In a parallel world, human hearts can take almost any form. Each person has a uniquely shaped heart: one might look like a toaster, another like a mushroom, a rock, a lamp, or a frog. What’s more, they’re easily removed (not a gory process), which frees the owner from emotional turmoil but leads to long-term detrimental effects. The central characters live in a society where treatment for negative emotional states is freely available, although the treatments are bizarre. Relying heavily on metaphors, this is a love story with a lot to say about emotional connections between people and the difficulty in forming them. ■ Title — *With Love and a Major Organ* ■ Director — Kim Albright ■ Cast — Anna Maguire, Hamza Haq, Veena Sood ■ Unrated, suitable for general audiences ■ ©2023 \| 1h 31m \| Drama ■ Distributed by Cineverse

In a parallel world where everyone has an innate “frequency,” those with high frequencies are gifted, popular, and – most importantly – lucky. People in lower ranges have correspondingly less of these traits but more emotional depth. When someone with extremely high frequency is in close proximity to someone especially low, chaos ensues. A boy and girl at opposite extremes of the scale meet in elementary school and encounter each other repeatedly over many years. While the story seems at first to be a *Romeo and Juliet* variation in search of a happy ending, their universe has some secrets that will make the action weirder and more entertaining than anyone could expect. ■ Title — *Frequencies* ■ A.K.A. — *OXV: The Manual* ■ Director — Darren Paul Fisher ■ Cast — Daniel Fraser, Eleanor Wyld, Owen Pugh ■ Unrated, suitable for teens and adults ■ ©2013 \| 1h 49m \| Mystery\, Romance\, Sci\-Fi ■ Distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films ■ Licensed for showing in Alexandria libraries by Swank Motion Pictures

**NOTE: Meetup is SUNDAY this month!** Apparently, there has been a war between the land and the sea, but it's too intense for us Americans to handle I guess? While we wait for Disney to do whatever it's gonna do, let's take our own journey under, over, and around the sea with the Doctor and his hardy companions. Choose from one of these water-logged adventures... *The Underwater Menace* \- The Second Doctor\, Ben\, Polly\, and Jamie arrive on the seacoast and immediately get kidnapped by Atlanteans \(like you do\)\. Taken to the lost city of Atlantis\, they become embroiled in the schemes of the mad Professor Zaroff\, who can \- we are reliably informed \- be stopped by nuzzink in ze vorld\! \[This story has 2 live action episodes and 2 animated episodes\.\] *Warriors of the Deep -* The 5th Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough arrive in the distant future to find Earth split into warring factions poised to annihilate each other with atomic weapons. Like that could ever happen. As if tensions could not get any worse, the Silurians and Sea Devils have once again awoken from their long hibernation - and they are super cranky about it. *Under the Lake/After the Flood -* The 12th Doctor and Clara also arrive at an underwater base, but fortunately there are no Silurians or Sea Devils - just ghosts trying to murder them. Phew. *Curse of the Black Spot/Legend of the Sea Devils* \- The 11th Doctor\, Amy\, and Rory arrive on a pirate ship where even the slightest sign of illness or injury leads to apparent death\.\.\. or does it? Then\, the 13th Doctor\, Yaz\, and Dan swashbuckle their way through an adventure with the legendary Madame Ching and a fashionably dressed Sea Devil\. When you RSVP, please rank the four options above in the comments in the order of preference (1 being "Yes! I am dying to see it!" and 4 being "Meh."), and we will abide by the choice of the attendees. For the Meetup itself, we ask everyone to bring something to drink and something to eat (snacks/munchies - you don't need to bring a whole ham or something!) to share with the group. We'll have food and drink as well and maybe a themed cocktail if the inspiration strikes... We are a couple blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro (15th and Harvard NW). We'll provide the full address ahead of the event. Note also that we are a walk-up - two flights of stairs. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

His days are governed by a meticulous routine: he wakes at dawn to the sound of a street sweeper, tends to his maple saplings, and drives his small van through the city to his job cleaning public toilets. Despite the seemingly lowly nature of his work, Hirayama performs his duties with the grace and precision of a master craftsman, finding deep contentment in the order and service he provides. | The core of Perfect Days is a celebration of presence and the dignity of labor\. Director Wim Wenders suggests that a meaningful life is not found in grand ambitions or material wealth\, but in the intentional appreciation of the here and now\. The film posits that true freedom comes from accepting life's limitations and finding 'perfection' in the subtle\, fleeting moments of harmony between humanity and nature\, encapsulated in the Japanese concept of Komerobi\. \|

**NOTE: This is *NOT* a screening, please watch the movie before the discussion.** **CONTENT WARNING: Disease, mutilation, abortion.** **This film contains extreme body horror and prolonged depictions of illness and bodily decay. It also includes references to pregnancy loss and a graphic act involving the removal of a fetus from a woman’s body. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.** Please read the original manga ahead of the dicussion: https://mangadex.org/chapter/bf397fc1-17bc-4fa1-8cd7-2cfd35f8170c Hideshi Hino's *Mermaid in a Manhole* is body horror stripped of bravado. When a lonely artist encounters a dying mermaid trapped in an underground sewer, he attempts to care for her — documenting her condition as her body deteriorates in disturbing and intimate ways. What begins as a strange act of compassion transforms into a bleak meditation on decay, obsession, and environmental collapse. Blending body horror with tragic romance, the film replaces shock-for-shock’s-sake with an atmosphere of sickness and inevitability that seeps into every frame.
