    Perfume Genius, urika's bedroom

    Seven albums and 15 years into the Perfume Genius project, songwriter Mike Hadreas shows no signs of slowing his pursuit of baroque perfection. Queerness burns at the core of his artistry – a transcendent and spiritually/sonically curious approach to pop music marks each new release. Acclaimed March LP Glory serves as no exception. From the tense, fingerpicked poetry of opener “It’s a Mirror,” Hadreas tackles loss, existential dread, and chronic illness with an impeccable balance of bravado and tenderness. Few contemporary artists wring catharsis from turmoil so masterfully. – Genevieve Wood

      An Evening With B. Dylan Hollis

      Pandemic quarantine boredom and supply shortages led to many of us experimenting more in the kitchen, and in one case it worked out extremely well! B. Dylan Hollis is the guy you’ve probably spotted on Instagram Reels gamely but dubiously taking a stab at absurd Depression-era recipes like Hoover Stew with hot dogs and canned goods or Ration Cake, starring lard, boiled raisins, and molasses. For Hollis’ follow-up to 2023 bestselling cookbook Baking Yesteryear, the social media chef took a cross-country tour of vintage recipes, resulting in the 100 collected in Baking Across America. Retro recipes from the 1900s to the 2000s cover something from every state in the union, and rumor has it that Texas sheet cake reps the Lone Star State. Get your book signed and take in an enlightening conversation with Hollis, Alex Rigby, and Mackenzie Smith. – Kat McNevins

      Brewery Spelling Bee

      Brewery staff can show off their S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G skills as St. Elmo hosts its annual bee open for all brewers, bartenders, and brewery staff. Food trucks will be serving and drinks will be flowing, since everyone spells better with a little buzz. (Right?) The public can stop in and watch this extravaganza – which may be one of the words they have to spell. Every once in a while we need a reminder that the English language is bonkers. Fuchsia? That makes no sense! – Blake Leschber

      Christopher Cascio: “Portals”

      Patterns. Repetition. The compulsory need for the same, over and over, until you’re led somewhere else. In second-time Ivester gallery artist Christopher Cascio’s newest solo exhibition, he explores both the pattern and the escape – a portal within every piece. His paintings combine aerosol and acrylic paint with more textural elements like masking tape, found fabric, and concert wristbands to form various repeating images anchored by centralized portals both obvious and obscure. And so, Cascio’s canvases “[invite] viewers to consider these moments as thresholds, interruptions in the pattern that offer space for reflection, transformation, or escape.” – James Scott

      Greer

      I’m unsure of which indie god to thank, because Greer has reemerged from an “indefinite hiatus,” or as they say in the industry, the alt-rock graveyard. With a sound that more closely resembles your favorite Nineties grunge band than its very own on 2021’s Happy People, Greer’s March LP Big Smile salvages 6-year-old songs unburdened by the expectation of timely choruses and sweet-sounding guitar melodies. Not only will seeing the group live at Antone’s motivate you to peek into those neglected notebooks, but perhaps you’ll also take the cue in breaking up with your preconceived, and certainly pretentious, notions of fixed scene or genre. – Levi Langley

      Midnight Run (1988)

      Knowing this Drafthouse guest select comes via Ben Affleck doesn’t surprise me a bit. As one part of a famous filmic duo – I see you, Afflection stans – this butting-heads buddy comedy totally fits as an Affleck pick. Robert De Niro is a down-on-his-luck skip tracer, which is possibly the coolest job title for a relatively scummy profession. After getting assigned by his boss (played by the great Joey Pants) to deliver former mob accountant “the Duke” (Charles freakin’ Grodin), what was supposed to be easy cash turns into a hijinks-filled chase from the East to West Coast. Fans of Martin Brest’s work in previous police comedy Beverly Hills Cop are advised to catch this train to the other side of the law. – James Scott

      Saving Face (2005)

      I’m a sucker for intergenerational stories, particularly if they’re about parents and kids dealing with romance. There’s a real fun chaos to the idea: parents having to commiserate with their kid over dating troubles, forcing a new equality of situation into a historically uneven power dynamic. In director Alice Wu’s debut feature, protag Wil (Michelle Krusiec, Duplex) must take in her pregnant mother (Joan Chen, Twin Peaks), whose unwed status has her on the outs with her father. While Wil’s in the closet with her mom, she becomes enamored with her boss’ daughter (Lynn Chen, a five-episode recurring doctor on Grey’s Anatomy), who butts heads with her own father over choosing modern dance over ballet. Social expectations get broken; love comes from unexpected places; and hearts do change, even if it takes a little while. – James Scott

      Seed of Chucky (2004)

      Fifth in the Child’s Play series yet the first to be helmed by its creator Don Mancini, this Aughts nightmare makes for fun viewing – if you’re a freak! That’s why Hyperreal’s screening it in their new series, Freaks Only, which focuses on works “by, for, and about freaks.” Fans of this doll-ightfully dark franchise will recall that fourth installment Bride of Chucky ends with a hideous baby birthed from titular bride Tiffany’s rubber downstairs parts. Seed picks up the thread posthaste, with Chuck and Tiff’s progeny escaping their circus cage to find Mom & Dad. But there’s no hope for the kid being normal when their DNA’s laced with New Jersey serial killer blood. Also features Jennifer Tilly playing Jennifer Tilly, which is how you know the gays finally took over this slasher series. – James Scott

      Sunset Boulevard (1950)

      One of the best-loved Billy Wilder productions, Sunset Boulevard is a timeless tale of the greed and desperation Hollywood wreaks on its young acolytes as they age. It also set off a long practice of – to varying degrees performative and genuine – self-criticism among its elites. Gloria Swanson is glorious and tragic as the washed-up silent star Norma Desmond, atrophying in her mansion with her former director/husband and now faithful butler Max (Erich von Stroheim). Her quasi-exploitative relationship with young writer Joe (William Holden) lays bare the extent of her delusions, as crackling dialogue carries the viewer through the muck with Wilder and longtime collaborator Charles Brackett’s signature lightness. At the Paramount, it’s only fitting to see Norma the way she sees herself: “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.” – Lina Fisher

      The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014)

      Feeling a bit dystopian in the current political climate? Check out the first half of the original Hunger Games series finale for all the inspiration you need for your counterrevolutionary activities. While Katniss Everdeen fights President Snow’s dictatorial regime in Panem, we, too, fight the establishment – one map labeled the Gulf of Mexico at a time. Whether a member of the revolution, a fan of dystopian science fiction, or complicated love triangles, this movie has it all. – Julianna Plewes
