We're not Dallas, Fort Worth or Austin. We're

s it a lifestyle brand or a digital discount subscription service? We’re not sure. iDentonfy, a new local business, didn’t tip its hand in the video promotion it launched on social media Monday. Owner Gabriel Killian assembled a crack team of Denton activists, musicians and influencers to wax poetic about what makes our hometown so unique. As for iDentonfy itself? In the nearly-7-minute video, Killian calls it “a membership rewards program that … allows … both individuals and businesses to give and receive.” The business’ website is equally mysterious. ■ The memorial service for Sarah McIntire, a professor emeritus and former chairwoman of the TWU biology department, was standing-roomonly on Tuesday. The late professor was remembered for leading students who faced many a barrier — class, race and gender — into science careers. ■ Denton chef Pam Chittenden is a big fan of iconic rock musician Patti Smith. She is not a huge fan of 10,000 Maniacs’ treatment of Smith’s “Because the Night.” In fact, Chittenden insists Natalie Merchant “besmirched” the song. ■ Friends of controversial local punk rocker Richard Haskins are staging a benefit concert for him on Sunday at Andy’s Bar. Proceeds will benefit Haskins’ legal fund. The gadfly musician was arrested in March immediately before his band’s scheduled show for 35 Denton. The arrest was for a probation violation stemming from a botched bank robbery attempt four years ago in Denton. The lineup for Sunday’s benefit includes the Southpaw Preachers, Chase Ryan and the Grave, and Hen and the Cocks. T-shirts and stickers will be sold, and cover is $10. ■ We gave you a heads-up here last week: A Ghost Adventures production crew would be shooting on Old Alton Bridge for an episode including our very own local apparition, the Goatman. The crew’s work this past weekend included re-enactments of Ku Klux Klan activities. No need to worry, folks, those were actors inside the pointy-hatted white robes. ■ A reader has a tip for you foodies: “Sugar Queen” cantaloupes are back again this year. “The farmer from Ponder has returned with a wonderful crop of sugary orange flesh,” our man at the Denton Community Market said. We can report the cantaloupes were selling fast, so don’t sleep in on Saturdays if you want one (or four). ■ Friends With Benefits, a Denton nonprofit that raises money for local nonprofits, is crowdfunding to start a North Texas music scholarship for local high school and college students. The fundraising goal is $2,000 by Aug. 10. Visit www.gofundme.com/2bj9tt5s. ■ Folks in Denton have known for a long time to be careful with the UNT logo, although the university itself forgot recently and had to pull some coffee cups off the shelves (unfortunate handle curvature made it look like the mug was spelling a rude anatomical term). But hey, at least it isn’t as bad as the initial logo for Trump and Pence.

Taco tryouts Hungry? Check out our reconnaissance on Denton’s taquerias ocial media and meme culture insists that tacos are best enjoyed on Tuesdays. This is nonsense. Tacos are suitable for any day of the week, and if your taste for the popular Mexican wrap is a beast that needs feeding (see what we did there?),

you’re in the right spot. The staff of the Denton RecordChronicle assembled around a big task: to sample as many taco joints in the city as possible and then recommend the tastiest in town to readers. The staff learned that many of Denton’s taco hot spots specialize in street tacos — diminutive tacos made with soft corn tortillas, spicy meat, peppery sauces and tons of flavors. While you can find plenty of traditional tacos at Denton taquerias, with warm flour tortillas or crunchy yellow

corn shells, there’s something charming about the humble street taco. You don’t always get shredded cheese or sour cream with this variety of taco. But you do get a tasty wedge of lime, fresh tomatillo and red salsas, and marinades that tease your taste buds for days. This guide to Denton street tacos isn’t comprehensive, but it is roadtested by our hungry crew. — Lucinda Breeding

Friendly skies By Rhiannon Saegert Staff Writer rsaegert@dentonrc.com

The nonprofit aviation group Flying Vikings will team up with the city to help kids with chronic illnesses or physical disabilities take

Flying Vikings heading to Denton to get special-needs children into air

to the skies from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 27 at Denton Enterprise Airport. “I’ve been doing this for 15 years. I realize now that your life can change in an instant, and people have to treasure that a little more,”

said Paul Hanson, CEO of Flying Vikings. “I get kids who went to the doctor thinking it was hay fever, and then they’ve been diagnosed with cancer. I’ve seen kids who go to the doctor, they think it’s allergies, and it’s leukemia.”

Volunteer pilots will take children and family members on 30minute joyrides. Kids will have the chance to try their hand at flying the plane during each trip. About See VIKINGS on 3

Hansen said the group plans to come to Denton annually from now on. “We’re going to fly in Houston, Georgetown, San Marcos, San Antonio, Killeen, you guys [Denton], and we’re going to pick up McKinney as well,” Hansen said. “[Denton] is growing like crazy and you have a lot of hospitals in the D-FW metroplex. We’ve been working on this for over a year, talking to the airport and the city.” In addition, the North Texas Corvette Club will take kids for free car rides, Home Depot will provide arts and crafts, and Chili’s, Raising Cane’s, Sam’s Club, Chick-fil-A and Domino’s Pizza will provide lunch. The Denton police and fire departments will assist the volunteers running the event. “We’ve got kids coming from Cook’s in Fort Worth and I’ve spoken with [Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital], and I contacted the Denton Bible Church,” Hansen said. “That’s how I target specific areas, by saying, ‘We can make this thing so big and so good if you guys want.’” The event is free, but all participating children must be diagnosed with either a chronic illness or physical disability and families must sign up in advance by contacting Hansen at 254458-7055 or flyinglittlevikings @yahoo.com.

Dallas electronic artist Datahowler waits for the green light to start his set at a Sofar Sounds show in Dallas. Sofar Sounds is a series of live music showcases held mostly in homes and occasionally in businesses.

Secret sounds Denton’s Sofar series continues ofar Sounds has two shows in Denton scheduled. One is coming up on Sunday. Sofar is an international concert series that stages shows in private homes and other alternative venues. Music lovers ask for an invitation through the series’ website and

then wait for a green light. The catch? Music fans only have the date and the city where the concert will happen. The address is shared with ticket holders before the show, and audiences don’t find out which artists and bands are performing until they arrive. Often, the performers are from the city where the concerts are staged, and attendees are invited to bring drinks and snacks. After the concert, at-

tendees can shop for musician or band merchandise and meet the performers. Sofar expanded into Denton in 2014. The Sunday concert is at 6 p.m. at an undisclosed location, with the closest “station” located in the 600 block of East Hickory Street. Later Denton concerts are set for Aug. 7 and 13.

Baja taco plates offer chicken, shrimp, fish (grilled or fried), pork and beef (brisket and ground). The grilled fish tacos are reliably light in flavor and weight (if you’re prone to post-lunch drowsiness) and the rice, beans and refried beans are worthwhile. $1.99 for shredded chicken, brisket, spicy pork and ground beef tacos; $2.19 for4 grilled veggie, fish, shrimp or chicken and beef fajita tacos. — L.B.

The lengua tacos were wellseasoned, though the slices could have been slimmer to make up for the bulk. The carne guisada tacos featured a salty, toothsome shredded pork with a nice lime marinade, and the barbacoa was the star of the show, with smoky, tender meat dressed with its own juices and medium-heat red sauce served on the side. All tacos were served on homemade flour tortillas that were a touch smaller than what comes in storebought parcels — though a little more like a pancake in thickness. Sauces, pico de gallo and wedges of lime are packed up in generous portions with your to-go order. $2.25 per taco. — L.B.

We sampled a variety of tacos from this humble establishment, and you get a choice between flour and corn tortillas. We chose corn tortillas, which provided a trace of sweetness to offset the smoky, rich cabrito, a tender and filling portion of goat meat. The flavors here are complex and deep enough to need little dressing. We squeezed a lime on the barbacoa, and pretty much ate it bare. But you can get diced pico de gallo — onion, tomato, cilantro and lime juice. The carne asada had gentle char flavor, which made for a lively counterpoint to the lime and spicy red sauce. Fresh pico cooled the seasoning a touch. The crew at El Pariente seems to have the touch with pork. The carne al pastor slowed us down to savor the tangy kick of pineapple marinade with — what was that? — a dusting of cumin? If you’re a sucker for all things savory and sweet, the al pastor will deliver. The pork retains its signature saltiness, and the fruitbased marinade takes things up a notch.

The kitchen crew chops everything to small bits and keeps sauces bubbling in slow cookers nearby. Fresh sauces are already in small plastic cups and the menu board features hastily written dishes in marker on posterboard. Also: depending on the day, diners can enjoy pupusas — thick, handmade, filled corn tortillas. And on your way out, you can grab a Jarritos and a Snickers bar. Tacos with corn tortillas cost $2.29 each, flour tortilla tacos cost $2.49 each. — L.B.

customers drive, walk and bike for breakfast and lunch. The tortillas are ultra fresh and the salsa hearty. Toppings also include chopped cilantro and onions grilled golden brown. Try the al pastor and lengua tacos, too. The taqueria opens at 6:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, serving breakfast fare until 11 a.m. Then the griddle heats up for lunch and dinner fare until 4 p.m. $1.65 per taco. — Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe

210 E. Hickory St. 940-483-8226 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday www.rtacos.com Rusty serves its tacos on smaller corn tortillas that are doubled up. This move makes sense, because a typical taco from this chain is stuffed to the point of near-collapse, and its vegetarian options are no exception. In the rajas taco, grilled poblano peppers, mushrooms, red peppers and onions make for a crunchy taco that’s on the sweet and spicy side. The queso fresco and cilantro toppings are savory, but take a back seat to the crisp veggies. If you’re looking for a street-style taco with a lot of grilled vegetables and not drowning in cheese, this one is for you. Where the rajas taco is sweet and fresh, the Rusty’s black bean taco is savory and smoky. The chipotle black beans are savory and filling, and the cojita cheese has a stronger taste than the queso fresco on the rajas taco. Toasted pumpkin seeds add a crunchy texture and a little more depth to the flavor of this small but powerful taco. — Rhiannon Saegert

It’s not so mild that the cilantro dominates, and it’s not anywhere close to overpowering. All of the flavors play off each other really well to create something worth going back for. At $1.50 per taco, they aren’t packed full of meat, but there’s enough there to leave you satisfied.

As it should be, the meat of the bistec taco stole the show. Cooked perfectly, the strips of meat are tender, juicy and packed with an unmistakable flavor. Like the other street tacos at El Taco Rico, the only other toppings you’ll find in these tacos are cilantro and onion. These tacos are simple and straightforward, but they’re good enough that gimmicks are unnecessary.

The diced meat is firm and chewy, perfect with a pinch of lime. And while customers can request beans, the addition of green salsa makes this taco feel complete. It’s clear the owners are making authentic food to accompany the small, homey atmosphere. The tacos are also on the cheaper side at $1.50 each. Those who don’t like a grease-covered flour tortilla should try the chorizo taco at Los Gallos. Topped with cheese, the seasoned pork sausage is delectable with red salsa. The homemade flour tortilla evokes a simplicity that is unmatched outside of mother’s kitchen. And even though a scoop of refried beans may enhance the overall flavor, the firm consistency and flavor of the sausage can stand on its own. — Julian Gill

The lengua is tender and flakes apart like it was slow cooked with care. The market’s barbacoa taco offers a generous portion of finely shredded, slightly smoky barbacoa with just the right balance of lean meat and fat without being greasy. You could easily be fooled into thinking you were eating a smoked brisket taco. Both pair well with La Estrella’s creamy avocado-based salsa verde, which is on the spicy side but well worth the burn. At $1.35 per taco, you might as well go all in and add sides of freshly made rice and beans for the full experience. — Cody Robinson

La Estrella Mini Market

will help keep this Dinosaur alive, because it’s in a cozy rail-side spot where past restaurants have gone extinct. Size-wise, the restaurant’s name befits the $2.40 slate of tacos, which are huge and come with your choice of toppings — onions and cilantro, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, lettuce and more. And that includes guacamole. (No upcharge! You hear that, mega-burrito-chain-namedafter-a-pepper?) We tried roasted pork with pasilla peppers — chiles that are low on the spice scale but still give a lively flavor to the tender, fall-apart pork. When you choose corn instead of flour for your tortillas, they’re doubled, which kind of helps keep the hot mess together and makes for a heartier taco. A vegetarian option, poblanos con queso, is a nice combination of textures: strips of mild poblano peppers, tender but roasted toasty on the outside, on a bed of sweet grilled onions and with a sprinkling of corn. $2.40 per taco. — Mariel

The barbacoa taco is stuffed with as much meat as possible without threatening to spill out of the small flour tortilla. Onion and cilantro balance the thickness of the meat,

which is better served with green salsa. About three tacos can fill an empty stomach. The order includes a potato and roasted jalapeño on a bed of onions — a beautiful accompaniment to a popular meal. It’s a filling meal on the cheap, with tacos costing $1.50 each. — J.G.

Customers can choose either corn or flour tortillas when they order, and the kitchen is open to making substitutions. Nature Muncher is a filling hummus, veggie and mushroom taco — familiar territory to any vegetarian customer. It’s a little bit like a typical hummus wrap, but the salsa and poblano peppers keep it from being dull or typical. This taco is fresh and healthy, but it’s still a satisfying taco that beats the typical bean and cheese options that most of us are used to. Sofa King Cheeeseey — a feta, jack, cheddar, goat cheese and queso taco — certainly lives up to its name. That much cheese might seem like overkill, and for some people it may be, but this taco manages to combine a ridiculous amount of cheesy goodness with a lot of flavor. The grilled poblano peppers, onions and spinach keep it from turning into a one-note, overwhelming mess. This one is overwhelming in the most positive sense. $2.99 per Nature Muncher, $3.29 for the cheesy taco. — R.S.

Fast & loud

Star Trek Beyond

‘Furious’ director shifts ‘Star Trek’ vehicle into high-gear

Rated PG-13, 122 minutes. Opens Friday.

By Preston Barta Film Critic

J.J. Abrams steps back to producer in favor of Justin Lin (Fast & Furious) as the new director; meanwhile, cast member Simon Pegg and co-writer Doug Jung (Dark Blue) take over the screenwriting duties from Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. With new talent at the helm, Star Trek Beyond travels back to basics for a prosperous third adventure through space. Back just in time to mark the 50th anniversary of the original television series launch, Beyond homes in on the five-year mission of Captain Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and friends to explore the final frontier that is space. Because, after all, the true mission of this series is to “explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.” Beyond doesn’t necessarily go venture into new territory. It faithfully follows the same story beats and tropes we’ve come to know from the franchise: The Enterprise encounters yet another hostile alien race with a serious chip on their shoulders about the nature of the Federation (the good guys). This leaves its captain and select members of the crew to find a way to get out of one mess after another and stop the reptilian-like Krall (Idris Elba) from fulfilling his nefarious plot. While the story stays the course, that doesn’t mean there

OPENING FRIDAY Ice Age: Collision Course It’s hard to believe it’s been 14 years since Ice Age dawned, but since then it has tanked from a heartfelt journey with friends to a series of largely forgettable films relegated to the $5 bin at Wal-Mart. Collision Course seems to follow that same path, with Manny (voiced by Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary) and Sid (John Leguizamo) joining forces with Buck (Simon Pegg) to fend off a meteor strike that’s threatening to destroy their world. Rated PG, 94 minutes. — Preston Barta Lights Out (★★★1⁄2) Ghost stories have been done to death, but James Wan (The Conjuring 2) knows a thing or two about feeding you nightmares and making you shriek. His latest production, Lights Out, puts forth a simple but effective concept: A brother (Gabriel Bateman) and sister (Teresa Palmer) encounter a malicious entity that has an attachment to their mother (Maria Bello). It’s very seldom you find a horror film with actual scares, human characters you can care for and an idea to get excited about, but first-time filmmaker David F. Sandberg (who’s also behind the upcoming Annabelle 2) finds a way to do so. Rated PG-13, 81 minutes. — P.B. Cafe Society (★★★1⁄2) Woody Allen is a mixed bag these days. He can wow you with a magical film like Midnight in Paris and overwhelm you with something like Blue Jasmine. Some of his films land better than others and show just how skilled of a writer he is. Cafe Society is one of his best in years. It follows the story of a young man (Jesse Eisenberg) from New York who moves to 1930s Hollywood in search of an exciting career. Also starring Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell and Corey Stoll, the film is a lovely and humorous tale of

Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and Sulu (John Cho) end up as captives together in “Star Trek Beyond.” Paramount Pictures

aren’t plenty of photon torpedoes, galactic battles or toured alien worlds. The action is impressive and very much in tune with the sort of summer popcorn flicks at which Lin excels. He carries his fast and furious energy over to Beyond and keep things moving at warp speed. The new aliens have a nostalgic touch that calls back to the latex, hair and makeup days of the original series. Some of the actors, like the villainous Krall (Elba), are too hidden under pounds of scales and bad-guy

East meeting West, and commoners meeting the upper class. At the Magnolia in Dallas and the Angelika Film Center in Plano. Rated PG-13, 85 minutes. — P.B. Life, Animated (★★★★) To put it simply, filmmaker Roger Ross William’s Life, Animated is one of those rare life-affirming documentaries that must be seen to be believed. Not only is it a powerful film about a young man with autism who uses Disney animated classics to express his feelings, but it’s a profound coming-of-age tale that’ll make you want to hold your family a little tighter. At the Angelika Film Center in Dallas. Rated PG, 91 minutes. — P.B. Les Cowboys (★★★1⁄2) In the early 1990s, in a rural French town, a man and his teen son go looking for his 16-year-old daughter, who ran away with an 18-year-old Muslim radical. Their odyssey takes them across Europe until the film’s second half, when co-writer and director Thomas Bidegain heads in an unexpected yet provocative direction. At one point, John C. Reilly pops up out of nowhere. Suspenseful and thought-provoking. Rated R, 104 minutes. At the Angelika Film Center in Dallas. — Boo Allen

NOW PLAYING Finding Dory (★★★1⁄2) A year after the events of Pixar’s Finding Nemo, we find our friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) on a journey to reunite with her family. Along the way, Dory meets new characters to admire — a nearsighted whale shark (Kaitlin Olson), a neurotic beluga whale (Ty Burrell), and Hank (Ed O’Neill), a grouchy octopus Dory runs into at a rehabilitative institution in California. Rated PG, 97 minutes. — P.B. Ghostbusters (★★★) The Ghostbusters are back, baby, but in a slightly new form. Instead of the likes of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd donning the suits, armed with proton blasters, it’s the lovely ladies who sting with comedy chops: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. And don’t forget Chris Hemsworth as a hilariously dim-witted secretary. The new team is against the world by trying to prove that ghosts exist in modern society. Directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy), this movie is unquestionably funny. The ultimate problem comes from an inconsistent tone and weak plotting. What is refreshing is its leads’ chemistry — McKinnon and

rasp for viewers to fully appreciate their performance; but others, like the savvy alien ally Jaylah (an excellent Sofia Boutella), enhance the film’s stunning aesthetic. Where Lin, Pegg and Jung accelerate the most is in their small character moments. Star Trek has always been a “thinking-person’s sci-fi” odyssey, and the film’s crew know this. They keep most of everything properly balanced to provide Beyond’s characters with a genuine warmth that seemed absent

from the last voyage, Star Trek Into Darkness. They’re aware of what makes each of the characters tick and who they need to pair the characters with to achieve the most satisfying results. One such match can be found with Spock and Dr. “Bones” McCoy (a scene-stealing Karl Urban), who spend most of the film together. Everyone gets their turn, however. Montgomery “Scotty” Scott (Pegg) is also engineered to provide the film with some funny bits, which comes as no

No joking matter

surprise since Pegg had a hand in the screenplay. He makes a great pairing with Jaylah (named after Jennifer Lawrence), who gives the boys’ club a jolt of cinematic electricity much like Daisy Ridley did with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Then, there are Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and Sulu (John Cho), who are captured together to bring more weight to the film’s intensity and drama. And lastly, Kirk and Chekov (the late and great Anton Yelchin) are cou-

pled to offer the story with some comedy and charm of its own. Yelchin (Green Room) is given a lot more to do here than before, which makes watching him in this installment all the more saddening. But it also shows just how gifted he was and how he had so many more stories to tell before we lost him last month to a tragic car accident. Beyond may not be the Star Trek your father grew up watching. It’s bigger and louder than the series and its predecessors ever were, but Lin shows that there is as much heart as there are thrills underneath Beyond’s hood to give summer the feelgood and entertaining movie we needed.

ake Dallas is one of 300 locations that will show Fathom Events’ one-night screening of Batman: The Killing Joke at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Monday at the Carmike Hickory Creek 16, 8380 S. Stemmons Freeway. Batman: The Killing Joke debuts Monday in about 1,000 cinemas across the country. The graphic novel has been adapted to a feature-length animated film about an ultimate showdown between DC Comics’ bitter rivals, Batman and the Joker. Fans will also get to see a special introduction from the voice of the Joker, Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and a never-before-seen documentary about Hamill and his dedication to the project. Actor Kevin Conroy voices Bruce Wayne/Batman. Tickets cost $12.50. Rated R, 76 minutes. Visit http://fandan.co/29SKeGg. DC Comics

Jones steal every scene they’re in. Rated PG-13, 116 minutes. — P.B. The Infiltrator (★★1⁄2) Bryan Cranston stars in this gritty, tough movie based on actual events. He plays Robert Mazur (who wrote the source book) who went undercover as a possible money launderer in the early 1990s infiltrating Pablo Escobar’s drug operation. Director Brad Furman fails to elevate his material, however, resulting in a predictable, standard work of the genre. Diane Kruger plays Mazur’s fellow operative, posing as his fiancee, and John Leguizamo is Mazur’s highenergy colleague. Rated R, 127 minutes. — B.A. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (★★★) Zac Efron and Adam Devine play two hard-partying brothers who get shown up by two even harderpartying ladies (Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick). But what Mike and Dave is really about comes from the title: Mike and Dave need dates for their baby sister’s wedding. The film walks a fine line between laugh-out-loud funny and plain “ugh,” but there’s a delectable charm between the four leads. Rated R, 98 minutes. — P.B. The Secret Life of Pets (★★★) A spoiled terrier named Max (voiced by Louis C.K.) enjoys a comfortable life in a New York apartment — until his owner (Ellie Kemper) takes in stray mutt Duke (Eric Stonestreet). During a walk in the park, Max and Duke encounter a group of feral alley cats and end up in a truck that’s bound for the pound. Fortunately, an unruly rabbit named Snowball (Kevin Hart) saves Max and Duke, then demands they join his clan of abandoned pets who want to take down the humans who’ve done them wrong. Rated PG, 90 minutes. — P.B.

Creep factor Series recaptures vibe from ’80s horror-adventure films By Preston Barta

Stranger Things

Film Critic

Stranger Things, Netflix’s latest foray into original programming, is one of its most impressive series thus far. The story takes place in the 1980s in a small town in Indiana, where everyone knows each other. After a peculiar incident involving the disappearance of a young boy (Noah Schnapp), a chain of mysterious events tear at the fabric of an otherwise peaceful community. Dark government agencies and otherworldly forces converge on the town, and it’s up to a few locals to follow the breadcrumbs and uncover the mystery. Stranger Things features a talented cast of actors, including Winona Ryder and David Harbour (Black Mass), and the creative minds of Matt and Ross Duffer (Wayward Pines), who draw inspiration from the earlier works of Steven Spielberg

Rated TV-14. One season of 8 episodes (50 minutes each). Now streaming exclusively on Netflix.

and monster-driven Stephen King adaptations. Their series becomes a dark and twisted ride into an even darker, more disturbing world where the stakes are high and emotions run deep. There is so much to appreciate about this series, whether it’s the nostalgic feelings it evokes or the admirable aesthetics on display. It’s far from being a wink-and-nudge show where actors play dress-up and read lines. There is a surprisingly amount of depth to each of the characters and the world they inhabit. It’s clear the Duffer brothers carefully calculated

Netflix

Winona Ryder stars in Netflix’s new series “Stranger Things.” each plot component to makes sure each story line intersects in a way that feels tangible. No one overstays their welcome and no subplot feels tacked on. Stranger Things is one of

those special shows that you stumble across and lose yourself in right from the get-go. It’s excitingly haunting and expertly woven through its eight-episode run, which is exactly what TV

fans need while popular shows like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead are on break. Throw caution to the wind and check it out, and thank me later.

Some fitness experts seek to end shaming By Kelli Kennedy Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — My grandmother can do more push-ups than you. No one wants to see jiggly cellulite hanging out of a bikini. You need to make up for all those cookies you ate last night. While those kinds of drill sergeant-style putdowns and bodyshaming warnings have long been a part of many fitness classes across the country, some instructors and researchers are promoting a change of message aimed at empowering clients, relieving stress and fueling students with confidence. “Body shaming and focusing on appearance and comparing yourself to other people, we ab-

“When a fitness instructor shouts something to us at a class, it’s very emotionally charged.” — Sadie Kurzban, owner of 305 Fitness solutely know that’s harmful for women,” said Renee Engeln, a Northwestern University psychology professor who has been studying messaging in fitness classes. “The more you’re exercising to look good or to lose weight, the less you tend to enjoy it, the

less you tend to stick with it. Whereas women who exercise because of how it makes them feel — healthier, stronger, less stressed — they tend to get more out of exercise and they tend to stick with it longer.” She surveyed hundreds of women who worked out in various types of classes and asked them to list their least favorite motivating comments. Around half said they hated comments that focused on appearance. “You still go into most group fitness classes and the lowestcommon denominator conversation is like, ‘Bikini body ladies, July Fourth is around the corner, what did you eat last night?’” said Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, a New York fitness instructor

and assistant professor of history at The New School who has been studying feminism and group fitness. Sadie Kurzban, owner of New York’s 305 Fitness, a dance workout with a live DJ, says such messages from instructors are ultimately counterproductive for clients, some of whom already have body insecurities. “When a fitness instructor shouts something to us at a class, it’s very emotionally charged,” Kurzban said. “As instructors, we have this deep power to either build people up, empower them, give them a message that’s really about their choice, their bodies, their lives or about shaming or putting them down.”
