Do We Really Need More Superhero Movies?

So here comes Infinity War, as reviewed here by Richard Whittaker, and, after more than a dozen big-screen spectacles, it’s the fuckin' apotheosis of the Marvel! Cinematic! Universe! Well, it’s this apotheosis, at least: You think the honchos at Marvel corporate are just gonna ditch their cash-cow mythos and call it a day after the current arc’s complete?

Moontower 2018 Reviews: A Comic a Day

I did not have a robust comedy education. I mean, I did my time rabidly quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail in middle school, and I watch all of the requisite Michael Schur network sitcoms, but I wasn’t raised by comedy LPs. Last week, though, Moontower Comedy Festival gave me an auspicious schooling in the state of stand-up.

Moontower 2018 Review: "Weird Al" Yankovic

Just before “Weird Al” Yankovic sang the titular track of 1985’s Dare to Be Stupid, the multi-Grammy winner remarked on the path that led to his current tour. “If you had told me back in the Eighties that in 30 years I’d be driving around in a bus with Emo Philips,” he said, “I would’ve responded, ‘Yeah, that sounds about right.”

Moontower 2018 Review: Mike Birbiglia's The New One

Mike Birbiglia isn’t the first comedian to question his fitness for fatherhood or the first dad to tuck a plaid button-down into khakis for a Thursday night at the theatre. But he might be the first of either to find the story of his daughter’s birth in a couch.

Fusebox Festival Review: Water and Tears

The image that lingers from Water and Tears is of two dancers, sliding over each other, their bodies curved inward concentrically with heads bent, like a still of dolphins frolicking in the water.

Fusebox Festival Review: Magdalena Jarkowiec’s In Here

I went into In Here already a fan of several things: the choreographic and soft-sculpture work of Magdalena Jarkowiec, the typically nuanced and droll performances of dancers Kelsey Oliver and Alexa Capareda, and the effects of putting things in boxes.

Moontower Comedy 2018: Ali Siddiq

Ali Siddiq went back to jail. On purpose. When the Houston comic, who's in town for the Moontower Comedy Festival, got his first hour-long special for Comedy Central, he didn't want to film it in a club or theatre. He wanted to go to a place where he knew laughs were hard to come by, where he first started making people laugh: jail.
