The body's largest sex organ is the brain. Sinema Club stimulates yours with films that are explicitly erotic, homo-romantic, or gender-exploring -- and always thought-provoking. A rousing discussion follows; drinking is encouraged throughout, and mingling happens before, during and after: the bar lounge remains open for socializing, while the film plays in the main space. Plus: free popcorn from our vintage cart. Order in from the many restaurants around, and make it dinner and a movie.

Amouse bouche: ONE LEG IN, ONE LEG OUT (2018) - A documentary short by Lisa Rideout. After a decade as a sex worker, Iman attempts to pursue her dream of becoming a social worker to help her transgender community members.

Main feature: ANORA (2024) - Surprising Oscar winner, and a movie that's been in our queue since premiering, by a director we trust to depict queer and SWer lives since his earliest works, Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project)

Sinema Club is curated and hosted by Phil Guie-Ng (@thatphilguymovies): an inquisitive, ardent longtime film critic who is dying to tell you about movies you haven't heard of yet. As a reviewer at the website Film-Forward, his self-appointed mission was covering documentaries and features about subjects who challenged conventional attitudes about gender, masculinity, and more. When Phil isn't writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.

*Sinema Club happens on the third Wednesday of every month

***Plus: House of Scorpio Clubhouse. Whatever your membership level, you are invited to use our space as your own for the night...as your clubhouse. While the ticketed activities will take place on the stage side of the room, the bar and lounge will remain open 7pm-11pm (12am if enough people are lounging). Just like with regular events, if you're Friend level and above, you can bring up to two friends with you. Order in dinner, have a few drinks, run a friendly board game, or just read a book on the comfy couch. This is not a mixer -- just us opening our doors for our members. It's up to you how much you socialize, if at all, and with whom.

Respiratory safety: HoS requires proof of COVID vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.
