    Movements, Citizen, Scowl, Downward

    Fresh off the release of new single “Where I Lay,” Orange County quintet Movements leads a four-band bill of varying degrees of melodic post-hardcore and emo. Patrick Miranda fronts the headlining act with sweetly sung vocals atop Ira George and Crust Young’s shimmering guitars. Over a decade removed from landmark 2013 album Youth, beloved Michigan emos Citizen opt for a similarly earnest, and increasingly poppy, approach. Repping the subgenre’s next generation, thrashing Bay Area punks Scowl and fuzzy Tulsa quartet Downward round out the bill. – Carys Anderson

      But I’m a Cheerleader (2000)

      Natasha Lyonne is the gayest straight actor to ever exist, so obviously her star-making turn was as the gayest closeted cheerleader to ever exist. Lesbian films have become mighty ponderous and mostly period-piece-y in recent years, so harkening back to a time when gay panic was more camp is a real treat. RuPaul cameos as a conversion camp director where Cathy Moriarty tries and fails to stop Clea Duvall from fully seducing Lyonne in this Pepto-pink fairy tale. For the afters, Hyperreal offers a lesbian mingle/movie bingo for real heads hosted by Sapphic Singles, with chainmail prizes from Desired Objects. – Lina Fisher

      Interstellar (2014)

      Interstellar is one of my favorite movies because the world gets destroyed and no one listens to scientists, just like in real life! But never fear: Austin Minister of Culture Matthew McConaughey is here, bringing wide-eyed intensity to the role of a NASA pilot who must lead the way through wormholes to explore suitable Earth substitutes. Christopher Nolan’s dystopian sci-fi followed his Dark Knight era and sits sandwiched between mind-benders Inception and Tenet on his filmography, but this one may be the most accessible, even though time travel makes no sense. Those with little ones can catch a Baby Day show on Tuesday at Alamo Slaughter Lane. – Kat McNevins

      Parasite (2019)

      What’s the best Best Picture winner of the last six years? Any answer outside of Bong Joon-ho’s incisive South Korean class commentary is wrong. When audiences caught the 2019 award winner, they went wild for its cunning challenges to our ideas of societal divides – although many in our more monied strata experienced a little bit of “bullies watching Dumbo” by not catching on that they more resembled the pinched-nose rich people than the scrappy Kim family. (Please read The Idiot by Elif Batuman.) As much an argument for capitalism’s destruction as a feature for the criminally under-nominated ensemble cast, Parasite gave us possibly the best moment in Oscar history: Bong calling the televised event a “very local” awards show. – James Scott

      SXSW EDU

      If you’re looking to ease into the forward-thinking schmoozefest that is SXSW, the citywide conference’s little sibling focuses on innovation in the education space. (Yeah, I said “space.” I know the lingo.) Panel discussions, breakout sessions, films, keynotes, and more help you get inspired for another year of teaching. Until we can implant book learnin’ directly into the brain (is that a thing yet?), let’s find out the best ways to make sure future generations are no dummies. – James Renovitch

      The Lady Eve (1941)

      One of the screwball greats, The Lady Eve has all the hallmarks of the genre – on a cruise. Barbara Stanwyck plays what she plays best, a gorgeous con girl wooing a bumbling Henry Fonda as the clueless heir to an ale fortune. Stanwyck, her equally conny father, and her famous wiles shake up inexperienced nerd Fonda – but she might have to compete both with the other broads aboard the boat and the soft feelings she may have faked a little too well toward him as the scheme comes to a close… – Lina Fisher

      Titane (2021)

      French horror rules the roost lately, with Coralie Fargeat’s big-budget B picture The Substance not only earning its star Demi Moore a Best Actress nom but the film itself landing among the Best Picture hopefuls. Before the Academy deemed the franco freak feature award material, though, there was Julia Ducournau’s revv’d up riot. Previously a purveyor of the organic scare – see: vicious veterinary school shocker Raw – Ducournau took the wheel on this tale of vehicular lust. As much as the car sex scene clouds the first-time viewer’s mind, what truly turns this movie from automobile-erotic boondoggle to certified cinema-freak classic is its second-act turn to a stolen-identity family drama. – James Scott
