‘90s queer teen cinema at it’s best to kick of Pride Month! Gregg Araki’s THE DOOM GENERATION (1995) is an intelligent and satirical look at American youth culture and its relationship with the media. It’s one hell of a journey into oblivion – pure teen angst on speed. With an excellent debut performance from Rose McGowan. Araki takes viewers  on a voyage into mayhem. Jordan White (James Duval) and Amy Blue (McGowan) , two troubled teens, pick up an adolescent drifter, Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech). Together, the threesome embark on a sex and violence-filled journey through an America of psychos and quickiemarts.

THE DOOM GENERATION has a collection of the best socially inept one liners ever-used on celluloid. It will have you repeating them in the most inappropriate of places. Watch for cameos from Parker Posey, Margaret Cho, Christopher “Peter Brady”  Knight, Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, and St. Louis’ own Dustin Nguyen (Kirkwood High School class of 1980!) Check it and enjoy it Wednesday, June 7th at 8pm at  Schlafly Bottleworks Restaurant and Bar (7260 Southwest Ave.- at Manchester – Maplewood, MO 63143)
