In a near future where Earth’s plants and animals survive only inside orbiting greenhouses, botanist Freeman Lowell, played by Bruce Dern, defies an order to destroy the last specimens and sets a course for Saturn with the ship’s three service robots he names Huey, Dewey, and Louie. The film blends striking visual effects, folk songs by Joan Baez, and a fully committed lead performance with a clear ecological message. Critic Mark Kermode has described it as both a great work of science fiction and deeply moving.

The Turtles film brings Eastman and Laird’s underground comic to the screen as four mutant turtles from the New York City sewers attempt to rescue their mentor Splinter from Shredder and the Foot Clan, directed by Steve Barron and featuring the final creature costumes designed by Jim Henson. It was a major hit in 1990 and held the distinction of top grossing independent film for close to a decade. In Critters, a pack of furry alien Krites lands in rural Kansas and terrorizes a farmhouse family while a shape shifting bounty hunter adopts the persona of rocker Johnny Steele. The film marks its 40th anniversary and launched four horror comedy sequels. This Critters Cut was conceived and edited by Jon Scorfina of Strange Brew and Michael Morlaine of Dark Dream Cinema. Presented by Strange Brew, St. Louis’s long running cult film series and the 2025 A-List Award winner for Best Movie Night in St. Louis, with an introduction by Strange Brew programmer Jon Scorfina. Toy Division STL will set up a Ninja Turtle pop up toy shop in the Arkadin lobby.

On a remote island famed for its extraordinary ecology and an ever growing reef, the community maintains that there is no grief because there is no suffering. Celia arrives hoping to belong, to be restored, and to finally believe. New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert describes the book as gloriously eerie, filled with unreliable perspectives, and deeply affecting. Gailey will be in conversation with Left Bank Books’ Danielle King. After the talk, Gailey will personalize and sign books, and signed or personalized copies can be mailed across the country.

The Howard Levy 4

At Blue Strawberry STL, The Howard Levy 4 brings a Chicago-based sound that moves with ease through jazz, Latin, world music, and blues. Led by Grammy-winning harmonica innovator, pianist, and composer Howard Levy, the quartet features guitarist Chris Siebold, bassist Joshua Ramos on upright and electric bass, and Brazilian drummer Luiz Ewerling. Their set blends imaginatively reworked American and Brazilian pieces with original compositions that draw on many cultures and rhythms. Levy has released 17 albums as a leader and appears on hundreds more. He co-founded Béla Fleck and the Flecktones and has recorded and performed with Kenny Loggins, Paquito D’Rivera, Donald Fagen, and Kurt Elling. His groundbreaking approach turned the diatonic harmonica into a fully chromatic voice while preserving its blues character, opening wide creative possibilities. On stage he moves between harmonica and piano with striking fluency, sometimes intertwining both for surprising textures. Publications such as the Chicago Tribune and JazzTimes have praised his extraordinary virtuosity and buoyant piano style, noting influences that include McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock. Siebold, the house guitarist for A Prairie Home Companion, adds deep experience across jazz and fusion. Ramos, who spent five years with Ramsey Lewis, is a sought-after bassist. Ewerling’s Brazilian roots enrich the ensemble’s rhythm and color. Their EP, Live from Chicago, showcases the group’s energetic, genre-spanning reach.

David Cronenberg’s EXISTENZ (1999) — Friday Night WTF!

Friday Night WTF at Arkadin Cinema & Bar features David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ, a sci-fi horror dive into video games, virtual reality, and corporate conspiracy. In a near-future world where games plug into players through an electronic umbilical cord, game designer Allegra Geller, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, survives an assassination attempt and goes on the run with her publicist, portrayed by Jude Law. Pursued by a black market bio-port mechanic played by Willem Dafoe, they slip into the digital realm of Allegra’s latest creation to stay ahead of danger. Echoing the nerve-jangling spirit of Videodrome, the film unleashes unsettling creatures, tactile bio-controllers, and a narrative that blurs the boundary between twisted fantasy and hard reality, perfectly suited to this series’ taste for offbeat, what-am-I-watching selections.
