DCist's highly subjective and hardly comprehensive guide to the most interesting movies playing around town in the coming week. more ›

It's been a roller coaster of a year for the Washington Psychotronic Film Society. But Dr. Schlock & friends have finally found a new (and hopefully stable) home at The Warehouse, where they'll take up weekly residence beginning March 17. For those who haven't been following the play-by-play of the whole saga, let's recap. First, WPFS lost its longtime home when Dr. Dremo's finally met with the inevitable and went condo. After spending much of last year in a temporary stint at the Arlington Cinema 'n' Drafthouse's restaurant next door, the Old Arlington Grill, they picked up stakes again for a more central (and Metro-accessible) location on this side of the river at The Meeting Place. But the group's off-kilter cinematic aesthetic offended the delicate sensibilities of the bar's regular happy-hour crowd, who found the screening of R-rated films in a bar to be one step over the line. We guess some people are actually offended by cannibal sodomy; who knew The Meeting Place was the FCC's watering hole of choice? more ›

One of the unfortunate bits of collateral damage associated with the closing of Dr. Dremo's was that the Washington Psychotronic Film Society was rendered homeless as well. WPFS has been in operation in the D.C. area for 20 years now, and housed their weekly screenings of eclectic films at Dremo's since 2000. For my own part, I can remember discovering them around that time, as I was a frequent visitor to the downstairs pool room at Dremo's, and one night we showed up to discover a low-budget Asian sci-fi film playing in the background. Getting loaded while playing pool and keeping half an eye on whatever cracked piece of cinema WPFS had going on during the week became a favorite pastime. It was disappointing to see them go on indefinite hiatus along with Dremo's after the taphouse's doors closed in January. more ›
