    Lupin the 3rd: the Castle of Cagliostro (1979)

    One might not think the antics of one pervert thief, his two right-hands of a swordsman and smoking gun, and a femme fatale would blend with what Western audiences understand of animator Hayao Miyazaki’s sensibilities. Wrong! This is the guy whose self-insert character was a pig who flew a WWII plane! Drawing from his time on Lupin’s television series, Miyazaki brings a softer side out to the turquoise-suited criminal – more damsel saver than boob-groper – while still keeping the mile-a-minute goofs so everyone’s happy. Oh, and don’t worry: Lupin and lawman Inspector Zenigata still have that “one-night-together-we-never-talk-about” vibe. – James Scott

    Playdate in the Park

    Another day, another morning spent figuring out how to minimize your child’s screentime. Allow the Austin Parks Foundation to give you a day off with this series of community events featuring storytime, crafts, movement-based fun. The kids will even go home with a book that will continue the non-internet based fun after the event’s 10-11:30am runtime. The whole shebang ends with a dance party that will likely tire the adults out more than the kids, but it’s worth a try. – James Renovitch

    Special Screenings

    Tangerine (2015)

    Tangerine wasn’t the first film shot exclusively on iPhone, but it’s definitely the most successful version of that particular brand of filmmaking. It’s also the film that rocketed Sean Baker into the spotlight. It spends the course of a day with transgender sex worker Sin-Dee, fresh out of jail and hot on the trail of her cheating pimp boyfriend. Baker excels at showing the margins of society, and with Tangerine, he does that by showing the real Hollywood: the seedy L.A. streets immediately recognizable to any Angeleno. Check out Baker’s roots before his Palme d’Or-winning Anora – opening in Austin Oct. 18 – dominates conversation for the next few months. – Cat McCarrey

    Zine Night: Spooky Theme

    For some of us, time is binary: either Halloween or not Halloween. What’s not to love? Scary movies, costumes, candy, parties, pumpkins, skeletons … raise your hand if you’re so excited it’s October. For zinemakers, the season offers a wealth of inspiration, which will be manifested at this fun workshop where you’ll learn to craft your own zine with the experts at the Austin Public Library. The workshop happens on the sixth floor, right above the library’s fifth-floor zine collection that your work can become a part of. A perfect way to prep for the upcoming Lone Star Zine Fest, if you ask me! – Kat McNevins
