    “Tenfold”

    With a name pulled from owner Jill’s grandfather’s Chicago-set pen shop, this formerly East Austin art gallery sets up at a fresh spot situated on “the gateway to Clarksville and Old West Austin.” To christen their new venue properly, McLennon Pen Co. presents their first artist roster in Rosie Clements, Andy Coolquitt, Lindsey Lascaux, Peter McRury, Patrick Quinn, Slater Reid Sousley, Audrey Rodriguez, Ben Siekierski, Ashley Swarts, and Alexandra Valenti. Hailing from Austin, New York, Los Angeles, and Kansas City, all 10 artists are officially represented by the gallery – and have “begun to shape the identity of the gallery,” Jill says. “They are the thinkers and makers I’m most excited and equipped to support and see evolve in the next decade.” – James Scott

    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

    Deep Blue Sea (1999)

    Don’t believe the hype: Not every schlocky blockbuster is actually a misunderstood masterpiece. Join Eric Samaniego and Wright Sulek, hosts of the Trash in the Can podcast, as they screen Renny Harlin’s braindead sharksploitation anti-classic, a movie so wrongheaded that the filmmakers didn’t realize until test screenings that audiences thought the crusading marine biologist hero was the villain. Come for the cheese, but stick around for sharks swimming backwards, LL Cool J with a parrot, and Samuel L. Jackson’s epic motivational speaking. – Richard Whittaker

    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 Whittaker

    Interiors

    Known for 25 years as Kathy Dunn Hamrick Dance Company, KDH Dance Company rebrands with Interiors, its first show since Artistic Director Alyson Dolan and Executive Director/Resident Composer Drew Silverman took over the artistic arm of the organization. In light of the transition, this production examines, understandably, our insides – how our environments shape our beings, and how we, in turn, leave a mark on those around us. Dancers Anna Bauer, Cara Cook, Jairus Carr, Lisa del Rosario, Love Muwwakkil, and Carissa Topham Fisher move to music performed live by local musicians Henna Chou, Leila Henley, and Andy Nolte. – Carys Anderson

    M3GAN (2023)

    Every week there’s another negative story about AI, like the widely distributed bogus summer reading list that featured fake books invented by ChatGPT. Why are people even still messing with this stuff – haven’t they seen M3GAN? If this delightfully campy sci-fi horror served as a cautionary tale for when artificial intelligence finally becomes self-aware, we’d be logging out of all the AI stuff posthaste. But we just can’t help ourselves! Prep for the upcoming battles by studying closely what happens when a roboticist (Allison Williams) creates a companion doll for her niece (Violet McGraw) and things go haywire. Plus, you’ll be ready for M3GAN 2.0, out in late June. – Kat McNevins

With two complimentary margs for registered racers and five kilometers of trail ahead, it’s only a matter of time before things get wild. Runners, pin on your bib and line up. The finish-line party, where the nachos are hot, the margaritas are flowing, and the DJ is bumping, awaits. – Julianna Plewes

    Mount Eerie

    The adamantly DIY stylings of Phil Elverum became a cornerstone of the Northwest’s independent music scene in the early 2000s, first behind the Microphones and now primarily as Mount Eerie. The auteur continues to push multimedia artistic edges through his various projects under the house label P.W. Elverum & Sun – including the soundscapes of last year’s hauntingly atmospheric LP Night Palace, which unravels a tension of beauty and terror in his haltingly soft and intimate vocals. The equally enigmatic Dagmar Zuniga opens behind the mesmerizing new lo-fi album in filth your mystery is kingdom / far smile peasant in yellow music. – Doug Freeman

    Streets of Fire (1984)

    Willem Dafoe is perhaps the best role-picker in Hollywood, with countless iconic characters from Robert Pattinson’s deranged mentor in The Lighthouse, to Emma Stone’s kooky mad scientist dad in Poor Things. But back in his younger days the roles skewed a little sexier – albeit with his singular brand of toothy sleaze. None fit the brand more so perhaps than in this 1984 camped-out neo-noir rock opera, wherein he plays Raven, an evil biker gang leader who kidnaps rock star Ellen Aim (Diane Lane). Her former soldier beau Cody (Michael Paré) is hired to rescue her and an urban chase ensues. Dafoe’s widow’s peak goes hard in this glam rock West Side Story that’s worth a watch on the big screen.– Lina Fisher
