THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!! Have you gotten your tickets yet?? If filth is your politics and filth is your life, come out to the Twin Cities' filthiest film screening of 2026!

hell yes

A film that feels almost impossible to comprehensively talk about in the span of two hours, but the Trylove guys always find a way! Noise music, being a woman in an industry built on misogyny, Internet-era decontextualized dehumanization, Gina Gershon's "I ❤️ Gossip" shirt... we talk about it all!

I assure you...

It's Hollywood's biggest night

I am begging movie watchers to have any other take coming away from a film than "damn that ending / last shot was crazy"

URGENT NEED FOR SUPPORT! March is right around the corner, and our neighbors need our help to stay in their homes. Our neighbors in Central are doing amazing work to help meet this need, and there are 175 families still in need of urgent support which means $249,000 are needed.
