Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith’s bill to aid businesses hampered by construction projects advances, ‘Florida’s DOGE’ eyes state universities and involuntarily salivates, and other news you may have missed.
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER, THE FLORIDA PHOENIX, AND THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
» Orlando senator’s bill to aid businesses harmed by construction projects advances
A bill filed by Orlando Democrat Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith (SB 324), which just cleared its second committee stop, would create a program within the Department of Commerce providing low-interest loans of up to $100,000 for small businesses harmed by prolonged state and local construction projects that directly block access to their establishments, if passed. The businesses must show proof of demonstrable loss, including a reduction in revenue from the start date of the construction to the week before they submit an application. Smith said the impetus for filing the bill was the closing in January of beloved Orlando restaurant and bar Hammered Lamb. The bill has one more stop before reaching the full Senate floor. Its House companion bill (HB 215), however, sponsored by Orlando Democrat Rep. Anna Eskamani, has not received a hearing yet in any committee. Florida’s 60-day legislative session began March 4 and will conclude May 2 — so there’s some time for this bill to pass, but we’re getting down to the wire now that we’re about two-thirds of the way through.
» DeSantis says $10 million payment to his wife’s charity program isn’t illegal Gov. Ron DeSantis denied last week that a $10 million payment to the Hope Florida Foundation that was part of an agreement with health care giant Centene over Medicaid payments was illegal, calling it a “cherry on top” instead. The settlement agreement, signed Sept. 27, 2024, was not disclosed to the Florida Legislature. Leading House Republicans suggested the payment to the foundation, championed by First Lady Casey DeSantis, could be illegal because it wasn’t disclosed as required by state law. “First of all, this was a settlement,” DeSantis told reporters in Miami. “It was a good deal that was negotiated.” Even more, the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald reported that just weeks after the DeSantis administration steered the $10 million to Casey DeSantis’ charity, the Hope Florida Foundation sent $5 million each to two separate groups that gave millions to a political committee that spearheaded a campaign in opposition to a ballot measure last year that would have legalized recreational marijuana if passed. Although the measure, Amendment 3, got about 55 percent of the vote, amendments to the state constitution now require at least 60 percent voter support in order to pass.
» Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed for child labor rollbacks, records show Orlando Weekly broke the story last week that, less than one year after signing child labor protection rollbacks into law, the DeSantis administration pushed for Republican allies in the state legislature to file legislation that would go even further. According to email communications we received through a public records request, staffers in the Executive Office of the Governor directly emailed draft legislation to Republican lawmakers who have since filed the governor’s child labor proposals for consideration by the state Legislature. The proposals, if passed, would weaken child labor protections for children as young as 14. An amendment to the House version (HB 1225) would also lower Florida’s working age from 14 to 13. DeSantis’ office did not provide an actual response when we reached out for comment for this story. Instead, EOG spokesperson Bryan Griffin responded to our email only with a link to a days-old social media post loosely explaining that DeSantis supports allowing teens to work part-time jobs (which, to be clear, they can already do under current law). Records show DeSantis’ office also provided Republican lawmakers with talking points to explain/defend their proposed rollbacks to decades-old child labor protections.
» Florida GOP signals support for banning publicly-funded guaranteed income programs
A Republican-dominated panel of Florida lawmakers last week advanced a bill that would ban government-funded guaranteed income programs, despite the fact that no such program actually exists in Florida. The bill (HB 1193) was advanced by the House Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee in an 11–4 vote along party lines, with bill sponsor Rep. David Borrero, R-Sweetwater, denouncing guaranteed income programs as “institutionalized socialism.” Such programs offer cash to a specific population in need, usually low-income individuals or families, over a set period of time, with no strings attached. The idea is to help alleviate poverty and inequality. According to the Stanford Basic Income Lab, there are more than 80 current or former guaranteed income programs across the country that were partially or fully funded through government funds, but no such program has ever existed in Florida — at least, not one funded by taxpayer dollars. Just two similar programs
have been attempted in the state (in Miami and Gainesville), but both were funded privately. Democrats on the House panel criticized Borrero’s bill, calling it unnecessary. “It seems like we’re chasing the bogeyman that’s not there,” pointed out Rep. Darryl Campbell, D-Fort Lauderdale.
» Florida universities face sweeping state audit under DeSantis’ DOGE mandate
Florida’s public universities and colleges have just two weeks to turn over six years’ worth of records on staffing, research and grant funding as part of the first formal information request under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ newly mandated Department of Government Efficiency — a sweeping effort (inspired by the Trump administration’s federal version) to identify “inefficiencies” in higher education. The DOGE team outlined the first phase of its audit in a letter to university presidents. Institutions were instructed to submit a vast set of documents: every awarded grant application and agreement, all publicly available research or academic drafts, and a full accounting of all non-instructional staff positions — including job titles, salaries, and whether the roles are in-person, remote or hybrid. The data request, broken into two deadlines of April 18 and April 30, is the first major operational move since DeSantis’ executive order in February creating Florida DOGE, modeled after tech mogul Elon Musk’s controversial federal cost-cutting consultancy. The letter was obtained by Fresh Take Florida, a news service of the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. It orders the DOGE team to work with the State Board of Education and university system’s Board of Governors to flag “unnecessary spending, programs, courses, staff and any other inefficiencies.” The scale and pace of the request have drawn concern from faculty, who say the DOGE team’s demands could significantly disrupt university operations and may further politicize academic governance in the state.

‘A CORPORATE HANDOUT’
Florida lawmakers advance a bill to repeal the state’s 1995 Labor Pool Act, which would gut more than a dozen protections currently in place for day laborers
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Abill that largely remained off the radar during the first half of Florida’s 60-day legislative session is now garnering strong opposition from labor advocates for its bid to repeal certain worker protections for day laborers and temp workers, including those who take on temporary positions in construction work, transportation, janitorial work, and other industries with a low bar to entry.
Supporters claim that the protections, enshrined under Florida’s Labor Pool Act, are duplicative, unnecessary due to federal labor law, and should be repealed.
Some opponents, however, say the legislation is being pushed by a “predatory” staffing agency that wants to eliminate state-level protections for nearly a million temp workers who have fewer protections guaranteed under federal law.
Protections lost under the proposal, for instance, would include a requirement that staffing agencies, or “labor pools,” inform their temp workers how they will be paid the first day on the job.
Workers would also lose the right to paystub transparency — requiring staffing agencies to provide itemized deductions on workers’ paychecks — and could be forced by agencies to pay for things like clothing, accessories, or other items required for the job. Caps on fees and deductions taken out of workers’ paychecks would also be lost.
Altogether, worker advocates say more than a dozen protections for day laborers would be gutted or significantly reduced if the Labor Pool Act is repealed.
“It’s not a cleanup, it’s not efficiency, and it’s sure as hell not about helping working people,” said Jackson Oberlink, the legislative director for the progressive advocacy group Florida for All. “This is a corporate handout to some of the most predatory players in the temp labor industry.”
The House version of the bill (HB 6033) cleared its second committee stop last Thursday in a vote along party lines, 11–3. Its twin in the Senate (SB 1672) unanimously cleared its first of three committee stops the week before.
Under Florida’s Labor Pool Act, first established in 1995, day laborers are defined as “temporary labor or employment that is occasional or irregular for which the worker is employed for not longer than the time period required to complete the temporary
assignment for which the individual worker was hired.”
It offers several worker protections that are covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act or Occupational Safety and Health Act, in addition to other protections that aren’t covered by federal law at all. The 1995 law in Florida was Republican-sponsored, according to the now-defunct Tampa Tribune, and supported by legal aid lawyers, religious groups, homeless advocates and others. One lawyer described current working conditions for temp workers at the time as exploitative.
“It’s a vicious cycle,” Arthur Rosenberg, then a lawyer for a Miami-area legal aid group, told the Tribune. “They’re exploited because they need jobs desperately. That’s what happens in sweat shops. When you’re at the bottom level, there’s no place else to go.”
Meanwhile, a representative for a Tampa staffing agency told the Tribune bluntly, “I think it stinks.”
Temporary help centers that supply solely white-collar or “skilled” laborers are excluded from the law, in addition to union hiring halls, farm labor contractors and employee leasing companies.
Thirty years later, proponents’ defense of the new bill seeking to repeal the 1995 law is being met with scrutiny.
The primary public supporter of the repeal is Pacesetter Personnel Services, a temporary staffing agency that has been accused of violating the Labor Pool Act by not providing day laborers with adequate access to water or bathroom breaks, and for overcharging workers for transportation to job sites.
by claiming that workers have protections through Florida’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the state version of the federal workplace safety agency that is currently under attack by the Trump administration and Trump’s DOGE.
Only problem is: Florida hasn’t had anything close to a state OSHA agency in roughly 25 years — not since former Gov. Jeb Bush eliminated the state worker safety division, then abolished the entire state department of labor a few years later.
Florida Republicans briefly flirted with the idea of creating a state OSHA in 2021 to circumvent federal vaccine mandates, but later abandoned the idea altogether.
“There is no such thing as a state OSHA,” Dr. Rich Templin, a lobbyist for the Florida AFLCIO confirmed, during public testimony on Abbott’s bill. “Matter of fact, there is very, very little regulatory and enforcement framework for labor here in the state since we dissolved the Department of Labor.”
A lobbyist for Pacesetter notably attempted to use this talking point to her advantage, arguing there’s no state enforcement of Florida’s Labor Pool Act as it is.
“The [state] Department of Labor no longer exists,” lobbyist Kate Mallette admitted. “But they were never — they never had oversight.”
“It’s not a cleanup, it’s not efficiency, and it’s sure as hell not about helping working people.”
Oberlink, with Florida for All, admitted that due to Florida lacking a state enforcement agency, all alleged violations of the Florida Labor Pool Act have to be litigated privately. But, he argues, that shouldn’t be used to justify getting rid of worker protections altogether.
only tools they have to protect themselves from wage theft and abuse.”
Maya Ragsdale, founder and co-executive director of Beyond the Bars — a social justice-oriented work center in South Florida for formerly incarcerated people — said Pacesetter is one of many temp agencies through which her group’s members often seek work.
She and the formerly incarcerated people she works with are concerned about the ways this bill would undermine temp workers’ rights on the job.
“I just really want to underscore how limited the protections in the [Labor Pool] Act already are,” she told Orlando Weekly. “These are really some of the only protections that these [temp] workers have.”
The Labor Pool Act, unlike any other federal or state law, explicitly prohibits staffing agencies from preventing one of their clients from hiring a temp worker for a full-time, permanent position. If this new effort to repeal the Act passes, that could be lost.
Ragsdale, a former assistant public defender and lawyer, believes the primary motivation behind the legislation is to allow for agencies like Pacesetter to “evade regulation” and future lawsuits.
A Senate staff analysis notes, if the bill passes, “There may be a reduction in litigation expenses for labor pools due to the removal of the prohibitions and remedies for violations under the Labor Pool Act.”
While Florida’s workforce is also covered by the federal Department of Labor — capable only of enforcing federal law — planned cuts within the DOL, including worker safety divisions, under the Trump administration have left labor advocates concerned that already lackluster enforcement in Florida (due, in part, to budgetary constraints) could grow worse.
At the same time, Florida lawmakers are also currently considering legislation that would allow employers to legally pay more workers less than minimum wage and weaken child labor law.
“I’m very hesitant to give workers less protection than more protection in light of all of the things that we see coming with this Legislature,” said Democratic Rep. Dotie Joseph. She admitted she felt she needed to do more research on the bill, in light of new concerns brought to light by opponents.
“My goal is to get to the heart of the issue, to fix it to the extent possible for all parties involved,” she continued. “And I think there may be a better way to do this than repealing it all together at this time.”
The agency is being represented by the lobbying firm of Ron Book, a private prison lobbyist and father of former Democratic State Sen. Lauren Book.
Republican state Rep. Shane Abbott, the bill’s sponsor, has defended the repeal in part
“The fact that Florida doesn’t enforce the Labor Pool Act isn’t a reason to gut it, it’s a reason to strengthen it,” Oberlink told Orlando Weekly over text.“Temp workers and day laborers already operate in a legal gray zone with virtually no oversight. This law is one of the
The House version of the repeal bill has one last committee it needs to clear before it can go to the full House for a vote. The Senate version has two more committee stops. The proposal would need to be approved by a majority of legislators in both chambers, then be signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in order to become law.

COLD AS ICE
Critics argue the city’s participation in the federal immigration enforcement program is voluntary, while the Florida AG implies that not taking part is illegal
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Saying their hands were tied, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer last week publicly defended the city’s participation in a federal immigration enforcement program, despite pushback from immigrant rights groups.
Advocates with the Immigrants Are Welcome Here coalition, made up of 30 immigrant and human rights groups, confronted city leaders at City Hall last week to slam the decision and to call on the city to rescind their agreement with the federal immigration enforcement agency.
“Families are … they’re scared, especially those from countries like Haiti and Venezuela, who are already facing uncertainty due to the rollback of legal protections at the federal level,” Kassanndra Santiago, executive director of development for the Pine Hills-based organization Las Semillas, told Orlando Weekly in a phone call.
“Many are asking whether Orlando is still a safe place for them, whether they’ll be targeted
actively participating or looking to participate in a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigrations and Customs Enforcement program that authorizes local law enforcement to carry out immigration enforcement duties.
Such duties could include interrogating and arresting “any” person an officer believes could be in the U.S. without legal authorization, according to the agreement.
Despite strong opposition from the local Immigrants Are Welcome Here coalition, Orange County leaders entered into a similar agreement last month. Just two county commissioners — Nicole Wilson and Kelly Semrad — dared to vote against county participation, despite a threat from Florida Gov. DeSantis to suspend or criminally prosecute any local officials in Florida that refuse to cooperate in federal immigration enforcement.
“The 287(g) program trains local law enforcement to aid ICE,” DeSantis wrote, in a post published on the social media platform X. “Florida will ensure its laws are followed, and when it comes to immigration — the days of inaction are over. Govern yourselves accordingly.”
REVERSING COURSE
Mayor Dyer, a registered Democrat and longtime city leader who says he won’t be running for re-election, reportedly told immigration rights advocates that OPD will not be “proactive” in federal immigration enforcement, despite their agreement to participate in the ICE program, known as the 287(g) program.
“We will from time to time apparently be called upon to support ICE,” Dyer explained, according to Central Florida Public Media. “And we will do what we have to do in that regard. We don’t want to lose both federal and state funding.”
Santiago, who also serves as a spokesperson for the Immigrants Are Welcome Here Coalition, claimed cities’ participation in the ICE program is “voluntary” and “unnecessary.”
Dyer himself said Orlando police will not engage in racial profiling or actively search for undocumented and unauthorized immigrants within city limits. But Santiago says members of her coalition are, nonetheless, calling on the city to rescind its agreement with ICE altogether.
As of 2023, nearly one-quarter of Orlando’s population is foreign-born, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Recent reports nationwide illustrate that many immigrant families have been scared to send children to school and report to work.
Advocates also warn that law enforcement’s collaboration with ICE will ultimately undermine communities’ trust in their agencies and, as a result, public safety.
“When you call those people to serve and protect and they don’t, it really undermines that trust, right?” noted Santiago.
All 67 sheriffs across Florida have entered into 287(g) agreements with ICE, according to the Florida Sheriffs Association.
There hasn’t been a noticeable demonstration of dissent. Fort Myers’ city council announced the city would not participate in the program, after three members voted against it. According to the Florida Phoenix, however, they later reversed course after DeSantis and State Attorney General James Uthmeier threatened to remove the dissenting elected officials from office.
“We were never told this vote could expose us to becoming labeled as a sanctuary city despite the city’s continued lawful cooperation with ICE,” said council member Darla Bonk, blaming their city attorney. “That omission is critical to the lack of efficacy that we were displayed.”
‘SOLIDARITY ISN’T PASSIVE’
during traffic stops, whether calling the police will put them at risk,” explained Santiago, who works primarily with Hispanic and Haitian immigrant families. “The sense of betrayal is real. You know, these families who contribute every day to the fabric of the city, they feel like their safety is being negotiated behind closed doors.”
For Santiago, it’s a “lack of transparency” from the city that’s caused frustration.
“Do we want to be a city that hides decisions from these people and collaborates with a kind of, like, deportation machine?” she asked. “Or do we want to be a place where every family, regardless of status, feels seen, safe and supported, especially when they contribute so much?”
Last month, the Orlando Police Department joined more than 100 law enforcement agencies in Florida — including police departments in Longwood, Ocoee, Apopka, Sanford, Winter Garden and Windermere — that are
Advocates also argued Orlando PD’s participation in the program would violate the Orlando Trust Act, a city resolution approved by Orlando city commissioners in 2018 that bans city employees (including cops) from questioning people about their immigration status.
“Many of the stories I’ve heard are heartbreaking, and that is why I’m committed to doing everything we can do to reaffirm and confirm our commitment to inclusiveness,” Dyer said at the time.“The Orlando Police Department is not in the business of immigration enforcement.”
Under pressure from the new Trump administration and threats from DeSantis, however, it appears the tune has changed, as the federal government moves forward with mass deportation efforts Trump campaigned on and pursued as soon as he re-entered the White House.
Orlando city commissioner Tony Ortiz, who was instrumental in the Orlando Trust Act’s passage, spoke “powerfully” last Monday “about the need to uphold the values of the Trust Act and to avoid inhumane collaboration with ICE,” according to Santiago.
Santiago confirmed that here in Central Florida, groups like the Hope CommUnity Center in Apopka and the Florida Immigrant Coalition are continuing to hold “know your rights” trainings for immigrants and immigrant families. Such trainings, which can be found on both groups’ social media pages and websites, aim to ensure people know their legal rights in the event they are confronted by police or federal enforcement agents about their immigration status.
She said community members who wish to show support for immigrant families in Orlando can contact city commissioners to tell them to rescind the city’s participation in the ICE program. Engaging in conversations about these issues is also important, she said.
“Honestly, just engage in these honest conversations with your neighbors and call out, you know, fear-based narratives or ideologies,” she said. “A big thing for us communally is that solidarity isn’t passive. It requires action, especially when our most vulnerable neighbors are under threat.”

Epic Universe is my new favorite park in Orlando, and here are the top four reasons why I can’t wait to go back.
Nearly seven years after my first mention of Epic Universe in this column (back when it was known as “Fantastic Worlds”), I finally set foot inside Universal Orlando’s newest theme park earlier this month, as part of the very first group of media invited for previews prior to the May 22nd grand opening. Nine short hours were only enough time to scratch the surface of this expansive wonderland, even with the aid of a VIP tour guide to skip past the lines, but my TL;DR first impression is that I have a new favorite park in Orlando, and perhaps second only to Tokyo DisneySea in the entire world. I’m sure I’ll find things to kvetch about after future trips, but for today these are the top four reasons I loved Epic Universe at first sight.
No. 1: Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
After two previous Potter-centric lands in the older parks, I was initially skeptical about the need for a third inspired by the lackluster Fantastic Beasts films, especially if it means putting more money into JKR’s increasingly problematic pocket. But it turns out that Universal’s richly textured re-creation of 1920s Paris — complete with charming street cafés along cobblestone boulevards and a forced perspective Sacré-Coeur dome shining in the distance — is the next closest thing to actually visiting Montmartre, minus the smell of French cigarettes and dog poop.
You’ll be tempted to sit and snack on Butterbeer crepes while the crowds go by, but be sure to hustle yourself towards the park’s signature attraction the second you get the signal that it’s up and running. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry not only improves upon everything Universal innovated in their earlier Forbidden Journey and Escape From Gringotts dark rides, it decisively dethrones Disney’s Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance as the most awe-inspiring experience in any theme park.
A trip through the Métro-Floo fireplace (accompanied by light and smoke effects) to 1990s London is only the first of many jaw-dropping moments found in the queue, which includes the towering tiled lobby and an endearing animatronic house elf named Higgledy. Elevator-styled ride vehicles — which pitch and spin like SpiderMan’s SCOOPs, but with increased vertical heave — take attendees to witness the trial of Dolores Umbridge (Oscar-winner Imelda Staunton, reprising her role), which goes awry when Hogwarts’ sadistic ex-headmistress escapes and steals a TimeTurner to resurrect Voldemort.
Battle at the Ministry blurs the line so expertly between razor-sharp 2-D screens — featuring convincing digital doubles of Harry, Ron and Hermione — and frighteningly fluid animatronics that I stumbled off after five minutes unsure
of what exactly I had seen, or how it could possibly have been pulled off without actual magic. The only thing I am sure of is my urgent need to ride it again and again and again. Thank Merlin it has a single-rider option, because Express Passes won’t be valid for this attraction, and the standby queue looks capable of holding over four hours of guests.
No. 2: Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment
Unlike the Wizarding World, Dark Universe was my most anticipated area at Epic Universe, and this loving homage/updated reimagining of the Universal Classic Monsters did not disappoint in the least. Curse of the Werewolf, an outdoor family spinning coaster, has a fun boomerang element through a werewolf-infested shack, but it’s far too short to be much more than a glorified C-Ticket. The real weenie here is Frankenstein’s Manor, the gargantuan gothic home to what would otherwise easily be my new favorite ride ever, if not for Battle at the Ministry.
Beginning with a preshow that showcases both the Kuka robotic arm that powers your ride vehicle (similar to Forbidden Journey) as well as the stunningly expressive animatronics that populate the experience, Monsters Unchained literally thrusts you into the middle of a battle between Frankenstein’s Monster and Dracula, with cameos from the full roster of vintage villains. Physically thrilling without being as nauseating at its Potter predecessor, and visually overwhelming without being overloaded with gore or jump-scares, this is as close to a perfect monster mashup as I could hope for, minus some minor muffled audio and missing effects. I’ll certainly be wearing out the single-rider entrance on this one as well.
No. 3: The Untrainable Dragon
I only first watched the first How to Train Your Dragon film and its sequel within the past month, and have no deep-rooted emotional attachment
to the franchise. So when I report that one attraction inside the Isle of Berk not only entertained me, but made me burst into actual tears, it should tell you something. That attraction wasn’t Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, a Hagrid-lite launched family coaster that put a big smile on my face; nor Dragon Racer’s Rally, a spin-and-puke that would have launched my lunch (excellent barbecue from Oak & Star Tavern) had I strapped in. Rather, it was The Untrainable Dragon, a 20-minute musical stage show featuring live drummers, vocalists and dancers alongside enormous dragon puppets, including ones that fly. This is the closest Universal entertainment has ever come to Broadway-quality production values, and having Toothless look down and blink at me as he soared overhead touched my heart like no theme park show has since Animal Kingdom’s original Finding Nemo musical. My only regret on my first Epic visit — and first priority when I return — is that I didn’t get to touch Toothless’ forehead myself in the nearby meet-and-greet paddock.
No. 4: Stardust Racers
Celestial Park, the verdant oasis that forms Epic Universe’s central hub, is mostly about Zen vibes, sporting soothing water features as well as several inviting watering holes. But it’s also home to the park’s most extreme thrill ride, the intertwined dueling launch coasters known as Stardust Racers. Although it doesn’t have Velocicoaster’s theming or multiple inversions, both tracks do deliver a breathtaking series of ejector airtime moments; I sat in the back row of the more-intense green side, and felt like my soul was being ejected from my body — in the best possible way.
Perhaps the only thing I found more thrilling than Stardust Racers’ negative Gs was its view of the building under construction on the expansion pad behind the Wizarding World. That’s exciting evidence that as epic as this universe’s journey has been so far, it’s only just beginning. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

PARK AND PECK
With its Florida-centric fare, The Chapman taps into the history of Winter Park
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Not since a sinkhole swallowed an entire city block has there been this significant an opening in Winter Park. OK, maybe that’s a bit much, but so is The Chapman — the most ambitious undertaking yet by Artistry Restaurants, whose presence along Park Avenue has long been established with mainstays Boca and Atlantic Beer & Oyster, with Oak & Stone, a pizza and beer concept, coming later this year. The Chapman, however, is in a category of its own. All 6,700 square feet of it. The restaurant celebrates the history of Winter Park and founders Oliver Chapman and Loring Chase, who transformed the city into a refuge for “men of means.” The Chapman, it seems, is a refuge for their descendants. Scan the tables
and booths on any given night and you’ll see the unmistakable face of old-money Winter Park. The menu, under the direction of Clifford Pleau, the former executive chef of California Grill and co-creator of Seasons 52, seems to cater to those palates.
Yet I’m sure even sojourning tycoons in turn-of-the-century Winter Park would wonder why roasted bosc pears in a burrata and prosciutto salad ($15) still had seeds in them. Or what unnecessary alchemy was responsible for balsamic “pearls” when a drizzle would’ve been just fine. And sniffing out fishy tuna is not some post-postmodern superpower. No, the focal ingredient in the ahi two ways ($26) seemed like it was a couple of days old, leaving

us little choice but to relegate the dull plate of raspberry poke and seared tuna to the fringes of our table.
Hopes were higher for the red snapper ($44), a dish we felt obliged to order seeing as this was a Florida restaurant touting Florida ingredients. But the overdone fillet set over a cauliflower-hominy hash sitting in an acidic roasted tomato vinaigrette just left us a bit baffled. Kitchens have off nights and this was certainly one of them. When a roasted, boneless half-chicken ($32) also came out parched, and on top of undercooked farro “risotto” no less, I vowed to return when the kitchen was in better form.
Two months later, accompanied by Ada and Jherome, a lovely couple who bid on a dining experience with me in an auction hosted by Shepherd’s Hope, I gave it another go. Luckily things got off to a much better start. Cocktails impressed the first time around, and a premeal quaff at The Chase Lounge inside the restaurant exhibited the same level of craft. We headed over to our table and talked about some heavy topics — healthcare, racism, classism, nationalism — over an outstanding colossal lump crab cake ($28) and sticky bang-bang lion’s mane mushrooms ($19). Bucatini ($29) in a San Marzano tomato sauce was lauded for its flavor, but cracks began to appear. First, rubbery citrus-seared shrimp in the pasta; then, an overdone brisket burger ($23) accompanied by underdone, almost crunchy, steak fries. And finally, by the very same snapper dish, which was just as overdone as it was last time.
Desserts weren’t immune to the ups and downs of the kitchen. The up, a warm pear and tart cherry “mai chai” crisp ($14) topped with vanilla bean ice cream, lent the comforting ending we craved. The down, a citrus meringue pie ($17), was just as cloying as it had been before. And cutting through that gingersnap crust required major effort — “Use the serving spoon,” I suggested to Ada after seeing her struggle with a fork.
“It just feels like a lost opportunity,” Ada said on a post-meal walk up Park Avenue.“The front of house seems to have it together,” I said, “but I don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen.” When I asked if they’d come back, their silent response said it all.
At the very least, the cocktail game is strong. In fact, they even snagged Daniel Lugo, the talented barkeep who was previously at Bar Kada, to embolden their beverage program even further. So as things currently stand with The Chapman, it might be best to just cut to The Chase. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

‘I KNEW IT WAS RISKY’
Actor and activist Mia Farrow reminisces about her first and most substantial role in Rosemary’s Baby
BY CAMERON MEIER
On the eve of her appearance at the 2025 Florida Film Festival, where she will screen the 1968 horror masterpiece Rosemary’s Baby, Mia Farrow shared her movie memories and reminisced about her career and personal life with Orlando Weekly
“I was thrilled when I was offered the part [of Rosemary],” Farrow recalls. “I know that I was not [the first choice. They] offered it to Jane Fonda, who would have been wonderful, and a bunch of other people. But, fortunately, for me, it was turned down by, you know, these extraordinary actors.”
Farrow even claims Fonda would have been better, as she was more suited physically and more age-appropriate, being eight years older than Farrow. But once production started, Farrow says she gained confidence.
“Luckily, I had that book [by Ira Levin], so though we didn’t shoot it in sequence, I was able to always know where I was. Now, back at the time, our director, Roman Polanski, a superb director, spoke very little English. I got very little direction except for the physical part, like your moves. [Polanski] also wrote the script, but, as I say, he barely spoke English at the time, so it was directly taken from the book.
“Obviously it was a very complex [part]. I’m in every scene,” Farrow says. “It takes me from a happy, young wife all the way to something different. But that’s what an actor lives for, and I had never been offered a part like that.
“But, also, I have to say I don’t think I’ve been offered a part that … substantial since.”
Not only was the part complex, the shoot was also dangerous. Farrow was asked to walk into real traffic on a busy New York City street, Polanski following her with a handheld camera, because his crew members refused.
“[The rest of the crew] were way too rational,” Farrow explains. “It was not a very safe thing to be doing. And Roman told me, ‘Oh, don’t worry. Nobody will hit a pregnant woman.’ [But] I knew it was risky. I also knew that I would be the one hit before Roman because he was on the other side of me. … I don’t know if I’d do it now.”
Another type of danger lurked on the set: creative tension, fueled by disagreements between Polanski and Farrow’s co-star John Cassavetes, who was an older and more established director.
“John was, what seemed to me, a lot older at the time. And I was also worshipful of his wife [Gena Rowlands]. And I loved his films. So they started off on a great foot — the two men — and

Roman’s wife, dear, beautiful angel Sharon [Tate], was killed [in the Charles Manson murders]. [And] my husband [Frank Sinatra] left me. It seemed like the end of the world.
“I don’t know what to say, you know. I don’t believe in curses. … It might have been bad luck.”
On a lighter note, one thing that would have profoundly changed the film was the proposed casting of Robert Redford over Cassavetes.
“He would have been great, [but] it would have been different, and maybe it wouldn’t have been as good,” Farrow says.“He’s a very different actor. [John] seemed old for the part. … But he gave that role a kind of New York actor feeling, but Redford had the West Coast gorgeousness.”
Farrow ended up working with Redford, with whom she became good friends, on 1974’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The film received mixed reviews, something Farrow says she understands. “[F. Scott Fitzgerald’s] writing is so exquisite. It’s in the writing. It’s in the passages,” she says. “I don’t know if there can be a successful version of it because of the brilliance of that dazzling little book.”
The 1980s saw an astonishing creative collaboration between Farrow and Woody Allen. Despite the well-publicized personal tragedies, the relationship produced classics such as Zelig, Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors and what Farrow refers to as the “rose” year.
then as the shooting went on, John’s style of acting and directing was so organic to John [that] he wanted certain moves that seemed comfortable to him. He wanted to be able to have … latitude with the dialogue … improvise a little bit.
“It really came to a height during the very last sequence of the movie,” Farrow explains.
“Roman had set up each person where he wanted them, and John had a different idea of where he should be. … It came to a point where they were heading toward each other in a not very nice way [and], fortunately, Ruth Gordon [who won an Oscar for her supporting role in the film] walked in and she said in that voice that could crack glass, ‘Now, now, now, let’s all get back to work.’”
So what about the infamous Rosemary’s Baby curse?
“That last scene in the movie, the witches’ gathering … they were all supposed to say something like ‘Hail, Satan,’ [and actor] Sidney Blackmer just shook his head and said, you know, ‘No good will come of this. It’s not [right].’ Some people wouldn’t say it. And a year later Sidney was blind [like one of the film’s characters] and [composer] Krzysztof Komeda, who was there that day watching, was dead [from a fall]. And
“We did two films that Woody and I would refer to as ‘the year of the roses.’ It was Broadway Danny Rose and Purple Rose of Cairo,” Farrow says, adding that she sometimes went out in public wearing her costumes, which were vastly different: one “mousy” and the other with “fake boobs, fake hips.” She says she learned how a woman’s appearance can affect how she’s treated.
“The way I was treated when I was in either one of those costumes was very, very different,” she says. “If I was the mousy girl from Purple Rose of Cairo, people treated me much more respectfully.”
Almost more than acting, today Farrow is known for charity, specifically her work with children, involvement with UNICEF and trips to war-torn Darfur.
“That’s been very meaningful to me,” she says. “We go this way but once, and I just wanted a way to give. … I did what I could, where I could.”
Despite her accomplishments, she remains humble.
“I’ve been very, very lucky,” Farrow says. Rosemary’s Baby screens at Maitland’s Enzian Theater Friday at 7:30 p.m., and will be followed by a Q&A session with Farrow. Tickets cost $100 and were still available at press time.

CITIZEN SHITHEAD
Local screening of documentary about DOA singer and activist Joe Keithley gets a twist ending courtesy
of President Trump
BY MATTHEW MOYER
Among the nearly 200 films on offer at this year’s Florida Film Festival, the music documentaries, as usual, are top-notch. Aside from excellent features on the Lunachicks and King Records, perhaps the one with the most buzz is Scott Crawford’s look at the life, music and activism of Canadian hardcore legend Joe “Joey Shithead” Keithley, Something Better Change.
Crawford, director of the stellar docs Creem and D.C. hardcore history Salad Days, took a
feeling a fair amount of despair at the time. I saw a headline about Joe winning his council member seat in his hometown for the Green Party. It was a David and Goliath story that really appealed to me on so many levels. So I approached him about following him along on his reelection campaign in 2022. Win or lose, that would be the film’s arc. I’m grateful to him for saying yes.”
In the 1980s, DOA changed the game in the punk world, making music that was louder, faster, leaner and even more furious than their peers. And hardcore was, arguably, born.
The band even named the genre with their classic album Hardcore ’81. They threw some of the first hardcore shows with Black Flag, and developed a hard-touring DIY-or-die work ethic that inspired their young American peers. When no less than Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye says that Keithley “gave a fuck” and Henry Rollins enviously bemoans that DOA’s tours were longer than Black Flag’s, you can take that to the credibility bank.
Keithley and the band genuinely wanted to change the world through music. DOA had a progressive, rather than nihilistic, heart, with a clear throughline to early radical folk music. But for Keithley, after a few decades grinding it out in the punk world, music wouldn’t be enough to work toward the change he wanted to see in society.
He decided to run for city councilor as part of the Green Party, musing, “We usually vote for shitheads, so why not Joey Shithead this time?”
Though Keithley says that some of his friends didn’t understand his decision, talking head Duff McKagan — an OG Pacific Northwest punk before his time in Guns N’ Roses — posits that he always thought Keithley would move on to something that would really make a difference.
So while, yes, there is a deep and satisfying archival dive into Keithley’s life as Joey Shithead, Crawford spends as much time following Keithley campaigning, meeting constituents, knocking on doors, attending rallies and trying to enact incremental change on a local level around environmental issues and fair housing.
There’s kind of a Mr. Smith Goes to Vancouver vibe to his grass-roots approach and the film even features an election night cliffhanger for him and the Green Party, with some losses (no spoilers), but a slug of vodka and a vow to keep fighting.

film that was made as a way of finding hope during Trump 1.
Keithley was supposed to come to the Enzian for one of the FFF screenings to talk about the film and meet fans. But, as Canada is suddenly one of the United States’ mortal enemies seemingly out of nowhere, Keithley’s appearance has been canceled. A wise move, given that Canadian actress Jasmine Mooney was detained inexplicably by ICE for weeks in a detention center, and no doubt some customs enforcement ghoul would be licking their chops at bagging the man who wrote the song “Fucked Up Ronnie.” It added surreal heft to Keithley talking about obstacles faced by DOA in the film: “People wanted to beat us up, police wanted to harass us, border guards wanted to detain us.”
We can expect to see a lot more of this, as international artists of all types decide to take a pass on the United States, instead of setting themselves up for hostility and capricious harassment from the government of the U.S. (International tourists, too, no doubt.) It’s bleak, but it’s a clarion call to action.
“Given the results [of the U.S. elections] and our current political climate, I think this doc has taken on a new sense of urgency — and hope — about the power of grass-roots activism,” says Crawford. “Joe’s motto has always been, ‘Talk minus action equals zero,’ and that’s something I really wanted to explore in the film.”
“We are obviously completely bummed out about the fact that Joey can’t come to the festival this year. However, as a politician in Canada, we understand that he is in a difficult position due to the current issues our two countries are having with one another,” says Tim Anderson, one of the FFF organizers, to OW. “It is my hope that with this screening, the people who come are also moved to make their voices heard.”
deep dive into Keithley’s tenure as singer in seminal hardcore band DOA and how he followed that radical path to activism and politics in his hometown of Burnaby in Canada.
“I’ve always been a fan of DOA and Joe Keithley since first seeing them in 1985 as a kid. Bands like DOA, Dead Kennedys, MDC and others at the time helped educate me about the social issues of the day,” Crawford tells Orlando Weekly. “Fast-forward to 2018, and we’re living under a divisive administration, which had me
Keithley gave the crew full access to himself, his family and his archives, and it makes for an inspiring story of trying to make the system work for the people and not the donors.
“I was really happy at being the subject of this doc,” Keithley tells Orlando Weekly. “It takes an in-depth look at my 45 years of activism I have done on behalf of regular working people, as they always need somebody to stand up for them and try and make society work for the good of all and not just for the wealthy.”
But as with everything in 2025, there’s a shitty, Trumpy coda that adds some bleak irony to a
We give Keithley the final word, asking him about the viability of punks and artists entering politics in the year of our lord 2025. He remains resolute.
“I would encourage punks, musicians, artists of all types to run for politics, as well as people from different walks of life, such as carpenters, people who run daycares and young people,” Keithley told OW. “Run in politics to help your neighbors, your community, the world, as opposed to running for power and greed.”
Scott Crawford is coming to the Enzian for the Wednesday night screening of Something Better Change and Joe Keithley will absolutely be there in spirit. And on celluloid.

Premieres Wednesday:
The Diamond Heist — Revisit the England of 2000 in a documentary about the daring criminals who tried to steal an incredibly valuable gem from the just-opened Millennium Dome (now the O2 Arena). They didn’t get away with it, which I can only chalk up to an inherent lack of Yankee ingenuity. I mean, the Kia Center is still looking for that Lionel Richie standee I have in my garage. (Netflix)
Government Cheese — Absurdist humor ensues when a Black ex-con returns to his San Fernando Valley home in 1969, only to find his family profoundly changed in his absence. But no matter how weird and uncomfortable things might seem at first, everything should shake itself out once they take that eagerly awaited road trip to Altamont. (Apple TV+)
I Am Not Mendoza — The final project from Fernando Gaitán, creator of the original Yo Soy Betty, La Fea, concerns an ordinary schlub from Mexico City who’s thrust into a world of danger when he’s forced to impersonate a highly corrupt business tycoon. Scoff if you will, but Jeff Bezos may have just
found the alibi that keeps him away from the guillotine. (Netflix)
Project UFO — A Polish TV host and an armchair conspiracist team up to get to the bottom of an alleged extraterrestrial incident in a small town. Series creator Kasper Bajon says the show is really about loneliness, which is a polite way of saying “being a nut.” (Netflix)
Premieres Thursday:
#1 Happy Family USA — Ramy Youssef supplies multiple voices to his new animated comedy about a Muslim-American family that’s trying hard not to seem suspicious in the aftermath of Sept. 11. Remember when being falsely associated with terrorism would just get you booted from the HOA? Now you get thrown into the back of a van and taken to El Salvador. Or worse yet, Nantucket. (Prime Video)
Istanbul Encyclopedia — What we have here is a real Turk-out-of-water story, with a smalltown girl getting more of an education than she bargained for when she moves to her nation’s biggest city to study. Things take a turn for the intense when she joins the protest
us, the deadliest domestic terror attack so far. (Netflix)
Dead Mail — More ’80s period horror, with an intrepid postal worker trying to track down a kidnap victim who sent a plea for help through the mail like a message in a bottle. If you were born in a year that begins with the number 2, ask a boomer to explain the concept of messages in bottles. And “the mail.” (Shudder)
iHostage — Alternating storytelling perspectives enliven this dramatization of a news story that gripped the Netherlands in 2022, when an armed Bulgarian took over an Apple Store in Amsterdam. But that’s nothing compared to the hostage situation that is “owning an Android.” (Netflix)
Jane — Season 3 of the environmentally minded family series features a special appearance by its namesake and inspiration, the great Dr. Jane Goodall. Sounds fun, although the show I really want to see her drop in on is Hanging With Dr. Z. (Apple TV+)
movement against the hardline policies President Erdoğan is imposing on … aaand she’s just been disappeared. (Netflix)
Law & Order: Organized Crime — The series moves to streaming-only for Season 5, in which Christopher Meloni’s Stabler finds himself in the crosshairs of Italian gangsters who are bent on revenge. Meanwhile, the original Law & Order and SVU are both still on regular NBC, which means there’s only one show you’re going to have to recap for your mom every week. (Peacock)
Leverage: Redemption — Season 3 finds our crew of righteous vigilantes taking down a host of bad actors, from elected officials who act like kings to people who exploit child labor for profit. Gosh, you’d need seven Anna Eskamanis to undo that much of the governor’s agenda. (Amazon Freevee)
Ransom Canyon — This series vehicle for Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly is a romantic Western about embattled ranchers that’s based on the novels of author Jodi Thomas. (Not to be confused with Jodi Renee Thomas, a past winner of the “Best Local Author” category in Orlando Weekly’s Best of Orlando® competition. That Jodi would have made the ranch some sort of commune where everybody dances naked around the campfire while lusting after a hot ranchhand. I know, because I asked her!) (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror — Thirty years later, refresh your memories of the deadliest domestic terror attack in U.S. history. Or as Homer Simpson would remind
Light & Magic — Lawrence Kasdan cedes the directorial reins to Joe Johnston in Season 2, which examines the contributions George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic made to movies like Twister, Pirates of the Caribbean, War of the Worlds and Casper. Wait a minute ... you mean that kid wasn’t really dead? I always thought the flick was a sequel to My Girl. (Disney+)
Premieres Saturday:
Heavenly Ever After — Being reunited with your soulmate in the afterlife — sounds ideal, doesn’t it? Well, there are other factors to consider, as a Korean couple learns when they meet again after death and realize there’s now a five-decade age gap between them. I think the message here is clear: If you want your relationship to last throughout eternity, a suicide pact is the only way to go. (Netflix)
Premieres Monday:
Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey — An intrepid animal advocate spirits one of the world’s most endangered creatures away from South African poachers in a documentary by Academy Award winner Pippa Ehrlich. If you’re unfamiliar with the pangolin, it’s a kind of scaly anteater that looks like it should be fighting Godzilla for control of Tokyo. And they’re not to be confused with penguins, whose only natural predator is tariffs. (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
Andor — It’s two and done for the Rogue One prequel series, which enters its second and final season at a moment that finds our band of galactic rebels caught in “the vice grip of revolution.” I tell ya, you go to one meetup, and you’re getting texts for the rest of your life. (Disney+)

WHAT THEY DO IN THE SHADOWS
Orlando rockers Magnolia Park play vampy homecoming show
BY JUNO LE
Rise, Orlando vampires, and enter Nocturne Nexus, a shadowed realm where an ancient darkness stirs.
This fictional urban cityscape sets the scene for Magnolia Park’s new album, VAMP.
Orlando-native punk band Magnolia Park play a homecoming show at the Beacham Friday, with support from Hot Milk, South Arcade and Savage Hands. They’re out on tour commemorating the album’s release.
VAMP is an adventurous new chapter in Magnolia Park’s discography, showing off bold songwriting from a band that have dramatically evolved from their early pop-punk roots. The new songs incorporate heavier sounds and dive deep into the gothic lore of the album’s concept.
For Magnolia Park, the album is more than just the music. “It’s about this group of vampires
and their battle against this oppressive government entity called the Shadow Cult,” says Freddie Criales, one of Magnolia Park’s two guitarists and founding members.
VAMP follows Aurora X1, a half-human, half-cyborg warrior who leads a rebel group called the Shadow Breakers. To combat the Shadow Cult’s sinister magic, the Shadow Breakers transform into vampires through a ritual with the mythical bloodstone.
The band’s website features an immersive page dedicated to the larger VAMP universe. Fans can trek through the various locations of the world, learn about the characters, their backstories and abilities, and read the ongoing story, which currently has two published chapters.
The inspiration behind VAMP came after guitarist Tristan Torres showed the group the 1985 Japanese anime Vampire Hunter D. Much like
the world of VAMP, Vampire Hunter D is set in a post-apocalyptic future. It follows vampire hunter D, a half-human, half-vampire, as he protects Doris Lang from becoming the bride of Count Magnus Lee, an old and powerful vampire of the Great Nobility.
“It’s really cool. It’s futuristic, but it’s also archaic in its aesthetics. It’s really cool. It’s really weird,” Criales says.
It isn’t the only instance where the group has found inspiration for their music through other media.
“We like anime, so we’ll think of an anime or sometimes, at least for me personally, I’ll look at a videogame. Like I’ll go on Pinterest, look up a videogame, see what the videogame was about and see if I can draw any inspiration from that,” Criales says.
Ahead of their homecoming show and as part of Record Store Day 2025 last weekend, Magnolia Park gave local fans another treat when they partnered with Park Ave CDs for a meet-and-greet and signing event.
“It’s pretty important, I think, showing some love to the people that give you the ability to even do this at all. It’s pretty crucial to show appreciation,” Criales explains.
Magnolia Park hits 25 cities across the country on the VAMP touring run.
“Every city in the U.S. is kind of strange. I always think of it more as regions, like the Southeast has its own vibe,” Criales says. “When you get to Boston, New York, New Jersey, it’s way more of a different vibe. People are more

to themselves, they mosh and stuff, but I think people kind of go crazier when you get to, like, California, Texas, that area. So, just different energies is what I noticed the most.”
The band has set aside working on any new music to focus on the production of their tour over the last few months.
“We’ve pretty much been taking time off to focus on creating the best show possible, which I think we have right now. We got more production with the lights, we got statues, we got coffins that kind of set the vibe and the aesthetic,” Criales teases.
There’s an air of comfort in returning to Orlando to play a show.
“It’s nice because we get to see all of our friends, and our friends and family come out, which is always really cool,” Criales says. “I also just love playing in Orlando because I can see how every time we play here, more and more people come out.”

TRIP MAGAZEEN BOOK RELEASE
As much as I’ve personally tried to remedy this over the years through my own coverage, Central Florida’s 1990s dance music scene remains one of the most overlooked stories in modern American music history. But an upcoming homegrown book could help the cause.
Releasing May 30, TRiP Magazeen: The Complete Collection is a 350-page book that unearths and compiles some essential frontline coverage of the ’90s Central Florida rave boom. Running from 1992 to 1994, TRiP Magazeen was a Tampa zine that specialized in underground dance culture with extensive coverage of the era’s history-making sounds, figures and happenings.
As with many pre-internet things, however, TRiP got a bit buried in the dust of time, much like the otherwise primetime story of our native scene at the time. Now, for the first time ever, all that archival footage will be compiled and released in this deluxe book. Hopefully, with this new spotlight, Florida’s world-class electronic music legacy will be a big step closer to getting its due propers in the dance canon.
This weekend, Orlando gets a special advance peek at a pre-release event headlined by the legendary DJ Three, who was the senior editor of TRiP (7 p.m. Friday, April 18, Iron Cow, $15-$60 ). The loaded evening will feature a meet-and-greet, book signing and a full bill of music including DJ sets by Three, Chad Andrew b2b Atnarko, Lola B. and a live performance by Jennifer Place. Making it a total multisensory time warp will be Factory Visuals’ Gary Davis. This will be an extraordinary night of living Florida history.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Loose Touch, Loris, TV Dinner: After lighting up the city’s underground rock
Even for a group that’s spent 60 years performing political and narcocorrido songs that’ve led to bans and censorship in their native Mexico, legendary norteño family band Los Tigres del Norte are living especially dangerously by coming to Florida right now
cognoscenti upon their emergence a couple years ago, Orlando all-star heavy-rock band Loose Touch remain an enigma. Their appearances have been few and mostly as an opening act. And despite recording a seriously hot fulllength album two years ago, it has yet to see the light of day. While a release date is still elusive, Loose Touch’s upcoming show will at long last be a headlining look at the fuzzed-up, stonedout glory of these riff lords. Opening will be Gainesville post-rock shoegazers Loris and excellent Orlando indie rockers TV Dinner. (7 p.m. Thursday, April 17, Will’s Pub, $10-$12)
Los Tigres del Norte: Even for a group that’s spent 60 years doing political and narcocorrido
songs that’ve led to bans and censorship in their native Mexico, legendary norteño family band Los Tigres del Norte are living especially dangerously by coming to Orlando right now. Yes, we’re open, accepting and love what Los Tigres do and represent — from their songs detailing the immigrant experience to writing the first gay norteño song to being the first major act allowed to play and record at Folsom Prison since Johnny Cash. But we’re a blue bastion in a currently red state being run over roughshod by a grandstanding culture-war extremist during a national fascist zeitgeist.
Moreover, while Los Tigres are all naturalized American citizens, we know legal facts matter little to a sitting POTUS who’s repeatedly called Mexicans criminals and rapists. But even though haters gonna hate, or maybe even call ICE or some little bitch move like that, the mighty Los Tigres del Norte are coming nonetheless. They’ll show that not only is regional Mexican music an unstoppable cultural force, but that the band’s immense and enduring popularity proves that the Mexican perspective is a proud and inextricable part of America, regardless of whatever the fuck the racists say. (8 p.m. Friday, April 18, Dr. Phillips Center, $59.32-$251.02)
OGRC’s Youth to the Front: Orlando Girls Rock Camp continue their essential and seminal work in ensuring the city’s creative future by making the underground rock scene both accessible and safe for the next generation. The next edition of their “Youth to the Front” all-ages concert series features a full afternoon of young bands including Orlando indie rockers Catnap, Jacksonville indie-pop act Soft, Jacksonville queer anarcho-punks Dogsmiles, St. Pete hardcore band Walled City and the debut of Sux 2 Be Us. (2 p.m. Saturday, April 19, Will’s Pub, $10-$20) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com
Poignant cultural documentary Spaces of Exception is set to screen in Orlando this week. The film, which saw a sold-out North American premiere run at the 2023 Anthology Film Archives, navigates the complexities and communities found within both Palestinian refugee camps and American Indian reservations. It includes interviews with members of the American Indian Movement, the Mohawk Warrior Society and Diné families alongside Palestinian militant organizations, environmental activists, the loved ones of political prisoners and more. Co-directors Matt Peterson and Malek Ramany will be present at Stardust Video for a Q&A session. Admission for the screening is a sliding scale donation that will go directly to the filmmaker and/or Palestinian relief organization Healing Our Homeland. 8 p.m., Stardust Video & Coffee, 1842 E.

This one’s for all the true-crime fanatics. Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat, co-hosts of the hit true crime podcast “Crime Junkie,” stop in Orlando as part of their 18-city U.S. tour. Flowers and Prawat are loved by fans for their deep dives, covering everything from missing persons cases to mysterious deaths and unsolved murders. The podcast shot to fame in 2018 when Rolling Stone named it as one of the best crime podcasts, but “Crime Junkie” had garnered a massive and loyal fanbase already — and they’ve since become the second most-listened-to podcast in 2022, behind Joe Rogan (ugh). Popular episodes have covered the Las Cruces bowling alley massacre, the Yogurt Shop Killer and the Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders. Experience Flowers’ and Prawat’s vivid story-
telling as it gets weird and perhaps gross; it will definitely have you at the edge of your seat, eager for the next grim revelation. 7:30 p.m., Addition Financial Arena, 12777 Gemini Blvd. N., additionfiarena.com, $36-$106. — Juno Le

Kool Keith
In a pop world where everyone wants to appear at least a little outré (as long as it doesn’t impact the bottom line), the enduring non-career of iconoclastic rapper Kool Keith is always inspiring. First gaining fame as part of the boundary-pushing collective Ultramagnetic MCs in the 1980s, soon enough he struck out on his own and it was off to the races. His discography is almost unrivaled in its depth, featuring collaborations with everyone from Ice T to Del the Funky Homosapien to Thetan, and his infamous and iconic turn as Dr. Octagon singlehandedly remade trip-hop in his own weirdo image. He’s still doing whatever he wants, and he’s returning to Orlando’s Will’s Pub, a city and a stage where he has deep connections going back years. Joining Kool Keith on this tour is the equally iconoclastic MC Homeless, a Midwest rapper who effortlessly fuses hardcore fury, industrial blasts and impeccable bars. Last time through he played Grumpy’s with Black Wick and a lot of you missed it, so don’t repeat that mistake. 8 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org. — Matthew Moyer

Baldur’s Gay
Conduit gets nerdy and racy with this after-hours homage to the role-playing videogame “Baldur’s Gate,” a spin-off of the Dungeons and Dragons “universe.” Cherry Bonbon Productions — never averse to tackling pop-culture standbys like Shrek and adding a little shimmy-and-tease — promise a night of saucy elves, warrior priests, wizards,

Central Florida Earth Day
Show some love to Mother Nature at this outdoor Earth Day event. Central Florida Earth Day is a long-lived, locally grown annual gathering to encourage sustainable living and nature-friendly community involvement. Various local leaders will be in attendance to talk about environmental advocacy and climate change. There will be live entertainment from folk and spiritual musicians, dance performances, yoga and tai chi. The day is dog-friendly, family-friendly, smoke-free and vegan-forward. 10 a.m., Lake Eola Park, North Rosalind Avenue and East Washington Street, cfearthday.org, free. — JL

Genitorturers
In early 1990s Central Florida, the Genitorturers were a band that went all in on the S&M thematics that most industrial bands only flirted with at the time, with the group’s leader/dominatrix Gen Vincent usually attired in full-on vinyl and/or leather and meting out punishment to the unworthy (or worthy, or everyone, really), alongside live piercings and other dark antics, against a sonic backdrop of heavy industrial metal. (A young Orlando Weekly remembers seeing a member of the band being “escorted” out by cops after their second-stage set at Lollapalooza.) Despite almost breaking through big with OTT performances and the still-lethal record 120 Days of Genitorturers, they never quite made a dent in a mainstream that desperately needed them. Vincent, a former and infamous WPRK DJ, has reconvened her shock troops for a “Scars and
Stripes” tour that hits Conduit on Easter eve, which makes us cackle at the endless possibilities of “… has risen” riffs. 7 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $25. — MM

Hands Across Tromerica
To think, Orlando is the site of two film festivals this weekend! While the Florida Film Festival continues strong at Enzian and Winter Park Village, the denizens of Tromaville descend on the Aloma Cinema Grill as part of their Hands Across Tromerica touring film festival. Troma, the roughand-tumble DIY studio helmed by Lloyd Kaufman that’s given us gems like The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke ’Em High, takes over the Aloma all day to screen newer additions to their oeuvre. That means a mere $35 will get you in to see the likes of Kill Dolly Kill, Curse of the Weredeer, Rise of the Super Tromettes and more. In addition, Troma ensemble player and diva Babette Bombshell and associated malcontents will make guest appearances. Noon, Aloma Cinema Grill, 2155 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, alomacinemaandgrill.com, $35. — MM

Lexa Gates
Riding high off a fall 2024 album release, Queensborn rapper Lexa Gates is now bringing her singular sound to Orlando. Gates, who’s just 24 years old and was co-signed by SZA last year, released debut album Order of Events in 2020 but has been making music since she was 17. Her latest album, Elite Vessel, was released in October 2024. That same month, she locked herself in a glass box in the middle of Manhattan’s Union Square as part of a 10-hour art installation to promote the project (with no shortage of intrigue and attitude, by the way). Gates brings her “Elite Vessel” mini-tour to the Social on Sunday, and

About a month ago, a large dog was spotted by our friends at the Orlando Police Department, lying down on the side of the road, shaking and injured. He had a collar on, and he was clean, so at some point he had belonged to someone. And at some point, his owners decided they didn’t want him anymore.
He was brought to our shelter, and we noticed two things right away. One, he was partially blind. Caramel Corn (A566423) would bump into things, then look up at us as if he were apologizing for his clumsiness. And two, Caramel is one of the sweetest dogs at our shelter. He’d obviously had a rough life, yet he greeted everyone he met with gentle head butts and soft heavy paws. Our vets estimate his age at 6 years old, but he may be older. He’s been with us for over a month and has only gotten sweeter and calmer. He doesn’t ask for much: a small treat, some pets, a soft place to lay his head. And for that, Caramel Corn gives his whole heart.
Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-8363111 or visit ocnetpets.com
