art-world excess is a quirky\, hilarious delight that reveals the softer side of cinema’s most notorious shockmeister. But don’t get it twisted\, Pecker way be a touching ode to creative passion\, but it’s still a John Waters movie\, meaning this sweet-natured farce doubles as an R-rated romp\, packed with jokes about teabagging\, eating disorders\, and the Virgin Mary. \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' MULTIPLE MANIACS (1970)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Cheapo\, indie\, queer American cinema at its most adversarial and thrillingly vicious!” – Globe & Mail \n\n\n\nJohn Waters’ gloriously grotesque second feature is replete with all manner of depravity\, from robbery to murder to one of cinema’s most memorably blasphemous moments. Made on a shoestring budget in Waters’ native Baltimore\, with the filmmaker taking on nearly every technical task\, this gleeful mockery of the peace-and-love ethos of its era features the Cavalcade of Perversion\, a traveling show mounted by a troupe of misfits whose shocking proclivities are topped only by those of their leader: the glammer-than-glam\, larger-than-life Divine\, out for blood after discovering her lover’s affair. Starring members of Waters’ beloved regular cast\, the Dreamlanders (including David Lochary\, Mary Vivian Pearce\, Mink Stole\, Susan Lowe\, Edith Massey\, George Figgs\, and Cookie Mueller)\, Multiple Maniacs is an anarchic masterwork from an artist who has doggedly tested the limits of good taste for decades. \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:PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) w/ Divine pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Pink Flamingos is the sickest movie ever made. And one of the funniest!” – Newsweek \n\n\n\nOur Summer of John Waters comes to a close with this screening of his magnum opus: the midnight-movie smash that has been torturing audiences for over half a century\, the filthiest movie ever made\, and one of the most drop-dead comedies ever made… Pink Flamingos! Divine is iconic as the wanted criminal hiding out with her family of degenerates in a trailer outside Baltimore while reveling in her tabloid notoriety as the “Filthiest Person Alive.” When a pair of sociopaths (Mink Stole and David Lochary) with a habit of kidnapping women in order to impregnate them attempt to challenge her title\, Divine resolves to show them and the world the true meaning of the word “filth.” Incest\, cannibalism\, shrimping\, and film history’s most legendary gross-out ending—Waters and his merry band of Dreamlanders leave no taboo unsmashed in this gleefully subversive ode to outsiderhood\, in which camp spectacle and pitch-black satire are wielded in an all-out assault on respectability. You’ve been warned… \n\n\n\nCome out early for a tribute to John Waters’ greatest muse\, the one and only Divine\, with a 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.
