Your life is ending one minute at a time—why not spend 240 of them with fist fighting, lesbian yearning, and sweaty male bonding?
Shake off those end-of-summer blues with a ferocious double feature at the Wex! High schoolers Josie (Ayo Edebiri) and PJ (Rachel Sennott) are best friends, lesbians, and definitely losers. United in their quest to lose their virginities, they start a fight club with the hopes of getting closer to the cheerleaders of their dreams. Laugh-out-loud funny and absurd, Bottoms defies teen comedy tropes to ask: to what lengths must unpopular kids go to get laid? (92 mins., DCP)
Afterward, refresh your popcorn and soda and stick around for David Fincher’s Fight Club. An adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel, this dark and surreal drama has been on its own queer journey since its 1999 release. In the last 25 years, Fight Club’s reputation as a hypermasculine, super cynical critique of American consumer culture has been revisited by many a Gen Z’er who pick up on (not so subtle) homoerotic subtext. Fight Club dares to ask: to what lengths must men go to touch each other and feel alive? (139 mins., DCP)
There will be a brief intermission between the two films.
Attention students: your tickets, an order of popcorn, and sodas are on the house!
