» Nazi demonstrators wave DeSantis sign and swastikas outside Disney World in Orlando

Not for the first time (we regret to say), a small group of neo-Nazis demonstrated outside Walt Disney World on June 10, waving swastika flags as well as a pro-DeSantis flag. As reported by the New York Post, the group responsible for the act has been identified by experts as the hate group “Order of the Black Sun,” a small white supremacist network in Florida. Video footage of the group was first shared on social media (as far as we know) by state Rep. Anna Eskamani of Orlando, with the caption, “Nazis outside of Disney World right now — absolutely disgusting.” The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said the group was out there for a couple of hours, and no arrests were made. The OSCO said in a statement that their agency “deplores hate speech in any form, but people have the First Amendment right to demonstrate.” Anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. have reportedly reached an alltime high, according to the Anti-Defamation League, which identified 3,697 anti-Semitic incidents last year. Florida had the fourth-highest number of incidents, racking up 269.

» DeSantis axes $510 million from the state budget, including local projects

Another year, another state budget subject to approval by Florida’s governor. This year, facing a record high 2023-24 state spending plan, DeSantis approved $116.5 billion and vetoed $510.9 million from the state budget, including funds requested by lawmakers for a number of local projects. Some of those vetoed funding requests include $25,000 for the Adult Literacy League; $500,000 for a Mount Dora Community Resource and Recreation Center; $500,000 for the city of DeLand’s Bridge Homeless Shelter; $1 million for Purpose Built Florida: Lift Orlando; and $360,000 for the Florida Senior Veterans in Crisis Fund. Nearly one-fifth of the total dollars cut came from chopping down a single program, championed by Republican Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, designed to keep swaths of rural property from commercial and residential development. DeSantis earned some serious side-eye for sharing his veto list hours after he signed the budget at a yacht club, which is unprecedented — usually they’re shared at the time of approval. The budget goes into effect July 1. Among a few bright spots of good news, like some spending on improving water quality and mitigating the effects of flooding cause by climate change, the final budget also earmarks $25 million for crisis pregnancy centers (religiously affiliated anti-abortion centers) and $711 million for the Live Local Act, a major housing bill meant to spur affordable housing development (while also banning rent control). Check out what made it into the budget this year for yourself at boldvisionforabrighterfuture.com.

» DeSantis vows, if elected president, to restore Confederate general’s name to army base

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has vowed to restore the name of a Confederate general to a U.S. Army base in North Carolina. At a GOP convention in Greensboro, DeSantis told his crowd that if he were elected president, he would change the newly renamed Fort Liberty base back to Fort Bragg, after Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg. The base is just one of the nine Army installations named for Confederate generals that are now going through renaming processes as part of a 2020 bipartisan defense appropriations bill. DeSantis said Bragg was an “iconic name” and “we’re not going to let political correctness run amok in North Carolina.” Former Vice President Mike Pence also showed support for bringing back the base’s old name at the convention. Braxton Bragg is largely considered one of the least competent Confederate generals, as deeply explored in the 2016 book by Earl Hess Braxton Bragg: The Most Hated Man in the Confederacy. Bragg is known for leading several costly and unsuccessful attempts at invasion. He resigned from the army in 1856 to become a sugar plantation owner in Louisiana. Fort Bragg was named after the general in 1918, during the Jim Crow Era. It was just one of many Army bases in the South named for Confederate officers during the time.

» Orange County leaders ask community to attend Vision 2050 town halls, provide input

Do you have thoughts to share about the future of Orange County and its growth? Local leaders are asking Orange County residents to make their voices heard by attending

upcoming town hall events focused on Vision 2050, a comprehensive land use plan to guide the county’s development over the next few decades. What does that entail? Essentially, it’s a growth guide focused on things like housing, transportation, public infrastructure, sustainability and more. The county’s population has surged over the past decade, and leaders expect a boost of 700,000 more residents by 2050. But there’s been little public input, and local elected leaders would like that to change. County commissioners are holding a series of in-person town halls across the county through the month of June and into July to discuss county priorities, with other community stakeholders and subject matter experts present. You can find the latest draft of the Vision 2050 plan and a list of upcoming town hall dates and locations at ocfl.net/vision2050.

» Orlando cop facing charges after being pulled over for speeding, refusing to show license

An Orlando police officer is facing charges after he was pulled over for driving nearly 40 miles above the speed limit near Oviedo. The officer, Alexander Shaouni, was stopped by a Seminole County sheriff’s deputy June 6. According to the deputy’s report, Shaouni was going 80 mph in a 45 mph zone down Florida Avenue in an agency-issued patrol cruiser — without his siren or emergency lights on. Shaouni was also caught on bodycam footage arguing with the deputy who pulled him over. “What? I am going into work, my man, why are you trying to pull me over as I’m going into work?” Shaouni is seen asking. “Because you’re going 80 in a 45,” the deputy replied. Shaouni also refused to show the deputy his license. The Orlando cop drove away and was followed by the deputy. He activated his emergency lights and had to drive at speeds over 90 mph to reach Shaouni, who initially refused to pull over, according to reports. Shaouni has since been “relieved of duty” and is facing charges of resisting an officer, reckless driving and fleeing a law enforcement officer with active sirens.

LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN RATIO

Registered nurses in Sanford rally for safe staffing levels, joining a national day of labor action

Agroup of registered nurses at HCA Lake Monroe Hospital in Sanford joined a national day of action last Tuesday, uplifting a need for safe staffing levels in their hospitals.

“We care,” said Lorraine Sikes, an emergency room nurse, who rallied with fellow off-duty nurses outside of the Central Florida hospital Tuesday morning.

That’s the biggest thing she wants the public to understand. “We really want that patient to get what they need. We really want to make sure that every single need is met.”

Owned by the Hospital Corporation of America, the nation’s largest for-profit hospital system, Sikes’ hospital was one of over a dozen sites nationwide where members of the National Nurses United labor union rallied on Tuesday, and one of just three in Florida.

The call to action? For the hospital industry to take safe staffing levels seriously, and for Congress to pass federal legislation, modeled after a California law, to establish nurseto-patient ratio standards.

“We are saying, ‘Enough is enough’ to our employers who push us to our breaking point with chronic short-staffing and insufficient resources to provide the highest quality of care to our patients,” said Deborah Burger, one of the union’s presidents.

“We know there are enough nurses to meet the demand, there is just a lack of will on the part of the hospital industry to staff appropriately because they prioritize profits over patient care.”

Thousands of nurses nationwide were expected to join the day of action, coast to coast, outside hospitals in California, Texas, New York and Florida.

While individual issues at hospitals can differ, a commonality nurses say they’re facing is a crisis in unsafe staffing: nurse-to-patient ratios that leave staff inadequately equipped to care for patients in the way that they deserve.

Sikes told Orlando Weekly she’s troubled by a decline in patient care she’s seen at her hospital, tied to an understaffing problem that’s manufactured by the industry.

“If you’re in pain, you don’t want to have to wait five, let alone 30 minutes for a nurse to get down there because she’s

trying to medicate other patients,” she said. Or, in her case, because she’s trying to save someone’s life in the ER.

She, and her union, believe the “nursing shortage” industry leaders profess is a myth — if anything, failing to give nurses the resources and support they need is driving people out of the profession.

“We really want to make sure that the care we’re giving them is the appropriate care, and it’s done in the appropriate amount of time,” said Sikes.

Understaffing hospitals is a systemic, decades-old problem, according to the union. It’s not exclusive to Florida, let alone Central Florida. But HCA Healthcare, a hospital system with 184 hospitals nationwide and 46 just in Florida, is one of the more well-known offenders.

A recent report published by the Service Employees International Union — a labor union that represents other hospital staff at HCA Lake Monroe — found that staffing ratios at HCA hospitals were 30% lower than national averages.

An NBC News report spotlighting conditions within a Florida HCA hospital in Hudson recently triggered an inquiry from Republican Congressmen Marco Rubio and Gus Bilirakis.

The Tennessee-based company, headed by millionaire CEO Sam Hazen, has disputed claims of understaffing at their hospitals.

Here in Florida, registered nurses also rallied outside of HCA Florida’s Fawcett Hospital in Port Charlotte — a facility that was hit incredibly hard during Hurricane Ian last year — and HCA Florida Largo Hospital near Tampa.

And the ramifications of understaffing go beyond the work performed by RNs. Workers represented by the SEIU at HCA Florida’s hospital in Kissimmee — including pharmacists, dietary aides and certified nursing assistants — also recently rallied with similar concerns.

After that May rally, HCA Florida Healthcare Public Relations Director Trip Farmer said of SEIU, “This union has a history of attacking and bullying community hospitals with misleading information and staged events designed to garner media coverage.”

Part of the problem, workers say, is corporate greed. HCA Healthcare raked in $5.6 billion in profits in 2022, and reported $15.6 billion in revenues for the first quarter of this year alone.

Hazen, the company’s CEO, had a total compensation of $14.6 million in 2022, leading the pack of the industry’s toppaid CEOs.

“Our hospital alone cleared almost $29 million last year in profits,” Sikes said. “So why can’t they share that with the rest of the hospital?”

In Orlando Weekly’s earlier stories about labor issues at HCA, when asked for comment, management has responded by saying strikes and rallies are “part of this labor union’s normal actions during collective bargaining, which happens every three years at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital.”

Sikes is hoping the hospital will begin to take nurse retention more seriously. Nurses come in, attracted by sign-on bonuses, but working within their current conditions, turnover is high.

The seasoned nurse, who used to work at an Advent Health facility, says high turnover disrupts the hospital’s ability to provide a continuity of care for patients, and there’s widespread concern about the ramifications of working in a healthcare setting that’s understaffed.

Mistakes on the job. Leaving a patient alone for too long because you’re tasked with attending to too many others at once, risking injury or missed warning signs of trouble.

“Some nurses say they fear for their license,” said Sikes. “I fear for a patient’s life.”

The state of California is currently the only state in the nation with minimum safe staffing standards for nurses. National Nurses United fought for the passage of a landmark bill to establish those standards in 1999, which were implemented in 2004.

Lawmakers in Maine are also considering a similar staffing ratios law, according to the union, while a bill in Minnesota was recently rendered toothless.

There’s also the federal route. During the pandemic, healthcare workers were lauded as heroes.

They also suffered burnout, severe staffing shortages and scrambled at times to get necessary personal protective equipment, and the workforce is still reeling from that experience.

That’s why they’re fighting for improvements not just at HCA, or within their individual hospitals, but industry-wide, according to the union, which represents nearly 225,000 members nationwide.

“They’re not going to listen to us unless we’re in numbers,” said Sikes.

‘WE’RE NOT DUMMIES’

Arecent political mailer in Florida tied to an out-of-state think tank is spreading what union leaders describe as disinformation surrounding a new union law approved by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last month.

The mailer, produced by the Freedom Foundation — a conservative, billionairebacked nonprofit — began making the rounds on Twitter this weekend, showing a bulleted list of items regarding the new law.

“What does SB 256 really mean for you?” one section reads.

A bigger paycheck, for one thing, it claims. For another, the decision to join or not join a union (as if workers didn’t have that choice already).

“Don’t be tricked into giving the union your bank account or credit card number,” the mailer reads on one side, with, “Don’t let the union mislead you” printed on the other.

A lobbyist for the Freedom Foundation, Russell “Rusty” Brown, confirmed to Orlando Weekly that the target of this mailer campaign — dubbed “Union Oversight” — is all of Florida’s public employees, at least a third of whom stand to be affected by the new law. It’s meant to offer transparency, Brown said. To inform.

But the president of Florida’s statewide teachers union, representing over 150,000 school staff, blasted the campaign.

“I think the flyer is full of misinformation,” Florida Education Association president Andrew Spar told Orlando Weekly. It’s an insult to teachers, professors and other employees in Florida, he said. “And it’s not going to work.”

Recycling common anti-union talking points, the oversized green and orange flyer warns recipients against allowing themselves to be misled by labor unions, which, in Florida, have gone into overdrive in recent months to recruit new members ahead of SB 256’s implementation.

The new law, years in the making, has been criticized as a measure designed to weaken Florida’s public sector unions and which could, consequently, hurt working families.

During public testimony, one self-described Republican worker likened the proposal to his ex-wife (not in a good way — the misogynistic tone is noted).

Others called it an “anti-freedom” bill, a “union-busting” bill, and expressed concern that their union — and, by extension, the benefits it afforded them — could be in jeopardy if it passed.

Among other things, the law bans payroll deductions of union dues effective July 1 (for

those who are already voluntarily signed up for union membership).

It also requires unions to maintain a membership rate of at least 60% of workers eligible, and requires audited financial statements that are made available to union members.

Unions representing police, firefighters, correctional and probation officers (unions which generally support Republican candidates for office) are excluded from most of the bill’s provisions.

Although a less than ideal motivator, it’s

“There’s no doubt that this legislation is harming our ability to collect dues, it’s harming our ability to represent the interests of our members. It’s undermining our constitutional right to collectively bargain our working conditions,” said Andrew Gothard, president of the state’s full-time faculty union, the United Faculty of Florida.

“We are looking forward to our day in court,” he told Orlando Weekly Education unions have also long been a target of the Freedom Foundation, which is backed by the likes of the pro-privatization Charles Koch (and his brother David, before his 2019 death) and the DeVos family, including former U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

Based in the state of Washington, the organization claims to “advance individual liberty, free enterprise, and limited, accountable government.”

They’re one of several conservative think tanks that lobbied in favor of Florida’s new law, as they’ve done for similar proposals in other states.

On their website, the organization enthusiastically describes Florida’s new law as “the most aggressive state labor reform in decades.”

Brown, the Freedom Foundation lobbyist, told Orlando Weekly his organization is “pro-worker,” and said he prefers that term to “anti-union.”

“Everything that we advocate for, it’s for employees’ rights,” Brown said.

Well, the right to opt out of union membership, that is (which workers in Florida can, and have been able to do even prior to this new law’s implementation).

Their group’s Twitter profile, which says they’re “fighting public sector unions,” leaves little doubt as to which side they’re on.

Spar had his own choice words to describe the nature of the organization’s work.

“This is an organization that’s made it clear they’re trying to hide who they are,” he said. “They are not transparent. This is an organization that is funded by dark money.”

Gothard added that it’s telling that the only organization “sending out this nonsense” isn’t even based in Florida.

A deliberate effort to misinform

is completely voluntary and intentional), you’ll still be paying those dues in some way, even if it’s not coming directly from your paycheck.

The Freedom Foundation has a years-old tradition of sending anti-union mailers to public employees in various states, characterizing unions as greedy businesses.

In an annual Halloween mailer they send out to public sector workers, the organization describes unions as “money-sucking vampires.”

The Freedom Foundation itself reported nearly $10 million in total revenues in 2021, and $8.3 million in expenses, according to a tax form obtained by ProPublica.

Freedom Foundation CEO Aaron Withe reported a total compensation package of $417,638 in 2021, and the group itself “sucked” $10.1 million in contributions and grants from donors last year.

They’ve received over $33 million in contributions since 2017.

But the group likes to point fingers at labor unions’ coffers. In their latest mailer, they warn recipients not to be “tricked” into giving their credit card or bank account information to a union. This is likely a reference to a new dues payment system (“eDues”) that unions across the state have rolled out in order to comply with the law’s ban on automatic payroll deductions.

Unions statewide have been urging their members to sign up for the alternative electronic dues collection system ASAP to avoid being kicked off the membership rolls.

Utilizing anti-union language that might be familiar to Orlando Weekly readers, the mailer also paints unions as a “middle man,” a third party.

It demonstrates a misunderstanding about what unions are: workers coming together, as a collective, to advocate for a voice on the job and the conditions under which they labor.

“Unions are run by the members,” said Spar, the teachers union president. Referring to the union as a “middle man” is blatantly untrue, he added. “The members are the union.”

spurred a powerful momentum to organize.

Spar told Orlando Weekly that the Florida Education Association’s local affiliates, for instance, have recruited 8,000 new members in the last month.

Amid an ongoing, “massive” teacher shortage, as well as an exodus of teachers from the profession, he said this means in practice, they’re 5,000 union members up from the previous school year.

Education unions, a longstanding political punching bag for DeSantis, were considered the primary target of SB 256. They sued the state shortly after the measure was signed into law.

The Freedom Foundation mailer, first sent out to households last week, with another round expected to hit mailboxes within the next week, offers several examples of misleading information about the new law — aka “disinformation” (that is, a willful attempt to mislead), according to the FEA.

One bullet point, explaining the new law, reads, “If you are paying dues, you are going to see your check go up!”

When questioned about this line, Brown said this was a reference to the law’s ban on automatic payroll deductions of union dues.

Meaning, sure, your paycheck will be a smidgen fatter if your dues aren’t being taken out of it.

But if you’re a union member who wants to remain a union member (something that

A teachers union in Minnesota also recently warned their members about a Freedom Foundation mailer distributed there, where state leaders recently passed major pro-union legislation.

Brown confirmed his organization is targeting public employees in several states that have similarly advanced measures affecting organized labor and labor relations.

Florida’s measure this year, however, was the biggest deal — a major reform package. And that hasn’t been lost on the state’s union leaders, who’ve been fighting similar proposals in the state legislature for years.

“Folks in Florida, particularly in Florida higher ed, we’re not dummies,” said Gothard. “We know when individuals and groups are trying to manipulate us and mislead us, and try to harm us for their own political gain.”

“We’re not having any of it,” he added.

STRANGER CHANGER

Foreigner Restaurant in Audubon Park welcomes all to indulge in high-end plates of comfort

Bruno Fonseca hustled his way through the high-end kitchens of Norman’s and Bern’s Steak House, operated the 5 Gastronomy food truck and even taught culinary students the basics at Le Cordon Bleu. But it wasn’t until the Brazilian-born chef opened Millenia 106 that he truly found his cooking voice — local, seasonal fare peppered with Portuguese, Spanish and Brazilian flavors that resonated with the restaurant’s captivated audience. When he staged a series of pop-ups under the “Foreigner Experience” banner, that voice found expression through a trust-the-chef confiance menu that had Fonseca play up his creative and plating skills while doubling down on seasonality and provenance. Now at the Foreigner, the 25-year restaurant vet is letting that voice sing, and those accented notes carry through one of the more handsome restaurant spaces in the city.

Whistles are wetted with a welcome mocktail and guests are led to a 10-seat bar, where Fonseca personally welcomes everyone before going over the restaurant’s ethos. Local purveyors from Sugar Top Farms to C-M Bakari to Kelly’s Seafood are given their due. All the while, Fonseca’s merry band of foreigners — Téo Lemaire, a sous chef from Cannes; Rami Ayoub, the Syrian somm; and Tracy Tran, a server with Vietnamese roots; not to mention chef Jeremy Gross from faraway Philly — diligently do their thing.

In my three visits, in March, April and June, Fonseca has altered his 10-course menu ($175) each time. “We change it every month. Two dishes are static, three are more of a sea-

sonal change, and five are monthly changes,” he says. Fonseca always starts with a poached Pacific Northwest oyster buried beneath a warm potato-turnip mousse, lemon, brown butter crumble and Ossetra caviar. It makes for a solid start, this lovin’ spoonful, and never fails to draw nods around the bar. The tomato salad, a personal favorite enjoyed on my last two visits, has Sugar Top’s finest slicked with Banyuls and Champagne vinegars placed atop a chervil-dusted labneh/goat cheese mousse. On top rests a chilled quenelle of Aleppo pepper and olive oil sorbet, draped with sea beans for a pleasant crunch.

Wines are poured for those who opt for the optional ($80) or reserve pairing ($150), and plates and utensils are cleared quietly and efficiently while meticulous preparations are made for the ensuing courses. Yet the Foreigner never feels full of itself. At no point during any of my meals here did I get the sense that Fonseca et al. are out to chase Michelin stars or James Beard Awards. While they’re serious about what they do, they don’t take themselves very seri ously, which makes the Foreigner very approachable. So if you consider yourself a restaurant star chaser, you might want to check such pretensions at the door. That’s because Fonseca’s dishes feel like comfort food — elevated, beautifully plated and impeccably dressed comfort food, yes, but comfort food nonetheless.

Sample his charcoal banana tartlet with foie, coconut Chantilly and port wine caramel and it’ll be abundantly clear. Or Australian wagyu strip tartare “au poivre” with green peppercorns, oyster aioli (for depth) and shaved bottarga (for umami). It’s served with celery root puffs and it goes down ohso-easily. So does aged, hay-smoked duck, pressed and plated with an orange puree, beets and a white asparagus vanilla salad sprinkled with hazelnuts.

Aesthetics don’t take a back seat here — not in the attractive rabbit ballotine, and not in the charcuterie plate comprising intriguing cuts like golden tile mortadella and swordfish black cumin bacon sitting alongside jamon Iberico de bellota. But just because they’re pretty doesn’t mean some dishes don’t falter — undercooked ravioli in the spring pasta; rubbery octopus in the lobster-and-duck-based bouillabaisse; and grit in the razor clams. Some of my companions weren’t as fond of the seafood cuts of charcuterie as others, though all agreed C-M Bakari’s “triple black” sourdough bread containing activated charcoal, black cocoa and black pepper (served with an equally dark butter fashioned from black garlic, black truffles and porcini) was a pleaser. Probably why it’s another menu constant.

Dessert is served, consciously, at a communal table and, for those who footed an extra $20, coffee, macarons, bonbons and petit fours too. The get-together is an opportunity to engage with other diners, which can go a number of ways. On my first visit, I wanted to grab a guest’s iPad-sized camera light, which had blinded me throughout dinner, and give it the proper Sean Penn treatment. But I resisted the urge. This was the Foreigner, after all — a welcoming space; a space rooted in inclusivity; a space where worlds and, yes, even cultures collide. So full credit to Fonseca for making xenophiliacs out of all of us. He may be a foreigner, but he’s no stranger to offering everyone a place at the table.

RUSHMORE MEETS ROSWELL

In Asteroid City , Wes Anderson stages an alien invasion as only Wes Anderson can

Insistently eccentric, involuted and reflexive, Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City will likely only reinforce his detractors’ animus toward the filmmaker’s elaborate but undeniably insular world-building, but admirers — and I’m among them — will delight in the dizzying variations he works on signature themes and tropes. Although Asteroid City sometimes comes perilously close to the Rube Goldbergian joke constructions of Steven Spielberg’s 1941 — with setups so baroquely complex that the payoff laughs are more theoretical than actual — it never tips over into self-indulgence. Like Anderson’s best work, the film adroitly balances comedy and melancholy, absurdity and profundity, and what might initially appear a feather-light, pastel-hued dessert confection instead proves an intellectually and emotionally rich multi-course meal. In most of his previous films, Anderson used a variety of devices — narrators, chapter breaks, curtains, faux books — to foreground the constructed nature of his stories. That conceit seemed to reach its apotheosis in The Grand Budapest Hotel, with its Russian-nesting-dolls structure and mutating aspect ratios, but Asteroid City actually one-ups

ASTEROID CITY

Opens in Orlando

Thursday, June 22

(PG-13)

that predecessor in the deployment of Brechtian distancing effects. Beginning as a mid-1950s TV show — in period-appropriate black-and-white and 4:3 Academy ratio — the film purports to offer a behind-the-scenes peek at the development of a Broadway play, also named Asteroid City, by writer Conrad Earp (Edward Norton). The film then transitions to a staging of Asteroid City — in widescreen and color — and subsequently toggles between the theatrical production and the television show. The program’s host (Bryan Cranston) periodically offers explication and provides both re-creations and documentary footage — which, significantly, are never clearly distinguished — of key moments in the play’s evolution.

H H H H H

The play is set in the titular Asteroid City, a tiny burg in the Southwest that owes its modest existence to the ancient crater formed by the impact of the Arid Plains meteorite. The town, whose tight cluster of buildings includes an observatory presided over by Dr. Hickenlooper (Tilda Swinton), hosts the annual Junior Stargazer Convention and Asteroid Day to celebrate the scientific achievements of several gifted teens. Among those arriving for the 1955

festivities are recently widowed war photographer Augie Steenbeck (Jason Schwartzman) and his children, “brainiac” son Woodrow (Jake Ryan) and three young but extremely willful daughters. Also filling up the lone motel’s cabins are movie star Midge Campbell (Scarlett Johansson) and her precocious daughter, Dinah (Grace Edwards), who will both become romantically entangled with the Steenbeck père et fils; three other prodigies and their parents (Liev Schrieber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park); Montana (Rupert Friend) and his stranded cowboy band; a teacher (Maya Hawke) and a busload of her 8-year-old students; and, belatedly, Augie’s crusty father-inlaw (Tom Hanks).

The gathering of this diverse tribe, already enlivened by Midge’s glamorous presence, becomes even more eventful when a spacecraft suddenly appears during a group viewing of “astronomical ellipses” (yes, that would be three illuminated dots in the heavens, with Anderson shamelessly putting the “pun” in punctuation). As the stunned crowd gapes, a lanky stop-motion alien descends from the ship, plucks the meteorite from its resting place and unexpectedly spirits it into the sky. General Griff Gibson (Jeffrey Wright), conveniently on hand for the scientific proceedings, immediately places the town under quarantine and imposes an information blackout. But the military can’t thwart the teens’ collective ingenuity, and when they manage to leak word of the alien visitation to the world, Asteroid City soon becomes overrun with throngs of curiosity seekers.

If this summary seems unduly windy, be assured that it barely hints at the story’s many convolutions (or, for that matter, the jaw-dropping enormity of the film’s starry cast, which also includes Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Adrien Brody, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau and Jeff Goldblum). But plot, despite its superabundance here, isn’t really Anderson’s focus: Asteroid City is far more a witty meditation on theater and acting than a comic riff on Cold War paranoia, government secrecy and coercion, or the military-industrial complex’s cooptation of scientific discovery (though it deals in all of those, too). Anderson’s interest in the stage has figured tangentially in much of his work — see Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom — but Asteroid City positions mid-20th-century American theater front and center (as in one of his symmetrical compositions). Anderson certainly pokes some gentle fun at that era’s innovative figures, whether writers, directors or Method acting teachers, but the jokes in no way diminish his obvious affection and admiration.

The film is especially insightful on the acting process and its probing search for signs and meaning (an impulse it shares with the play’s scientists). In the first meeting between Earp and his play’s eventual lead, for example, actor Jones Hall (Schwartzman again) expresses confusion over what motivates Augie to impulsively burn his hand on a hot griddle. Because we haven’t yet seen that action, the question doesn’t fully register, but after the scene appears in the play, Asteroid City returns to explore it in the TV show when a distressed Hall leaves the stage in the middle of a performance to confront his director about whether he’s properly capturing the character: He’s still striving to grasp the significance of that self-mutilating gesture.

As impressive as Schwartzman is in his dual roles, Johansson merits particular praise in this regard: Not only is she also creating two distinct characters, but because she’s essaying the role of a movie star in the play, there’s yet another layer of artifice that requires peeling, and the remarkable scene in which she rehearses a bathtub suicide for a future film is a head-spinning astonishment.

In fact, “head-spinning astonishment” can just as appropriately serve as a description of Asteroid City — a film of ceaseless invention, visual splendor and wry, often rueful amusement. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

ON

NOTE: All premiere dates remain subject to change as the writers’ strike continues. Also, there will be no peace as long as that dog Don Carlos goes unpunished for the murder of my family.

PREMIERES WEDNESDAY:

Break Point — Part 2 of the tennis docuseries follows some of the titans of the sport to the most important events on their circuit. Destinations include Wimbledon, Eastbourne International, and finally, the private court of some tech billionaire who decided letting his wife harass her coach was a harmless alternative to alimony. (Netflix)

Secret Invasion — The 2008 comics event becomes a streaming series that pits Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury against a worldwide infiltration of Skrulls. In the comic, that agenda extended to surreptitiously replacing some of the biggest heroes in the Marvel pantheon, but in the MCU, a lot of those characters are either dead or too pricey for TV. So get set for stealth doppelgängers of some folks you wouldn’t be surprised to find out are aliens anyway, like politicians and Evangeline Lilly. (Disney+)

PREMIERES THURSDAY:

And Just Like That … — The return of John Corbett’s Aidan was going to be the big story of Season 2, until word leaked that Kim Cattrall had shot a cameo as Samantha. But how will fans react when they find out this Samantha is an alternate-universe version who builds houses for Habitat for Humanity and hosts a celibacy podcast? (Max)

The Bear — Carmy undertakes an extreme makeover in Season 2, turning his late brother’s sandwich shop into a restaurant of his own. The 300 grand he found in those tomato-sauce cans should cover at least half the cost of paying off the inspectors. (Hulu)

Downey’s Dream Cars — Robert Downey Jr. puts his money where his muffler is, conscripting a team of experts to convert his fleet of classic ’60s and ’70s cars to eco-friendly operation. That guy never stops thinking big, does he? This has got to be the best thing he’s done for the world since Ultron. (Max)

Glamorous — At the very same time she’s making a surprise visit to the Carrieverse over on Max (see above), Kim Cattrall is launching her own Netflix series about a cosmetics magnate who hires a young, queer makeup artist (Miss Benny). Not sure I’d be stepping on my own P.R. like that, but given that Netflix is the biggest holdout in the writers’ strike, maybe she means it as some kind of sneaky show of solidarity with the WGA. Watch the credits closely and see if she shares her password. (Netflix)

Skull Island — The MonsterVerse gets its first series spinoff, encompassing the animated adventures of explorers who get stranded on the home island of Kong and his coterie. There’s also a live-action series coming to Apple TV+. And if Mothra learns to flip houses, he could get on Max. (Netflix)

That Peter Crouch Film — This official documentary chronicles the early days of the

English football legend, who set the Premier League record for headed goals despite the potentially crippling handicap of being the tallest player in its history. And you thought Temple Grandin had to overcome adversity? Now you know better! (Prime Video)

PREMIERES FRIDAY:

Catching Killers — At press time, it hadn’t been announced which cold-blooded murderers are going to be profiled in Season 3. So if you’re looking to get famous, you could still squeeze in under the wire. (Netflix)

I’m a Virgo — Boots Riley, the auteur behind Sorry to Bother You, finds more surreal terrain to mine in a series that follows the travails of a 13-foot-tall man and his lifetime of ostracization. Seriously, why is this week hammering us with how hard it is to be tall? Try being 5-foot-7 sometime. I can get dizzy just standing on ceremony. (Prime Video)

The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs — The back end of Season 5 brings more cinema schlock, in celebration of the 90th anniversary of the American drive-in. I doubt anyone is going to be this excited when RPX nears 100. (Shudder)

Make Me Believe — The Turks are at it again, “shipping” us a romcom about former childhood sweethearts who get back together thanks to some well-intentioned meddling by their respective grandmothers. In an even sweeter twist, the whole scheme is just a plot to get the kids out of the country with their families’ heirloom jewelry smuggled in their colons. (Netflix)

¡Number Number: Jozi Gold — The return of South African cops Chili and Shoes finds them tasked with cracking the biggest gold heist in the history of Johannesburg. That is, if a moral quandary doesn’t get in the way of their work. Hey, that’s cute. Over here, the biggest internal conflict cops face is which of your taillights to knock out if you didn’t give to the PBA. (Netflix)

The Perfect Find — Fashion journo Gabrielle Union learns the meaning of squirm when she’s forced to work alongside her boss’ kid, whom she just happens to have made out with at a party. So it’s kind of like the Rudy Giuliani story, except everything was consensual and there are Black people in it. (Netflix)

Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series Part 3 — The Masters Eight Tournament pits Ash and Pikachu against a series of fierce competitors, culminating in a World Championship faceoff between Ash and Leon. If you can’t distinguish that synopsis from Season 3 of Break Point, you clearly have no children you’ve chosen to acknowledge. (Netflix)

Quicksand — You know that meme that says childhood makes it seem as if quicksand is going to be a bigger problem than it turns out to be? Well, nobody told the Colombians, who’ve made an entire horror/suspense flick about a married couple getting stuck in the stuff. What’s more, the two of them weren’t getting along to begin with. Plus, there’s also a snake bearing down on them! Now that’s a trifecta they didn’t prepare you for on F Troop. (Shudder)

Swagger — Season 2 of the Kevin Durantinspired coming-of-age drama has our young basketballers enrolling at a lily-white prep school, where they make the hoops program a winning proposition almost overnight. They could probably also work miracles on the homecoming floats, but y’all are too racist to wanna watch that for eight episodes. (Apple TV+)

Through My Window: Across the Sea — The Spanish YA romance Through My Window gets a sequel, with young lovers Ares and Raquel trying to rekindle their affair after a year apart. Hey, a year is a long time to kids nowadays. They should just be grateful they both still have the same gender identification. (Netflix)

An Unforgettable Year: Spring — The quartet of seasonally themed flicks concludes with the story of a high-school girl who can’t graduate without passing math — but learns something else in the bargain. Let me guess: She learns how to avoid quicksand. (Prime Video)

World’s Best — When an Indian-American math whiz discovers that rap is in his blood, much freewheeling musical comedy ensues. And by “freewheeling musical comedy,” I actually mean “one of the tinier subplots from Mean Girls getting ripped off wholesale.” Looks like Kevin G gotta cut a bitch!

LOCAL RELEASES

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Awesome and the Ass Kickers. But at last, the Orlando comedy punk band have returned with their first new collection since their Chinese Rocks/Paranoid EP with late Misfits drummer Joey Image came out six years ago. To make up for the absence, new album Lucharoos is a whopping 18-track drop, their most extended release yet. Moreover, the record features career-spanning contributions from all band members past and present (Johnny Dingleberry, Puñeta, Horchata and OG members Jose Verga and Muchacho), as well as a star cameo by Adrenalin OD’s Dave Scott Schwartzman.

This time, Awesome and the Ass Kickers have rebooted in a fresh, literate turn. No, of course they haven’t. The last things any band named Awesome and the Ass Kickers are concerned about are intellect and innovation. If you like your punk rock like that, go listen to Fugazi. As for fans of AAK, well, luchador masks and degenerate humor will suffice, fuck you very much.

Rest assured, the Ass Kickers have not matured one iota. As new titles like “Butt Nugget,” “Masturbate,” “Big Dick” and “Small Dick” can attest, they remain singleminded in their pursuit of puerile delights. If there’s a pig anywhere in you, then there’s mud galore on Lucharoos in which to revel.

That said, the songs are notably solid. With a stout guitar charge and big hooks, these anthems are tailor-made for group chants and pit cheer. There are some nice moments of punk en español (“No Te Reprimas,” “Negro Gato”), a little country twang (“Boy Scouts”) and some local love (“Will’s Pub”). But otherwise, Lucharoos keeps the punk jams straightforward.

The humor even gets self-deprecating in “Halftime Report” and “Wrap Up,” intermission skits featuring Real Radio 104.1 FM personalities Sabrina Ambra and Fritz (aka Orlando music scene omnipresence Jeff Ilgenfritz) negatively recapping the album with especially funny burns by Sabrina.

Lucharoos is the biggest and probably best batch yet of AAK’s rude, crude and catchy rock. Deliberately stupid but also fun-loving and merry, it’s juvenile escapism done better than it even needs to be.

Lucharoos now streams everywhere. But it’s also available on limited-edition red vinyl through Bandcamp, a collector’s item made even more special since it features album art by a legendary punk artist (and the Descendents’ go-to illustrator), Chris Shary.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Jacuzzi Boys, Snacks, Timothy Eerie: The ascendance of Miami breakouts Jacuzzi Boys from the punk underground in the early 2010s to neo-garage royalty ran right

through Orlando. Now, they’ve firmly established a name and niche for themselves with a breezy, pop-smart garage-rock aesthetic bathed in golden, tropical rays. Also particularly notable on this bill are Alabama band Snacks. The current vehicle for Zach Jeffries, a Huntsville scene mover and member of accomplished underground band Thomas Function (Alive Naturalsound, Fat Possum), Snacks specialize in airy indie rock whose dreamy melodies are diamondcut with pop punch.

Orlando true psych believers Timothy Eerie will make it a loaded docket. (8 p.m. Friday, June 23, Will’s Pub, $15)

Ghostface Killah, Chubb Rock: A spa resort is neither the first nor the 10th milieu that comes to mind for seeing rap legend Ghostface Killah. But the festivities planned for this full-weekend hip-hop getaway event look immersive and up-close.

Day 1 (June 24) features Ghostface Killah in concert, and those staying overnight at the resort will be treated to a meet-and-greet with the Wu-Tang star as well as other exclusive pre-show programming. In addition to hosting by Orlando dynamos MC Madd Illz and DJ Rincon, the night will also feature a side room headlined by O-Zone microphone legend Midaz the Beast and a graffiti art garden with live painting.

To close out the weekend, Day 2 (June 25) will be a throwback daytime pool party featuring a live performance by classic-rap icon Chubb Rock. Consider staying on property to make it a whole weekend. But dibs on Chamber No. 36. (8 p.m. Saturday, June 24, Dolce Vita Resort & Spa, $40-$2,500; 11 a.m. Sunday, June 25, Dolce Vita Resort & Spa, $25-$2,500)

Anila Quayyum Agha: Flourishing Patterns

The dark and the light, the oppositions between them and the music they can create together, are the territory Pakistani-American artist Anila Quayyum

Agha explores in her installations. Laser-cut steel boxes enclose a light source that broadcasts their lacy patterns — some inspired by Islamic geometric motifs — throughout a room. The shadow play turns the walls, ceiling and floor into paintings in their own right, enclosing the viewer in a box of their own. The sculptures are simultaneously massive and delicate, inviting close scrutiny of the intricate cutwork while appearing forbidding, almost frightening from farther away. Agha has said that while some of her works are inspired by personal tragedy and some are a conceptual reply to larger issues in immigration and misogyny, “People need to be rejuvenated and made to feel hopeful.” The artist will be present at the opening-night party, as well as conducting a gallery walkthrough the following morning. Opening, 6:30 p.m.; gallery tour, 11 a.m. Saturday, Mennello Museum of American Art, 900 E. Princeton St., mennellomuseum.org, $10. — Jessica Bryce Young

SATURDAY, JUNE 24

Bebe Rexha

The cover of multi-platinum singer Bebe Rexha’s newest album, Babe, immediately calls to mind one Dolly Parton for savvy pop-watchers. The resemblance goes way deeper than graphic-design homage, though. Dame Dolly joins Rexha for a duet on the album, in the form of stripped-down weeper “Seasons.” It’s surely a case of game recognize game — aside from the irrefutable fact that both have uniquely powerful pipes, Rexha, much like Parton, is as much a songwriter as a performer. In fact, she spent years behind the scenes, pitching in on the writing of singles for the likes of Eminem, Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas. Now the spotlight is all hers, and it’s about time. 7 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock.com/live, $40-$55. — Matthew Moyer

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Werq the World

Get ready to werq, Orlando. The queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race are sashaying their way to the City Beautiful for the 2023 Werq the World Tour. The

of the

tour is spreading drag love to fans everywhere, at a much-needed time when anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-drag laws are being passed in Florida and other states. The lineup features Asia O’Hara, Bosco, DeJa Skye, Jujubee, Laganja Estranja, Vanessa Vanjie and finalists from RPDR Season 15. In the show, these fierce performers are trapped in “the Netwerq,” a dystopian future where they must choose between the real world and the artificial one they’ve come to know. (And it can be tough to tell the difference sometimes.) 8 p.m., Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $39.50. — Sarah Castillo

SWAN Birthday Fundraiser

Stand With Abortion Now, a grass-roots abortion clinic escort group, throws a one-year anniversary celebration on Saturday doubling as a fundraiser for, in their words, “our continued efforts to thwart the fascist creep in Central Florida and beyond.” Their anniversary (June 24) falls on the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision last year. For the group’s founder, Betty, that day was a turning point, and she resolved to find some way to help protect abortion access. That has included helping protect abortion clinic patients from harassment outside of a clinic downtown, where anti-abortion protestors gather daily. The SWAN event at Redlight Redlight will be carnival-themed, with at least one food truck available (Red Panda Noodle says they’re “stoked to be there”) and drinks inside. 6 p.m., Redlight Redlight, 2810 Corrine Drive, instagram.com/ swanofcentralfl, free. —

The Mills 50 Mix Up

Honey nougat glacé! Wait, what are we talking about again? Oh yeah. Come Monday, set aside the workaday blues and take part in a stirring display of drunken democracy to help choose the official cocktail of Mills 50. The Sunroom hosts a competition of Mills 50’s mightiest mixologists, who will be mixing up their takes on a craft cocktail that captures the unique vibes of the neighborhood. (What does encroaching gentrification taste like? Wait, what are we talking about again?) The entry fee gets you a free drink and if you’re one of the first 25 in the door, you will be entered into a raffle for a guest judgeship. Choose wisely. 6 p.m., The Sunroom, 1315 N.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Northern Hemisphere, the astrological month of Cancer begins with the sun in its greatest glory. Our home star is at its highest altitude, shining with maximum brightness. So then why is the sign of the Crab ruled by the moon? Why do the longest days of the year coincide with the ascendancy of the mistress of the night? Ahhh. These are esoteric mysteries beyond the scope of this horoscope. But here’s a hint about what they signify for you personally. One of your assets can also be a liability: your innocent openness to the wonders of life. This quality is at the heart of your beauty but can also, on occasion, make you vulnerable to being overwhelmed. That’s why it’s so important that you master the art of setting boundaries, of honing your focus, of quaffing deeply from a few cups instead of sipping from many cups.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The coming weeks will be a delicate time for your spiritual unfoldment. You are primed to recover lost powers, rediscover key truths you have forgotten and reunite with parts of your soul you got cut off from. Will these good possibilities come to pass in their fullness? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how brave you are in seeking your healing. You must ask for what’s hard to ask for. You’ve got to find a way to feel deserving of the beauty and blessings that are available. P.S. — You ARE deserving. I will be cheering you on, dear Leo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Whether or not you have been enrolled in a learning institution during the past 12 months, I suspect you have been getting a rigorous education. Among the courses you have almost completed are lessons in intimacy, cooperation, collaboration, symbiosis, and togetherness. Have you mastered all the teachings? Probably not. There were too many of them, and they were too voluminous to grasp perfectly and completely. But that’s OK. You have done well. Now you’re ready to graduate, collect your diploma, and apply what you have learned.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): History has provided contradictory reports about Isabeau of Bavaria, who served as Queen of France from 1385 to 1422. Was she a corrupt, greedy, indecisive fool who harmed France’s fortunes? Or was she a talented diplomat with great skill in court politics and an effective leader during the many times her husband, King Charles VI, was incapacitated by illness? I bring these facts to your attention, Libra, hoping they will inspire you to refine, adjust, and firm up your own reputation. You can’t totally control how people perceive you, but you do have some power to shape their per-

ceptions — especially these days.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The next four weeks will be an excellent time to create and celebrate your own holidays. I recommend you dream up at least four new festivals, jubilees, anniversaries and other excuses to party. Eight or more would be even better. They could be quirky and modest, like Do No Housework Day, Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day or Write Bad Poetry Day. They could be more profound and impactful, like Forgive Your Parents for Everything Day, Walk on the Wild Side Day or Stay Home from Work Because You’re Feeling So Good Day. In my astrological opinion, Scorpio, you should regard playful fun as a top priority. (For more ideas, go here: tinyurl.com/createholidays, tinyurl.com/nouveauholidays and tinyurl.com/inventholidays.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a god who stole fire from his fellow gods and gave it to humans to help them build civilization. His divine colleagues were not pleased. Why? Maybe they feared that with the power of fire, people would become like gods themselves and have no further need for gods. Anyway, Sagittarius, I hope you’re in a fire-stealing mood. It’s a good time to raise your whole world up to a higher level — to track down and acquire prizes that will lead to major enhancements. And unlike what happened to Prometheus (the other gods punished him), I think you will get away with your gambits.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s discuss magical doorways. Each time you sleep, you slip through magical doorways called dreams. Whether or not you recall those adventures, they offer you interesting mysteries utterly unlike the events of your daily life. Here’s another example: A magical doorway opens when an ally or loved one shares intimate knowledge of their inner realms. Becoming absorbed in books, movies or songs is also a way to glide through a magical doorway. Another is when you discover an aspect of yourself, a corner of your being, that you didn’t know was there. I bring these thoughts to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect the coming weeks will present an extra inviting array of magical doorways.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Psychiatrist

Myron Hofer specializes in the motherinfant relationship. Among his findings: The first emotion that a newborn experiences is anxiety. Struggling to get out of the womb can be taxing, and it’s shocking to be separated from the warm, nourishing realm that has been home for months. The bad news is that most of us still carry the imprint of this original unease. The

good news, Aquarius, is that the coming months will be one of the best times ever for you to heal. For optimal results, place a high priority on getting an abundance of love, support, comfort and physical touch.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Curious blends and intriguing juxtapositions are in the works — or at least they should be. Improbable alliances might be desirable because they’re curative. Formulas with seemingly mismatched ingredients might fix a glitch, even if they never succeeded before and won’t again. I encourage you to synergize work and play. Negotiate serious business in casual settings and make yourself at home in a wild frontier.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When I was still an up-and-coming horoscope columnist, before I got widely syndicated, I supplemented my income with many other jobs. During one stretch, I wrote fortunes for a line of designer fortune cookies that were covered with gourmet chocolate and sold at the luxury department store Bloomingdale’s. The salary I got paid was meager. Part of my compensation came in the form of hundreds of delicious but non-nutritious cookies. If you are offered a comparable deal in the coming weeks and months, Aries, my advice is to do what I didn’t do but should have done: Ask for what’s truly valuable to you instead of accepting a substitute of marginal worth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): My mentor Ann Davies said that of all the signs of the zodiac, you Tauruses are most likely to develop finely honed intuition. At least potentially, you can tune in to the inner teacher better than the rest of us. The still, small voice rises up out of the silence and speaks to you clearly and crisply. Here’s even better news: I believe you are entering a phase when your relationship with this stellar faculty may ripen dramatically. Please take advantage of this subtly fabulous opportunity! Each day for the next 14 days, do a relaxing ritual in which you eagerly invite and welcome the guidance of your deepest inner source.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): New College in Oxford, U.K., has educated students since 1379. Among its old buildings is a dining hall that features beams made of thick oak trees. Unfortunately, most oak wood eventually attracts beetles that eat it and weaken it. Fortunately, the 14thcentury founders of New College foresaw that problem. They planted an oak grove whose trees were specifically meant to be used to replace the oak beams at New College. Which they are to this day. I would love you to derive inspiration from this story, Gemini. What practical longterm plans might you be wise to formulate in the coming months?
