  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

  Queer Craft Night

  In August 2022, hosts Ashley and Bernadette decided to bring together their two loves: crafting and hanging out with friends. Thus, Queer Craft Night was born! One venue change later and this DIY delight takes over queer-owned vino/espresso spot the Violet Crown every other Wednesday. Bring a project or start one on-site – according to QCN’s Insta, there’s been folks who’ve brought everything from embroidery to leather work, macrame to Lego-building. While the hosts always have a little extra supplies, you’re responsible for your own materials. Pro-tip: Violet Crown neighbors Little Deli, so arrive early and chow on a little brain food before startin’ in with the scissors. – James Scott

  Every other Tuesday, 6-9pm

  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

  The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014)

  Feeling a bit dystopian in the current political climate? Check out the first half of the original Hunger Games series finale for all the inspiration you need for your counterrevolutionary activities. While Katniss Everdeen fights President Snow’s dictatorial regime in Panem, we, too, fight the establishment – one map labeled the Gulf of Mexico at a time. Whether a member of the revolution, a fan of dystopian science fiction, or complicated love triangles, this movie has it all. – Julianna Plewes
