    Adaptations Book Club: Orlando/Freak Orlando (1981)

    Why talk about one tale of gender fuckery when you could talk about two? We Luv’s literati settle in this hump day to chat Virginia Woolf’s original transition novel Orlando, where a young aristocrat travels through time and gender to fully discover themselves. Their screen companion comes from German filmmaker and proud lesbian Ulrike Ottinger, whose experimental five-episode film follows no linear structure but rather a series of vignettes all featuring that titular time-traveling bisexual. – James Scott

    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

    Past Lives (2023)

    Is there anything more romantic than feeling truly seen by someone? Two someones, in the case of East Village playwright Nora Moon (Greta Lee, exquisite). In another life, back when she was still Na Young and lived in Korea with her family, there was her childhood sweetheart Hae Sung (Teo Yoo). Now in her 30s, there is husband Arthur (John Magaro), another writer. Celine Song’s Oscar-nominated debut film skims 20 years in their lives, surveying different legs of the triangle. It’s fireworks-free – Past Lives is so measured, so hushed – but not without drama. It’s simply, perfectly human-scaled. – Kimberley Jones

    Special Screenings

    Rear Window (1954)

    Look, Vertigo and Rear Window are two queens who shouldn’t be pitted against each other, but if I’m forced to choose a movie to watch where Jimmy Stewart ignores the advances of a beautiful woman who wants nothing more than to wed his disagreeable ass – well, let’s just say I’m looking out the dang window! A classic of the voyeurism-gone-wild genre that Alfred Hitchcock practically created, this thriller sits Stewart in a wheelchair with only his long-lens camera, through which he witnesses a murder in the apartment across the street. Its tale of madness brewed in isolation might truly ring clearer today than it did in its initial run. – James Scott

    Rom-Com Night With Katherine Center, Jared & Gen Padalecki (1989)

    Ask a modern romance novel fan their top five current authors, and odds are good Katherine Center is somewhere in that list. Her latest tome, The Love Haters, has video producer Katie begrudgingly working on the profile of a ridiculously good-looking Coast Guard rescue swimmer. The twist? Her boss is the swimmer’s brother. Who better to moderate a panel about the book than one half of TV’s hottest brother duo, Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki? He’s joined by wife Gen in conversation with Center, before a screening of the ultimate friends-to-lovers film: When Harry Met Sally… – Cat McCarrey

    Tennis, Billie Marten

    From the infectious, sardonic grooves of Yours Conditionally highlight “Ladies Don’t Play Guitar” to the summery churn of “Runner” and the fast-slow devotion of “Need Your Love,” from pandemic-precipice LP Swimmer, Tennis have specialized in glistening, airy indie pop for 15 years. Earlier this year, Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore announced that their April LP Face Down in the Garden would be their last – which makes this Stubb’s stop your last chance to catch the husband-wife duo live. Corny Pitchfork callout post notwithstanding, the goodbye album caps the project with the same warmth they’ve harnessed for over a decade. – Carys Anderson

    Waitress

    Ever been to a musical and got a little peckish before intermission? Well, Waitress has a solution: Onstage seats in this ZACH360 production get served real slices of pie during the show. For everyone else, there’s still the heart-touching drama of this adaptation of the 2007 film of the same name, complete with the Tony- and Grammy-nominated score from Sara Bareilles. Leslie McDonel, who recently scored an Austin Theatre Critics Award nomination for breathing life into the story of Carole King in Zach’s 2024 production of Beautiful, steps into the role of Jenna, a waitress and baker in a town that may be too small for her big dreams. – Richard Whittaker
