    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 Scott

    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 Scott

    Special Screenings

    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

    Everybody Scream! Ravencraft’s Vault of Horror

    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. Prepare to get scared onscreen and from the great beyond! – Richard Whittaker

    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 Scott

    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 Leschber
