CineClub Presents: M20 Matamoros Ejido 20
M20 Matamoros ejido 20’ is Leonor Maldonado’s debut film.
This documentary captures incredible choreography, dancing from the Matachines, and a remarkable street dance performed by a group of young people from Matamoros, Tamaulipas. This documentary also collects the testimonies of a youth that moves between fear, rage, euphoria, and the secrecy of experiencing the violent life of the border.
Seven Deadly Scenes: Sick of Myself (2022)
This is a movie John Waters called “pretty f*cked up”—and he’s not wrong.
You ever lie just a teeny bit for attention? Exaggerate a story maybe or claimed you saw something you didn’t, just to get people talking? Well you’re a coward compared to Signe. This is a woman who fully commits to the bit.
A barista living with her pretentious “artist” boyfriend Thomas—who’s been hogging the spotlight a little too much lately—Signe hears about a Russian drug with nightmarish side effects and orders a ton off the dark web. Suddenly, her phone is blowing up, she’s getting likes on social media, she’s got all of the Scandinavian bourgeois eating out of the palm of her decaying, flesh-rotted hand. Next stop, the world!
This is a movie John Waters called “pretty f*cked up”—and he’s not wrong. It’s a deranged satirical commentary on how the attention economy has us all in a chokehold. What’s disturbing isn’t just how far Signe is willing to go—it’s how, on some level, it makes perfect sense.

The sequel no one asked for, but we all absolutely needed is an unending joyride which finally answers the question “What happens when some super cool dudes decide it's a good idea to have a bachelor party after-hours in their humorless office building with improbably attractive strippers who somehow agree to that gig (one of whom just happens to be BATTLE QUEEN 2020 star and Heavy Metal Magazine cover girl miss Julie Strain), but then Psycho Cop shows up and starts killing everybody, but also sending faxes of severed body parts?”
The answer? Mayhem. Carnage. Faxes. Hilarity. Wonder. Joy. More faxes! Just... so many faxes. Join us at the store Friday, February 29th at 8pm. We're telling you, this is going to be the best bachelor party you've ever seen!
***Please note: prior knowledge of Psycho Cop One is not a requirement for enjoyment of Psycho Cop 2.

Charles is a woman-shy snake expert just returning from a year-long expedition up the Amazon. The young women aboard the ship compete for his attention, but Charles is more concerned with reading about snakes.

AniMondays: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)
I'd be an idiot if I didn't go!
ANIMONDAYS exists to exhibit great works of animation from all over the world (but mostly Japan). This month, it's international escapades with Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro!
Lupin III, gentleman thief extraordinaire, has just pulled off a major heist at a Monte Carlo casino. But what's this? The money is all counterfeit! As Lupin and his crew try to get the bottom of the situation, they discover a plot involving a nefarious Italian count, his unwilling bride-to-be, and heaps of glorious treasure waiting in the Castle of Cagliostro.
Released in 1979, this film is the feature-length debut for acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki (who would later create Studio Ghibli). This action-comedy is a James-bond style romp that helped cement Miyazaki's style and launch his career, in turn influencing animators all over the world. Rated PG* for smoking, occasional coarse language, and intense action.
*Japan uses a different rating system; this is our best approximation.
Adaptations Book Club: In the Cut
Adaptaions Book Club is a monthly screening series where we meet to answer the age old question: is the book better?
Central and Remote
The strength of an Austin, TX, couple’s relationship is tested when they invite a down-on-his-luck friend to stay with them. Unspoken tensions surface as all three negotiate professional unease and seek a sense of belonging.
The strength of an Austin, TX-based couple's relationship is tested when Isabel (KarieAnn Randol) reluctantly allows her boyfriend Nicholas (Peetie McCook) to invite down-on-his-luck friend Lee (Luke Lanza) to stay with them. Lee's intrusion compounds tensions in Isabel and Nicholas' relationship, and the three start to wonder whether the act of compromise has reached its limits. As Lee, Nicholas, and Isabel navigate difficulties in their careers and creative endeavors and struggle with gaps in communication, they find their lives revolving around a missing center, with centrifugal forces pushing them in opposite directions.
Andreas Streuli is an emerging filmmaker living in Austin, Texas. Central and Remote is his first feature film. He previously made a short film, Empty Road. He currently works for Film Kids, a local nonprofit that provides filmmaking education in public elementary schools across the city.

SunGAYs: Socket
PLUG IN…GET OFF!
An indie queer erotic thriller that can only be described as “Videodrome meets Shocker meets Crash (1996)” and that’s only scratching the surface.
After being struck by lightning, Dr. Bill Matthews recovers in the hospital where he also works. An intern named Craig Murphy slips him a card inviting him to a meeting of "people just like us." In this "group," Bill finds other survivors who have been electrocuted in various ways. But he soon discovers that the members are addicted to the electric current. And not only does Bill become hooked, his relationship with sexy Dr. Craig Murphy deepens, setting a chain of events into shocking motion.
Filming for Socket took place over only nine days. This thing is a beaut.
Odd World Presents: Thunderpants

Seven Deadly Scenes: Seven (1995)
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
This movie truly has everything: gluttony, greed, sloth, lust, pride, envy, wrath. You name it, it’s here and it’s NASTY. David Fincher knocks it out of the park with this crime thriller starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and some creep named Kevin. If you haven’t seen this, you’re in for a real treat and if you have, don’t spoil what’s in the box!
This is the final installment of the Seven Deadly Sins series, hope y’all had fun along the way and stay tuned for what’s next.
Pulsing Cinema: Jungle Heat (1983)
Killing is the only way out
Come for the Jungle Adventure, Stay for the Rubber Monsters! Strap in and prepare for a movie that dares to ask, what if Romancing the Stone had way less romance, way more fog machines, and an unlimited budget for rubbery reptile creatures? Starring the always-effortless Peter Fonda as a jaded helicopter pilot and Deborah Raffin as an anthropologist on a mission to find a legendary lizard-thing, this movie delivers everything you never knew you needed: steamy jungle locales, droning synth scores, and creatures that look like they escaped from a high school theater department’s fever dream. And just when you think it couldn’t get any weirder—John Amos pops in for a cameo that defies all logic and reason.
Directed by the genre-hopping Gus Trikonis—who danced his way out of West Side Story and into a career of offbeat classics like The Evil and Take This Job and Shove It—this film is the perfect mix of adventure, horror, and unintentional comedy. Whether you know it as Dance of the Dwarfs, Jungle Heat, or Easy Flyer (because, you know, Peter Fonda), this is one expedition you won’t forget—no matter how hard you try.
So, grab your best khakis, practice your terrified jungle screams, and join us for a screening that will leave you questioning everything—especially how this movie exists in the first place.

Odd World: Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
On December 17th, Odd World returns to ask the question- how far is too far? Freddy Got Fingered is a disgusting, reprehensible, misguided, and ultimately brilliantly transgressive piece of anti art from comedian Tom Green. Releasing to abysmal reviews, complete box office failure, and sweeping the Golden Raspberry Awards, Freddy Got Fingered was largely considered “one of the worst films ever made” until recently when some absolute weirdos started to reevaluate it. It’s me- I’m the absolute weirdo. Come wrap up this first season of Odd World with a bang. As always entry, beer and hop water from St Elmo’s Brewing, and the lifelong friendships you will forge are free. Unfortunately this time the cost is your sanity and basic human decency.
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Boy, that’s scary stuff! Should we be worried about the kids in the audience?
Nah! it’s alright. This is culture!
Die Hard
Hans, Bubby. This is the movie for you.
Doors: 7:00PM Movie: 7:20PM
Yes, it’s a Christmas movie. It’s spelled out in the first ten minutes of the film.
“Don’t you got any Christmas music?”
“This IS Christmas music.”
In the same way Run-D.M.C.’s Christmas in Hollis redefines holiday music with hip-hop beats, Die Hard reimagines what a Christmas movie can be. It even features a festive “Ho-ho-ho” moment. Facts. Like Argyle’s limo tunes, Die Hard challenges us to think outside Nakatomi Plaza and reimagine what holiday stories can look like—and in this case, it’s machine guns and explosions decorating the tree alongside more traditional themes of family, redemption, and holiday office party overindulgence.
Jason X
Just when You Thought Space Was… Well. Nevermind.
Doors: 7:00PM Movie 7:20PM
Is it the best movie in the franchise? God no.
Is it in the top 3? Doubtfully.
Is it the most unhinged? Certainly.
Does it have possibly the best kill/s in the franchise? YES!
Join us for a special Friday the 13th screening of Jason X, presented by Sarah Froelich and Blood Shed Theatre. This over-the-top slasher sends Jason Voorhees to space, of course, and what happens from there is anybody’s guess.
