SUMMARY:IDIOCRACY (2006) w/ American Idiot 250th Semiquincentennial Pre-show presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A movie that was originally a comedy\, but became a documentary.” – Urban Dictionary \n\n\n\nU.S. Army librarian Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) takes part in an experimental government hibernation program that goes afoul and results in Joe reawakening five hundred years later in a painfully stupid dystopia in the cult comedy Idiocracy (2006). The inept authorities are unable to identify Joe\, leading to a correctional facility renaming him “Not Sure” before subjecting him to an aptitude test. Despite being of average intelligence in his own time\, he returns the highest IQ in the world from this basic aptitude test in the year 2505. Soon the President of the United States\, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (Terry Crews) tasks “Not Sure” with fixing the country’s food supply\, economy and massive dust storms within a week under threat of imprisonment.  \n\n\n\nDirected by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead\, Office Space)\, Idiocracy was given a limited release by 20th Century Fox in 2006. The studio seemingly intentionally buried the film\, providing virtually no movie trailers\, ads or press kits\, and resulting in a less than $500\,000 box office in its limited theatrical run. However\, the film has since gone on to garner a devoted cult fanbase with its parody of dysgenics\, corporate sponsored politics and anti-intellectualism. Idiocracy also stars Maya Rudolph as Rita the sex worker and Dax Shepard as Frito the Lawyer.    \n\n\n\nAn American Idiot 250th Semiquincentennial Preshow starts 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. 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:Steven King's SILVER BULLET (1985) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Silver Bullet is a whole ton of fun\, and even though it’s not one of the scariest of werewolf movies\, it’s one of the more memorable ones.” – AV Nirvana \n\n\n\nYoung Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim) has an imagination and a love of life that far outpace his disabled legs. Buddying up with his Uncle Red (Gary Busey\, never better)\, he scores a ride called the Silver Bullet\, which is half wheelchair and half badass motorbike. And just in time\, too\, for his hometown of Tarker’s Mills has become the new stomping ground for a werewolf. Can Marty identify the monster in their midst\, and outrun the devil to get home in time? Based on Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf\, Silver Bullet is one of the most charming entries in King’s storied catalog. Pitched perfectly between heartfelt horror and tongue-in-cheek camp\, it’s a full-moon thrill ride that serves up the scares without ever skimping out on the fun. \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:PSYCHO BEACH PARTY (2000) w/ Surf Rock pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Blend a ‘50s psychodrama\, a ’60s beach movie and a ‘70s slasher film. Result: PSYCHO BEACH PARTY\, a campy smoothie.” – Mademoiselle \n\n\n\nBased on Charles Busch’s hilarious long-running stage play\, Psycho Beach Party is a wickedly fun satire of slashers\, surf movies\, and Sirkian psychodramas. Chicklet (Lauren Ambrose)\, a wannabe surf-girl with a split personality\, becomes the prime suspect in a string of outrageously gruesome murders that terrifies the teen set in 1960s Malibu. But Chicklet isn’t the only suspect… There’s also the burnt-out surf guru\, a band of local beach hunks\, a platinum-blonde B-movie star\, a Swedish foreign exchange student\, Chicklet’s too-perfect mom\, and more. Only uber-stylish homicide detective Monica Stark (writer/director Charles Busch in drag) can crack the case in this free-wheeling murder-mystery-satire-surf-film! Keep an eye out for Amy Adams in one of her earliest roles as a sex-mad teen and performances by surf rock legends Los Straitjackets. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Surf Rock music videos pre-show\, starting at 6 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:Trippy animated classic FANTASTIC PLANET (1973)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Surreal and psychedelic…a counterculture gem!” – Jacob Burns Film Center \n\n\n\nNothing else has ever looked or felt like director René Laloux’s animated marvel Fantastic Planet\, a politically minded and visually inventive work of science fiction. The film is set on a distant planet called Ygam\, where enslaved humans (Oms) are the playthings of giant blue native inhabitants (Draags). After Terr\, kept as a pet since infancy\, escapes from his gigantic child captor\, he is swept up by a band of radical fellow Oms who are resisting the Draags’ oppression and violence. With its eerie\, coolly surreal cutout animation by Roland Topor; brilliant psychedelic jazz score by Alain Goraguer; and wondrous creatures and landscapes\, this Cannes-awarded 1973 counterculture classic is a perennially compelling statement against conformity and violence. \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\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' rarely screened first feature MONDO TRASHO (1969) -- FREE!
DESCRIPTION:“Bizarre! Insane! Macabre! [A] delight to trash lovers everywhere” – Derek Winnert \n\n\n\nA trash cinema spectacle combining the queer-underground ethos of Kenneth Anger and Andy Warhol with a carnival freak show\, Mondo Trasho is where it all began for the Pope of Trash. A delirious collage of surreal sketches\, outrageous characters\, and gleeful provocation\, John Waters’ debut feature is raw\, cheap\, and defiantly unpolished. Made on a budget of a couple thousand dollars and scored to a nonstop array of early rock ‘n’ roll\, Mondo Trasho stars Waters’ Dreamland Players\, including Mink Stole\, David Lochary\, Mary Vivian Pearce\, and the immortal Divine in a make-it-up-as-it-goes-along plot involving moonings\, a hit and run\, a hippie foot fetishist\, a deranged insane asylum\, the Virgin Mary\, and chicken foot surgery. Never released on DVD or Blu-ray due to music licensing issues\, Mondo Trasho is a rare opportunity to see Waters’ mad genius take shape. As the film’s original poster announced\, “At last… a gutter film.” \n\n\n\nBut be warned! This movie is not for everyone. Like other early Waters films\, it contains violence toward chickens and other nasty content. \n\n\n\nThis screening is totally free. No ticket is required; seating is first come\, first served. \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:FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST (1992): Fundraiser for Friends of the Rainforest
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a night of family-friendly nostalgia and save the rainforest at the same time with this very special fundraiser screening of FernGully!

SUMMARY:POLYESTER (1981) presented in Odorama! plus Blondie pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re presenting Polyester as the Prince of Puke intended it to be seen (and smelled)—in Odorama! Each ticket includes a scratch-‘n’-sniff Odorama card from Smell Art\, so you can fill your nose with farts\, skunk smells\, car leather\, and more as the film delivers on-screen cues. \n\n\n\n“A rancidly hilarious slice of American Pie!” – Newsweek \n\n\n\nFor his first studio picture\, filth maestro John Waters took advantage of his biggest budget yet to allow his muse Divine to sink his teeth into a role unlike any he had played before: Baltimore housewife Francine Fishpaw\, a heroine worthy of a Douglas Sirk melodrama. Blessed with a keen sense of smell and cursed with a philandering pornographer husband\, a parasitic mother\, and a pair of delinquent children\, the long-suffering Francine turns to the bottle as her life falls apart—until deliverance appears in the form of a hunk named Todd Tomorrow (vintage heartthrob Tab Hunter). One of Waters’ most hilarious inventions\, Polyester is replete with stomach-churning humor\, sadistic nuns\, AA meetings\, and foot stomping galore. \n\n\n\nPlus\, in honor of Polyester‘s Debbie Harry-penned original songs\, we’ll have a Blondie pre-show starting at 6 pm. \n\n\n\nEach ticket includes an Odorama card. You will pick up the card at the concession stand when you check in. \n\n\n\nThis screening is not available for booking with the Club Arkadin pass. \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:CAMP (2025) -- a dreamy\, witchy new horror film by Avalon Fast
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“With her sophomore feature\, emerging director Avalon Fast cements herself as one of the most daring young voices in indie horror… Unfolds with a fearless sense of interiority\, an ethereal horror about young women [and] the magic they create to survive.“ – ScreenAnarchy \n\n\n\nThe Craft goes to camp in this dreamily atmospheric coming-of-age chiller from up-and-coming “Girl Horror” auteur Avalon Fast (whom you may have seen starring in recent Arkadin selection The Serpent’s Skin). Camp stars Zola Grimmer as Emily\, a teen girl struggling with two recent tragedies\, who takes a job as a counselor at a summer camp for troubled youth. Emily is taken in by the other counselors and initiated into their witchy ways\, but there’s a voice out there in the woods Emily can’t ignore\, telling her to go home. Winner of Best Feature in Fantastic Fest’s Next Wave competition\, joining past awardees like It Follows and Timecrimes\, Camp is an ethereal trip into the dark forest of female adolescence. \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of her generation’s brightest voices” \n\n\n\n\n“Further evidence that Avalon Fast is one of her generation’s brightest voices\, one that sings about the beautiful and ugly sides of female friendship\, as well as the horrors of existing as a young woman.” \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\n\n\nDread Central \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Incredibly accomplished” \n\n\n\n\n“An incredibly accomplished\, beautifully realized and compellingly elusive piece of work that will bewitch audiences with its memorable visuals\, three-dimensional characters and its intriguing portrayal of female relationships.” \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nIn Their Own League \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Will strike a nerve” \n\n\n\n\n“Unfurls like a dream\, impossibly lovely and faintly unreal… An achingly melancholy coming-of-age film that will strike a nerve for anyone who was once a girl lost in the dense and tangled forest of adolescence.” \n\n\n\n\n\nHorror Press \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: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.

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: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.
