SUMMARY:D.E.B.S. (2004) -- Sold Out!
DESCRIPTION:This screening is sold out. A waitlist will open in the lobby at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A QUEER CULT CLASSIC… Are there any lesbian films where they just fall in love and have fun and don’t die at the end? The answer is D.E.B.S.” – Vulture \n\n\n\nFun\, frisky\, and fancy-free\, D.E.B.S. is the queer Charlie’s Angels spoof you need in your life! Initially dismissed by the critics as a misbegotten attempt to titillate a horny young male audience\, this piece of pure pop-art fizz is in fact a by-lesbians-for-lesbians delight that\, some 20 years after initial release\, has found its audience. Written and directed by Angela Robinson\, a rare Black queen woman working (however uneasily) within the Hollywood system\, D.E.B.S. is a high-spirited spy comedy about a group of women recruited by a secret test embedded within the SAT to a top-secret espionage school run by the federal government. Hilarious complications ensue when one of the newest recruits\, Amy (Sara Foster)\, falls in love with the agency’s highly alluring top villain Lucy (Jordana Brewster). A bona fide queer cult classic\, D.E.B.S. holds the worthy distinction of enjoying one of the highest ratings rises on cinephile social media site Letterboxd! The people have spoken: SEE D.E.B.S. NOW! \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long celebration of PRIDE\, showcasing a wide array of queer classics\, cult favorites\, and underseen gems. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIWrGxawS7E\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:NAKED KILLER (1992) -- cult classic action thriller about lesbian assassins who shoot men in the dick -- Friday Night WTF -- just $5!
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\nThey’re beautiful. They’re perfect. They’re to DIE for! A supercharged erotic action adventure combining elements of La Femme Nikita and Basic Instinct\, NAKED KILLER is one of the most infamous entries in one of the most notorious subcategories of cinema history\, Hong Kong Category III films! Deliciously sleazy yet surprisingly crowd-pleasing\, NAKED KILLER is a bloody\, scintillating thriller about a violent young woman named Kitty (Chingmy Yau) who is trained as a professional assassin by martial arts expert Sister Cindy (Wai Yiu)\, but affairs are complicated by Kitty’s relationship with impotent police detective Tinam (Simon Yan) and fellow female assassin Princess (Carrie Ng)\, who becomes erotically obsessed with her. Featuring all the dick stabbing and boob fondling you could possibly want\, NAKED KILLER is a true cult classic. \n\n\n\n“Not only has Naked Killer just become one of my favourite Hong Kong category III movies of all time\, but it’s now also one of my favourite movies in general ever!… I want at least ten more of these over-the-top sapphic action movies where women shoot men in the dick and then fondle each other afterwards.” – Lou (rhymes with wow!)\, Letterboxd \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:PONYBOI (2024) -- "a first for intersex representation onscreen"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The thing you need to know about Ponyboi is that it’s so fucking fun. It’s true writer and star River Gallo has crafted a movie with intersex representation unlike anything we’ve seen before… But\, my God\, is this film FUN… Ponyboi is a queer cinema genre pastiche that understands a movie can be artful\, emotional\, and incredibly entertaining.” – Autostraddle \n\n\n\nArkadin is thrilled to present this brand-new release as part of its 2025 Pride program! Unfolding over the course of Valentine’s Day in New Jersey\, PONYBOI is a neon-drenched neo-noir set in the Motorola Razr-flipping days of the early ’00s New Jersey. River Gallo stars as Ponyboi\, a young intersex sex worker on the run from the mob after a drug deal goes sideways\, forcing him to confront his past. Co-written by Gallo\, who adapted their own short film\, PONYBOI is a deeply personal work for Gallo and and a groundbreaking work of intersex representation. Co-starring Dylan O’Brien as Ponyboi’s goofball pimp Vinny and Victoria Pedretti as Vinny’s pregnant girlfriend\, PONYBOI is a showcase for Gallo’s electrifying lead performance. But it’s also a thrilling genre exercise peppered with dark humor\, fantasy\, and a deeply felt sense of time and place.  \n\n\n\n\n“A first for intersex representation onscreen” – Pajiba \n\n\n\n“A sexy\, sweaty fever dream” – The Hollywood Reporter \n\n\n\n“One hell of a wild\, intense ride through New Jersey’s underbelly” – Screen Zealots \n\n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long celebration of PRIDE\, showcasing a wide array of queer classics\, cult favorites\, and underseen gems. \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 MYSTERY MOVIE: A Weird\, Wild\, Totally Offbeat Road Movie
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\nOur June Mystery Movie is a highly unusual yet remarkably entertaining journey into the festering underbelly of the American dream. Imagine Pee-wee’s Big Adventure if it were directed by David Lynch and…well… maybe that’s not exactly what this is\, but it’s as close as one can come to describing this truly singular offbeat gem\, a forgotten mid-budget indie road movie with an incredibly stacked cast. Laden with absurdist humor\, surrealistic touches\, and a basic premise that must be seen to be believed\, this should-be cult classic will leave you wondering\, “Who exactly were they making this movie for?” The answer: weirdos like you and me. \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.
