SUMMARY:BATMAN RETURNS (1992) w/ "Christmas with the Joker" pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Dark\, demented and deviant\, we’re unlikely to see a superhero film like Batman Returns ever again. It’s wonderful.” – Horror Queers \n\n\n\nTim Burton’s ultimate plunge into the mythos of the Dark Knight\, BATMAN RETURNS is as dark\, funny\, weird\, and wonderful as superhero movies get. Michael Keaton puts on the cowl for the second time to battle a never-sexier Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman and a never-grosser Danny DeVito as the Penguin. Set amidst a nightmarish Art Deco Gotham City decked out for the holidays\, this film is absolutely oozing dark winter atmosphere. Laden with steamy romance\, monster-movie creepiness\, and brooding characterization\, this pitch-black epic is one of the very darkest in Burton’s oeuvre (quite an achievement for that modern master of the macabre!). \n\n\n\nPlus\, come out early for more yuletide Batman action with a pre-show at 3:30 pm featuring “Christmas with the Joker” from the classic Batman: The Animated Series. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of our December series\, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE\, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter. \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. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist. If you have a pre-purchased ticket and arrive late and there is no seat for you\, your ticket will be refunded.\n\n\n\nAll screenings are held in our indoor theater unless indicated otherwise in the event description above.\n\n\n\nPlease respect your fellow movie-goers by remaining quiet and refraining from using your cell phone throughout the screening.

SUMMARY:Lynne Ramsay's MORVERN CALLAR (2002) w/ Aphex Twin pre-show presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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“A mesmerizing cinematic poem from the first frame to the last.” -Glenn Kenny\, Premiere \n\n\n\nThe Christmas season was never bluer than it is in Lynne Ramsay’s oblique masterpiece of dislocation MORVERN CALLAR. The film opens on Christmas morning as the title character (Samantha Morton) awakes to find her boyfriend face down in a pool of blood\, dead by his own hand. He has left behind a suicide note\, a mixtape\, Christmas presents\, money for a funeral\, and an unpublished novel. Faced with this crisis\, what can Morvern do? Put her name on the novel\, submit it to a publisher\, hack up her boyfriend’s body\, and head to Spain with the cash\, of course! What might sound lurid or deeply unpleasant plays\, in Ramsay’s masterful hands\, as an utterly entrancing study of the vagaries of the human heart and mind. Morvern is an arresting enigma brought to full mercurial life by Morton in one of the 21st century’s finest performances. Powered by one of the coolest soundtracks of all time—featuring tracks by Can\, Stereolab\, Aphex Twin\, and more—MORVERN CALLAR is haunting\, hypnotic\, and\, more than 20 years on\, remains one of cinema’s most beautiful unsolved riddles.  \n\n\n\nThis program will also feature Lynne Ramsay’s Christmas-set short film GASMAN. \n\n\n\nAnd come out early for an Aphex Twin pre-show starting at 6:30 pm! \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:IN BRUGES (2008)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It’s got dialogue that can cut glass\, performances akin to tight-rope displays\, and constantly shifting alliances that keep us guessing.” – Next Best Picture \n\n\n\nA metaphysical hitman movie that also happens to be totally hilarious? Only writer-director Martin McDonagh could’ve pulled off such a trick. And pull it off he most certainly does in the cult classic IN BRUGES. Of course\, he had more than a little help from a top-notch cast featuring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson—both of whom would later reteam with McDonagh for The Banshees of Inisherin—as well as Ralph Fiennes in one of the most twisted roles of his career. Farrell stars as Ray\, a rookie hitman sent with his mentor\, Ken (Gleeson)\, to the titular Flemish tourist town to cool his heels after a hit gone wrong\, where they’re eventually greeted . Thus sets the stage for an immaculately crafted thriller that weaves fish-out-of-water comedy\, touching romance\, and intricate plot twists into a dark\, beautiful\, very funny tale of guilt\, penance\, and redemption. Oh…and did we mention it’s a Christmas movie! \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of our December series\, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE\, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter. \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.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A delightfully ghoulish holiday musical” – Los Angeles Times \n\n\n\nCreepy\, gorgeous\, and absolutely moving\, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a true masterpiece of twisted seasonal brilliance. Produced by Tim Burton and directed by the brilliant animator Henry Selick\, NIGHTMARE is the story of the Pumpkin King\, Jack Skellington\, who’s bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine.

SUMMARY:HORROR FOR HANUKKAH: Silent German Expressionist Classic THE GOLEM (1920)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Golem\, How He Came Into the World is a classic of horror cinema\, a stunningly beautiful film (each frame is a little masterpiece in its own right) that exerted a huge influence on the genre films to come. It has an uncanny quality to it that few films of the time possessed and which a good many would kill for today.” – EOFFTV Review \n\n\n\nDrawing on traditional Jewish folklore\, German director Paul Wegener created three films based on the myth of the Golem—a humanoid creature made of clay brought to life through magic—but only one of them\, 1920’s THE GOLEM: HOW HE CAME INTO THE WORLD\, survives. Fortunately\, the surviving film is a masterpiece of German Expressionist terror.

SUMMARY:Holiday Cocktail Party with THE THIN MAN (1934) -- cocktail hour at 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave a merry boozy Christmas at Arkadin with our holiday cocktail party\, featuring the most punch-drunk Christmas film of them all\, THE THIN MAN! Cocktail hour starts at 6:30 pm with seasonal drinks (alcoholic and NA) with some cozy\, jazzy ambiance on the big screen. Then\, the feature starts at 7:30 pm! \n\n\n\nThe next person who says Merry Christmas to me\, I’ll kill ’em. The funniest classic kinda-Christmas movie\, THE THIN MAN was such a smash that it warranted a slew of sequels. William Powell and Myrna Loy star as the crime-solving\, cocktail-quaffing married couple Nick and Nora Charles\, two adorable tipplers with more chemistry than Pierre and Marie Curie. Funny\, brash\, and patently ridiculous\, with the wittiest of dialogue and the most fabulous physical comedy\, the film is screwball meets murder mystery\, with gallons of booze on the side. Released just after Prohibition was lifted\, THE THIN MAN practically invented drinking\, so pour yourself a drink (or\, rather\, have one of our bartenders do it for you)\, and raise a glass to your new holiday tradition. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of our December series\, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE\, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter. \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+.

SUMMARY:BLACKADDER'S CHRISTMAS CAROL (1988) -- Free!
DESCRIPTION:“Mere words cannot do this bizarre rendition of A Christmas Carol justice\, but I will try\, it was simply one of the funniest pieces of TV I have ever watched. Forty-five minutes later everything that I thought were the best Christmas parodies had been totally blown away by this outrageously hilarious and scintillatingly naughty BBC take on the Dickens classic.” – Ruthless Reviews \n\n\n\nA wonderfully sardonic twist on Dickens’ immortal classic\, this legendary Christmas special spun off from Richard Curtis (Love\, Actually) and Ben Elton’s (The Young Ones) beloved classic sitcom Blackadder is hilarious whether you’ve re-watched the whole series a hundred times or never even heard of it before. Rowan Atkinson stars as Ebenezer Blackadder\, a kindly shop owner who mends the error of his generous ways after he’s visited by three spirits who inadvertently show him that being a nice guy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Witty\, cutting\, and oh so clever\, BLACKADDER’S CHRISTMAS SPECIAL features a who’s-who of Brit-com legends\, including Tony Robinson\, Miranda Richardson\, Miriam Margolyes\, Jim Broadbent\, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. It’s the perfect way to kick off an afternoon of Ghost Stories for Christmas!  \n\n\n\nThis event is free. No ticket required. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of our December series\, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE\, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter. \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:GHOST STORIES FOR CHRISTMAS -- $3
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBroadcast in the dying hours of Christmas Eve\, the BBC’s A GHOST STORY FOR CHRISTMAS series was a fixture of the seasonal schedules throughout the 1970s and spawned a long tradition of chilling tales\, which terrified yuletide viewers for decades to come.

SUMMARY:THE ORPHANAGE (2007) 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\n“It’s scary as hell\, and perfectly crafted to be scary as hell.” Tim Brayton\, Alternate Ending \n\n\n\nRaised as an orphan on the coast of Spain\, Laura returns to the seaside home of her youth with her husband Carlos and their adopted son\, Simón. But something else dwells there\, too\, as revealed when Simón befriends a spectral child in a sackcloth mask—and when her son disappears\, Laura must face the ghosts of her own past to find him. Produced by Guillermo del Toro\, The Orphanage is a haunting foray into heartrending terror. A tribute to such classics as The Innocents and The Changeling\, this Spanish-Mexican production won praise for its lush aesthetic and brooding atmosphere. Shot on location in northwestern Spain—and making full use of the region’s beaches\, lighthouses\, and caves—The Orphanage immerses viewers in a world of spirits and secrets\, pitched somewhere between the waking world of the living and the nightmarish land of the dead. \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:STAND BY ME (1986) w/ Rob Reiner tribute pre-show @ 2:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An absorbing\, touching examination of the loss of innocence that undeniably deserves its place in the heart of a generation.” – Empire \n\n\n\nDuring one of the most extraordinary directorial runs in cinema’s history\, Rob Reiner made the foundational mockumentary (This Is Spinal Tap)\, the ultimate fantasy adventure (The Princess Bride)\, the quintessential rom-com (When Harry Met Sally…)\, an all-timer courtroom drama (A Few Good Men)\, and\, of course\, one of the all-time great coming-of-age films\, STAND BY ME. Arkadin pays tribute to Reiner’s legacy—cut tragically and violently short—with a screening of this enduring classic of boyhood camaraderie and the loss of innocence. Based on a short story by Steven King\, the film follows a group of friends as they traverse the wilderness to take a peek a dead body\, a journey that will change them forever. Assembling an incredible cast of future stars\, including Wil Wheaton\, River Phoenix\, Corey Feldman\, and Jerry O’Connell\, STAND BY ME showcases Reiner’s humanism\, his warm (yet sharp) sense of humor\, and his rare ability to explore life’s darker corners with a delicate touch.  \n\n\n\nA Rob Reiner tribute pre-show\, featuring clips of the legendary actor-director-writer-producer will precede the film starting at 2:30 pm.  \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:Animated Sci-fi Cult Classic HEAVY METAL (1981) w/ South Park parody pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Wild animation\, tons of blaring rock music\, and fanboy wish fulfillment fantasies of the freakiest order. Good campy fun.” – eFilmCritic \n\n\n\nBased on the deliciously horny sci-fi cult comic\, HEAVY METAL combines stunning visuals\, hard rock music\, and a series of mind-bending stories into the cinematic equivalent of one of those epic murals painted on the side of a ’70s Econoline van. In this booberific space adventure anthology\, an eerie green ball magically transports us into a series of tales taking place in the past\, the future\, and the world beyond — telling stories of super space heroine Taarna; the hard-boiled exploits of Harry Canyon\, cab driver of the future; and the adventures of Den\, whom the green ball changes from an introverted teen into a macho hero. Produced by Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman\, overseen by Canadian animator Gerald Potterton\, and featuring voice work from comedy legends John Candy\, Harold Ramis\, Joe Flaherty\, and Eugene Levy\, this groundbreaking animation extravaganza is the ultimate preteen boys’ fantasy come to life.  \n\n\n\nCome out early for a pre-show featuring the quintessential Heavy Metal parody\, South Park’s “Major Boobage” beginning at 5:38 pm. \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation. Focusing on the strange\, the underseen\, and the unclassifiable\, this series proves cartoons aren’t just for kids\, they’re for total freaks too! \n\n\n\nTᕼIᔕ ᖴIᒪᗰ Iᔕ ᔕᑕᖇEEᑎIᑎG ᗩᔕ ᑭᗩᖇT Oᖴ ᗩᖇKᗩᗪIᑎ’ᔕ ᗯEIᖇᗪ ᑕᗩᑎᗩᗪᗩ ᔕEᖇIEᔕ\, ᖴEᗩTᑌᖇIᑎG OᖴᖴᗷEᗩT\, ᗰᗩᑭᒪE-ᗪᖇEᑎᑕᕼEᗪ ᗪEᒪIGᕼTᔕ ᖴᖇOᗰ TᕼE GᖇEᗩT ᗯᕼITE ᑎOᖇTᕼ. \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:Cecil B. DeMille's epic of orgiastic excess THE SIGN OF THE CROSS (1932) 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\nDeemed “some of the boldest censor-bait ever attempted in a motion picture\,” Cecil B. DeMille’s 1932 comeback after a string of flops finds the director known for his opulent epics working at his most unhinged and horniest. THE SIGN OF THE CROSS tells the story of forbidden love between Roman prefect Marcus Superbus (Fredric March) and Christian woman Mercia (Elissa Landi) during the time when Ancient Rome was ruled over by the mad Emperor Nero (Charles Laughton). Any sanctimonious messaging in DeMille’s adaptation of the play of the same name is overrun by its brash portrait of excess and depravity. Whether it was the queer content—both in regards to Laughton’s portrayal of Nero and the lesbian seduction dance intended to sway the pious Mercia away from her faith—the brutal torture scenes and violent arena climax pitting everything from Amazon warriors to pygmies to an assortment of wild animals against each other (prompting reports of audience members fainting in shock)\, or the famous scene in which a nude Empress Poppaea (Claudette Colbert) bathes in milk\, there was no shortage of sordid content in THE SIGN OF THE CROSS leading to film historian Mark Vieira referring to it as the most “controversial” film of the pre-Code era\, and to the creation of the Catholic Legion of Decency that ultimately contributed to its end. \n\n\n\n“Cecil B. DeMille’s insanely lavish treatise on the decline and fall of Western Civilization… was made in 1932\, shortly before the Production Code fell so heavily on Hollywood\, and DeMille seizes the opportunity to indulge the full range of his perversity one last time… Thoroughly mad and immensely enjoyable.” – Dave Kehr\, Chicago Reader \n\n\n\nDue to inclement weather\, this screening was rescheduled from Dec. 1\, 2025\, to Jan. 5\, 2026. All tickets for the December screening will be honored. \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:Japanese folk-horror anthology KWAIDAN (1964) 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\nKWAIDAN (怪談\, literally\, ”Ghost Stories”) is an epic\, horror anthology film featuring four unrelated ghost stories directed by legendary Japanese filmmaker Masaki Kobayashi (小林 正樹). In 1964\, director Kobayashi shot the film on vast indoor sound-stages allowing him to create hyper-stylized landscapes but resulted in one of the most expensive Japanese films produced for its era. The film’s massive budget resulted in an initial financial loss of over one hundred million yen\, though as film historians began to acknowledge Kobayashi’s standing as one of Japan’s greatest filmmakers (he also directed Harakiri (切腹) and Samurai Rebellion (上意討ち 拝領妻始末))\, Kwaidan (怪談) was also rediscovered and reevaluated as one of the most visually-stunning horror films ever committed to celluloid. \n\n\n\nAdapted from classic Japanese folktales\, each ghost story in KWAIDAN (怪談) accepts that there is a supernatural realm that is largely unaffected by human suffering. The four stories are all thematically connected through vengeful spirits seeking moral retribution. The stories include: \n\n\n\n\nThe Black Hair (黒髪): A poor samurai leaves his true love and marries into wealth. When his disastrous marriage ends\, he returns to his lost love only to discover a mysterious change.\n\n\n\nThe Woman of the Snow (雪女): A stranded woodcutter meets an icy spirit that spares his life on the condition he will keep her lifesaving bargain a secret. Unfortunately\, he does not keep his promise.\n\n\n\nHoichi the Earless(耳無し芳一の話): Blind musician Hoichi performs songs for a haunted imperial court that aim to drain his life. Monks set out to protect Hoichi by inking a holy mantra over his entire body.\n\n\n\nIn a Cup of Tea (茶碗の中): A man keeps seeing a mysterious face reflected in his cup of tea and makes the mistake of drinking from the cup.\n\n\n\n\nKWAIDAN will be presented by Strange Brew in its original three-hour cut with a brief 10-minute intermission.  \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:Absurd\, Heartfelt Animated Doc ENDLESS COOKIE (2025) -- new release!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The film is as heartfelt as it is absurd and the conversations and stories are so riveting I found myself almost in trance as I watched this doc. I can’t wait to watch it again.” – Marya E. Gates \n\n\n\nWinner of the Contrechamp Grand Prix at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival\, Seth and Peter Scriver’s freewheeling animated documentary follows Peter—an artist and storyteller from the Shamattawa First Nation—through a series of shaggy dog tales about growing up with his white half‑brother Seth in 1980s Toronto\, and later raising his own children in the remote north. There are chicken heists\, Sasquatch sightings\, trapping mishaps\, and children’s chaotic adventures—woven together with accounts of police profiling\, land grabs\, and the haunting legacy of residential schools. Peter’s storytelling is mirrored in the film’s loose\, surreal cartooning\, where wry humor sharpens into satire to evoke the long shadow of life under Canada’s First Nations policies. At once personal and political\, comedic and fraught\, the film offers a disarmingly profound portrait of race\, identity\, and the complex bonds of family.  \n\n\n\nPlus\, a pre-show of classic Canadian animation precedes the film at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\nIt is a picture infused with love — both for family\, and for the creative act (the film took nearly a decade to complete). It is also a generous invitation into the heart of a sprawling extended family. Wendy Ide\, Screen International \n\n\n\n\nEndless Cookie may be the strangest\, most seemingly nonsensical documentary in some time. But there’s one truth to a whackadoodle odyssey like this one: you will definitely have a story to tell afterwards.Pat Mullen\, POV magazine \n\n\n\n\nWhat presents itself outwardly as a freewheeling\, surreally animated selection of anecdotes\, stories\, and observations is able to speak eloquently about the indigenous experience\, both in big Canadian cities and on rural reservations.Andrew Parker\, The Gate \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTᕼIᔕ ᖴIᒪᗰ Iᔕ ᔕᑕᖇEEᑎIᑎG ᗩᔕ ᑭᗩᖇT Oᖴ ᗩᖇKᗩᗪIᑎ’ᔕ ᗯEIᖇᗪ ᑕᗩᑎᗩᗪᗩ ᔕEᖇIEᔕ\, ᖴEᗩTᑌᖇIᑎG OᖴᖴᗷEᗩT\, ᗰᗩᑭᒪE-ᗪᖇEᑎᑕᕼEᗪ ᗪEᒪIGᕼTᔕ ᖴᖇOᗰ TᕼE GᖇEᗩT ᗯᕼITE ᑎOᖇTᕼ. \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+.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Fusing the body horror he began to explore in early work like Shivers and Rabid with the cyber-terror and media anxiety he would mine in films like The Fly and eXistenZ\, Videodrome presages the dark web\, 4chan\, Bumfights\, Pornhub\, and nearly half a century’s worth of illicit ‘entertainment.’ Not every horror movie needs to hold up to be a classic. But\, like most Cronenberg movies… it’s still ahead of the curve.” – The Ringer \n\n\n\nWhen Max Renn goes looking for edgy new material for his sleazy cable TV station\, he stumbles across the pirate broad­­cast of a hyperviolent torture show called “Videodrome.” His attempts to unearth the program’s origins send him on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of right-wing conspiracies\, sado­masochistic sex games\, and bodily trans­formation. Starring James Woods and Blondie’s Debbie Harry\, VIDEODROME is one of the most original and provocative works from writer-director David Cronenberg\, and features ground­breaking makeup effects by Academy Award winner Rick Baker.

SUMMARY:David Cronenberg's SCANNERS (1981) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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“Scanners is a genre classic\, a masterpiece in its own spooky way…It’s a hard-edge\, no-nonsense science fiction thriller.” – Kenneth Turan \n\n\n\nWith SCANNERS\, David Cronenberg plunges us into one of his most terrifying and thrilling sci-fi worlds. After a man with extraordinary—and frighteningly destructive—telepathic abilities is nabbed by agents from a mysterious rogue corporation\, he discovers he is far from the only possessor of such strange powers\, and that some of the other “scanners” have their minds set on world domination\, while others are trying to stop them. A trademark Cronenberg combination of the visceral and the cerebral\, this phenomenally gruesome and provocative film about the expanses and limits of the human mind was the Canadian director’s breakout hit in the United States.

SUMMARY:I'VE HEARD THE MERMAIDS SINGING (1987) presented by Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGirlhood is a semi-regular series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba that spotlights stories of sisterhood on the silver screen. \n\n\n\n“So fresh\, so funny\, so charming\, it amazes the heart.” – Judith Crist \n\n\n\nPolly doesn’t need much. She’s perfectly content to spend her days people-watching\, snapping photos and transforming her tiny apartment into a make-shift darkroom. And daydreaming. Boy\, does she love dreaming. Unfortunately that doesn’t pay the bills\, so she finds work via a temp agency as an assistant. Also unfortunately\, she’s not good at that and has bounced from position to position. But\, for whatever reason\, her new boss at an art gallery has taken a shine to her and offers her a full time gig. She quickly puts her boss on a pedestal and becomes completely enamored with the art scene. Polly decides to anonymously submit some of her own photographs to the curator in hopes of winning her admiration\, only to witness her ripping her work to shreds. Now disenchanted\, Polly also finds herself in over her head when she unintentionally uncovers an unsavory secret at the gallery that could ruin her boss.  \n\n\n\nAn offbeat and heartfelt first feature from filmmaker Patricia Rozema\, I’VE HEARD THE MERMAIDS SINGING captures the highs and lows of finding your footing in adulthood with dreamy surrealistic touches and a delightfully whimsical flair.  \n\n\n\nTᕼIᔕ ᖴIᒪᗰ Iᔕ ᔕᑕᖇEEᑎIᑎG ᗩᔕ ᑭᗩᖇT Oᖴ ᗩᖇKᗩᗪIᑎ’ᔕ ᗯEIᖇᗪ ᑕᗩᑎᗩᗪᗩ ᔕEᖇIEᔕ\, ᖴEᗩTᑌᖇIᑎG OᖴᖴᗷEᗩT\, ᗰᗩᑭᒪE-ᗪᖇEᑎᑕᕼEᗪ ᗪEᒪIGᕼTᔕ ᖴᖇOᗰ TᕼE GᖇEᗩT ᗯᕼITE ᑎOᖇTᕼ. \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:PEACHES GOES BANANAS (2024) w/ Peaches pre-show @ 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An extraordinary piece of filmmaking. Shot over 17 years\, it mingles intimate personal moments with visceral concert footage.” – Eye on Film \n\n\n\nFor 17 years\, director Marie Losier has followed the trailblazing\, provocative\, and taboo-shattering career of artist and musician Peaches. From her early life\, to her ascent towards becoming a queer feminist icon\, her story is one that has defied expectations and exemplified fearless exploration and rebellion. PEACHES GOES BANANAS is an intimate portrait of this singular artist. Capturing her thrilling live shows\, artistic process\, close relationships with her family\, and her rise to fame\, the film is a “poetic… two-decade long conversation between two artists” (The Upcoming). \n\n\n\nBefore the show\, starting at 6:30 pm\, we’ll be mixing up some of Peaches’ best and most outrageous music videos and concert clips. \n\n\n\nTᕼIᔕ ᖴIᒪᗰ Iᔕ ᔕᑕᖇEEᑎIᑎG ᗩᔕ ᑭᗩᖇT Oᖴ ᗩᖇKᗩᗪIᑎ’ᔕ ᗯEIᖇᗪ ᑕᗩᑎᗩᗪᗩ ᔕEᖇIEᔕ\, ᖴEᗩTᑌᖇIᑎG OᖴᖴᗷEᗩT\, ᗰᗩᑭᒪE-ᗪᖇEᑎᑕᕼEᗪ ᗪEᒪIGᕼTᔕ ᖴᖇOᗰ TᕼE GᖇEᗩT ᗯᕼITE ᑎOᖇTᕼ. \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:PUNISHMENT PARK (1971) -- second screening added!
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETS – 5 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserve tickets – 7:30 pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPUNISHMENT PARK is screening twice\, at 5 pm and 7:30 pm. Both screenings are free.All 5 pm tickets have been reserved. A waitlist will open at 4:30 pm.  \n\n\n\n\nIn homage to Renee Nicole Good\, an unarmed mother gunned down by an ICE agent in her own car\, and in recognition of the widespread crackdown on protest by the US government\, including ICE’s teargassing of students at Minneapolis’s Roosevelt High School the same day Good was killed\, Arkadin would like to offer Sunday’s screening of PUNISHMENT PARK for free to all. \n\n\n\nThis film\, about the criminalization of dissent and the violent lengths the US state will go to protect its own racist\, imperialist\, anti-woman power structure\, could not be more timely. \n\n\n\nPUNISHMENT PARK is legendary for provoking intense reactions from audiences\, and we hope this screening can foster a vigorous discussion within our own community about the crisis our country faces and the path forward. \n\n\n\nWe also encourage you to make a donation to the family of Renee Good. \n\n\n\n\n“Is this the most powerful protest film ever made? Raw\, bracing\, visceral and confrontational…feels as vital today as it did back in 1971” – Little White Lies \n\n\n\nOn October 30\, 2025\, one day after his 90th birthday\, legendary British filmmaker Peter Watkins ascended to that great commune in the sky\, leaving behind an uncompromising legacy of socially engaged\, politically radical\, and formally daring cinema that still stands as a challenge to the narcotizing clichés of mainstream filmmaking. We salute Watkins’ life and work with a screening of one of his most blistering and controversial films\, PUNISHMENT PARK\, now celebrating its 60th anniversary. Set in an alternate version of 1970 in which president Richard Nixon has invoked the McCarran Act to crack down on anti-war protesters\, the film imagines a tribunal in which hippies\, Black radicals\, feminists\, and communists are put on trial for subversion. Once convicted\, they’re offered the chance to serve a three-day sentence in “Punishment Park\,” a forbidding patch of the Mojave Desert where they’ll be hunted by police officers and National Guardsmen in a deadly live training exercise. If they survive\, they earn their freedom. But will anyone make it out alive? In this age of ICE raids\, Trumpian fascism\, and hostility to dissent\, PUNISHMENT PARK is absolutely essential viewing. \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\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:Breakdance Battle Comedy MISMATCHED COUPLES presented by St. Louis Video Society
DESCRIPTION:SAINT LOUIS VIDEO SOCIETY digs deep in its extensive archives to present the weirdest\, wildest\, most incredible VHS obscurities. Always free\, always presented by Video Society archivist James Milam! \n\n\n\nSTLVS PRESENTS martial arts legends Donnie Yen and Yuen Woo-Ping in a decidedly different kung fu context with MISMATCHED COUPLES on Monday\, January 12th! Though these two are most known for kicking asses in films like HERO\, IP MAN\, IRON MONKEY\, and SNAKE IN EAGLE’S SHADOW (to name a few) this film is an absolutely freaky\, comedy classic that focuses on competitive breakdancing. That’s right…Donnie’s character Eddie is a breakdance battler and is hopelessly lost in love. Yuen\, in a slapstick supporting role as Mini\, causes serious problems wherever he goes… It’s a surprisingly funny and frantic experience\, and a film that hasn’t really been properly released in the United States. From Tsui Hark’s Cinema City production company\, MISMATCHED COUPLES is a fresh and funky start to your New Year! \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:SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS (1927) presented by Silents\, Please! STL
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by Silents\, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart. \n\n\n\n“Murnau’s silent masterpiece contains some of the most glorious visual set-pieces in the history of cinema.” – Chicago Tribune \n\n\n\nOften considered one of the greatest films ever made—it came in at #11 in the most recent edition of Sight & Sound‘s prestigious poll of film critics—SUNRISE is an enduring testament to the emotive power of cinema. Telling the simple\, yet powerful\, tale of a farmer (George O’Brien)\, bored with country life\, who’s seduced by a city gal (Margaret Livingston) into killing his wife (Janet Gaynor)\, only for the married couple to rediscover their love for each other. Directed by German Expressionist master F.W. Murnau\, then working in the United States\, the film is bursting with grand emotion\, given life by a roving camera that seems to fly through the air. SUNRISE won an Oscar for Unique and Artistic Picture at the very first Academy Awards (a kind of joint Best Picture prize it shared with Wings) and also nabbed a statue for its star Janet Gaynor (an award that was also for her work in two other films; things were more complicated back then). As Roger Ebert wrote in his appreciation of Murnau’s film\, “silent films had a language of their own; they aimed for the emotions\, not the mind\, and the best of them wanted to be\, not a story\, but an experience.” With its great beauty and depth of feeling\, SUNRISE is not just an experience\, but potentially a life-changing one. \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:KIDS IN THE HALL: BRAIN CANDY (1996) w/ "Kids in the Hall" pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A deeply hilarious film…This satire of the pharmaceutical industry goes down like a miracle drug. It is as intensely weird and dark as it is full-throated funny.” – The Globe and Mail \n\n\n\nForget SNL\, Lorne Michaels’ greatest gift to comedy will always be those crazy crossdressing Canucks: Dave Foley\, Bruce McCulloch\, Kevin McDonald\, Mark McKinney\, and Scott Thompson. Or as they’re collectively known\, The Kids in the Hall. Having revolutionized sketch comedy by wedding bizarrely memorable characters with Pythonesque surrealism and a punk-rock attitude\, the Kids turned their hand to the big screen as only they could: By crafting a deeply strange\, unsettlingly dark film about depression and pharmaceutical industry malfeasance that features gags about cancer\, pornography\, and suicide. (The film follows the hilarious fallout from the invention of Gleemonex\, a happiness drug that just so happens to put users into comas.) The result was a critical and commercial flop that put the final nail in the troupe’s already well-secured coffin. But in this age of mass chemical dependency\, the Kids’ one-and-only cinematic effort has aged like fine Prozac. Silly\, absurd\, and genuinely daring in way few comedy films are\, BRAIN CANDY is the perfect prescription for the winter blues. \n\n\n\nPlus\, starting at 6 pm\, we’ll have a pre-show featuring some of the best clips from the legendary original Kids in the Hall sketch show! \n\n\n\nTᕼIᔕ ᖴIᒪᗰ Iᔕ ᔕᑕᖇEEᑎIᑎG ᗩᔕ ᑭᗩᖇT Oᖴ ᗩᖇKᗩᗪIᑎ’ᔕ ᗯEIᖇᗪ ᑕᗩᑎᗩᗪᗩ ᔕEᖇIEᔕ\, ᖴEᗩTᑌᖇIᑎG OᖴᖴᗷEᗩT\, ᗰᗩᑭᒪE-ᗪᖇEᑎᑕᕼEᗪ ᗪEᒪIGᕼTᔕ ᖴᖇOᗰ TᕼE GᖇEᗩT ᗯᕼITE ᑎOᖇTᕼ. \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.
