Taylor Swift Muzingo
Get down to “this sick beat” at Taylor Swift Muzingo. Never heard of Muzingo? It’s basically bingo mixed with a dance party, where instead of marking off numbers, you mark off the songs that are played. “The time will come for us to finally win” because if you get five in a row, you can get a prize. The night will be sparkling; don’t you let it go. – Blake LeschberMon., June 9 -

Bottoms (2023)
Film critic and senior Chronicle staff writer Richard Whittaker once came into my under-the-stairs office, pointed at my Bottoms movie poster, and said “Oh, Bottoms. I wish you were funny.” Little did he know that such a huge wish had already been granted, as Emma Seligman’s sophomore directorial effort is filled with gut-busters in more ways than one. Specifically, two ways: One, in how your gut will bust from laughing at Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri as they create a high school fight club in order to score with hot girls; and two, in that this fight club actually busts a lotta guts through punching, kicking, and biting themselves and others. Wish Bottoms were funny? Wish granted, dude! – James ScottMon., June 9 -

Bride of Chucky (1998)
Remember last month when celebrities all wore “Protect the Dolls” shirts? Well, they certainly weren’t thinking about these dolls, aka the notorious serial killer Charles Lee Ray turned cutthroat cuddle-buddy Chucky and his titular blushing bride Tiffany. Yet there’s no less queerness within this campy classic, as plenty of emerging trans women have modeled their new look on Jennifer Tilly’s peroxide blonde ’do and black lipstick. Her transition from murderous moll to, well, murderous doll wasn’t exactly a choice, but no one can deny she slays the rubber look. Oh yeah: Also Katherine Heigl and Nick Stabile appear as obligatory straight bait – but this ain’t about them. Here in the Chucky-verse, it’s all about the dolls. – James ScottJune 7 & 9 -

Dogma (1999)
The advantage of a film being lost is that you never have to decide if it’s good or not. It’s basically been 25 years since new audiences got to form an opinion about Kevin Smith’s “missing” film, buried because of a bad deal with the Weinsteins. (As Smith said, “My movie about angels is owned by the devil himself.”) Newly liberated in 4K, his wild comedy of angels, devils, Catholic angst and commercialized faith, and Alanis Morissette as God finally gets screen time. – Richard WhittakerJune 5 - 11 -

Prepare to get your Ph.D. in horror from Professor Saul Ravencraft, as the master of the occult and expert in all matters esoteric and uncanny takes you, reel by reel, through a mystery horror movie. In between reels he’ll regale you with anecdotes, information, and maybe even pull back the veil between worlds just a little bit.

Mo Willems Party
Author and animator Mo Willems gets his flowers – or should we say feathers – at this Austin Public Library summer party. Kids from 6 to 10 are invited to celebrate the many picture books penned by Willems, including the Caldecott Honor winning Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! – which also hit the Zach stage last year as an interactive play. Attendees can do crafts, play games like Pin the Nose on Piggie, and even get a pigeon-perfect picture in a photo booth. – James ScottMon., June 9 -

Bat City Bingo
I love the Bat City Bingo ladies. They’re always up to give you a prize from their incredible collection whether your victory is real or simply deserved. My friend once got a book that was just artistic depictions of Satan! Anyway, those who missed their presence on North Loop after they departed from Tuesday at Dub Trub can now rest easy. BCB sets up in the cozy cocktail quarters of Tigress, where you can enjoy delicious drinks and dot your bingo sheet indoors. Good way to beat the Monday blues, baby. – James ScottMondays -

Parish Presents: Butt Stuff Bingo
No one is saying that traditional bingo is boring, but if you enjoy the bluer forms of (verbal) intercourse – and many do – Butt Stuff Bingo could be just right for you. BSB is an interactive game-show themed contest, but instead of grandma rules, with only one winner per contest, Butt Stuff gives multiple contestants the chance to win “novelty” prizes – dildos? – from “specialty” stores. Each night features an “adult re-imagined parody” of classic works like I Love Lucy, Dirty Dancing, or The Smurfs. – Brant BingamonEvery other Monday -

The Wayward Vampire
Adventurers in parties big and small (six people being the comfortable limit) are invited to join in this newest quest at LARP legend the Tiny Minotaur. At $45 per person, the quest runs about 90 minutes with complimentary snacks and a bevvie included for all the 21-and-above aged participants. From the Minotaur themselves: “It appears the Holy Circlet has sent an ill-experienced Cleric to the Rift to investigate and they are seeking the help of some Adventurers at the Tiny Minotaur! Will you and your party be able to help your new Cleric companion return to the Holy Circlet as a Hero or will you all perish on a mission ill-fated from the start?!” – James ScottMondays, Sundays and Mon., Nov. 25 -

Words and Wonder: Rediscovering Children’s Literature
One of the pleasures of having a first-rate research center and archive in town is how the Harry Ransom Center will regularly comb through its own vast holdings and hand-pick gems to present in a new context. Hence the HRC’s latest exhibit, “Words and Wonder: Rediscovering Children’s Literature,” which pulls from its manuscript, art, photography, film, and performing arts holdings to spotlight early 20th-century authors and illustrators catering to a young readership. The exhibit includes magic lantern slides from Aesop’s Fables, John Tenniel’s illustrations of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Ernest H. Shepard’s indelible images from the Hundred Acre Wood, among other treats. Runs through August 17. – Kimberley JonesThrough August 17
