This is the story of the Butthole Surfers, a band that defied every rule and redefined what rock could be. Emerging from Texas in the early 1980s, Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary forged an anarchic path across America’s underground, creating chaotic live shows filled with nudity, fake blood, and blistering psychedelic noise. Their name alone was a challenge to Reagan-era conformity, yet their influence rippled through alternative music, shaping acts like Nirvana and securing them a cult legacy. Featuring candid interviews, wild archival footage, trippy reenactments, and commentary from icons like Flea, Dave Grohl, and Richard Linklater, this long-anticipated documentary is as provocative, funny, and fearless as the band itself
Godzilla (aka Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies.

Our season-long SUMMER OF GODZILLA series with Snake Eyes Comics has built to a suitably earth-scorching finale as we pair 1954's original GODZILLA with 1989 fan favorite GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE! GODZILLA (1954, 4K) | GODZILLA (a.k.a. GOJIRA) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels. (Janus Films) GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE (1989, 4K) | Diving into delirious realms of imagination, this second film of the Godzilla franchise’s 1980s resurgence showcased the towering beast for a new generation of fans. This time, Godzilla’s foe is one of the series’ most wondrously strange kaiju creations: Biollante—a mutant plant genetically engineered from the cells of a rose, a renegade scientist’s dead daughter, and Godzilla itself. With a wild plot encompassing spies, psychic children, and bonkers biotechnology—and some of the coolest special effects in the history of Japanese cinema—GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE stands as a high point in the ever-evolving mythology of the King of the Monsters.

Gloria Swanson, as Norma Desmond, an aging silent-film queen, and William Holden, as the struggling young screenwriter who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screen's most memorable characters in "Sunset Boulevard." Winner of three Academy Awards®, director Billy Wilder's powerful orchestration of the bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence -- a body found floating in a decayed mansion's swimming pool -- through the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, "Sunset Boulevard" is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood. Erich von Stroheim as Desmond's discoverer, ex-husband and butler, and Nancy Olson as the bright spot amidst unrelenting ominousness, are equally celebrated for their masterful performances.
RBloody violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and some language

Filmmaker Rustin Thompson journeys into the American West on a search for traces of what was once a center of small-town life: the movie theater. On the trip, he finds long abandoned and forgotten cinemas; movie houses that have fallen into disrepair; theaters recently closed, theaters struggling to hold on, and theaters that—thanks to their thoughtful caretakers—are not only surviving but thriving. Between the stops along the way, Rustin poetically intersperses excerpts from Peter Bogdanovich’s 1971 classic film The Last Picture Show, as well as reflections on past and present hardships facing the film exhibition industry. The Last Picture Shows is not only a timely portrait of an industry in crisis, one facing the headwinds of consolidation, streaming, and the diminishing theatrical experience, but it also reminds viewers that even in vast cinema deserts, there are oases of community and gathering that remain, where the movie house continues to be a place of wonder, contemplation, and connection.
