» Gov. DeSantis, Florida leaders respond to Charlie Kirk shooting Florida’s political leaders urged people to pray following news that conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot to death during a campus event in Utah last week. Gov. Ron DeSantis, opening an afternoon news conference in Miami the day after the shooting, said he and the First Lady Casey DeSantis have known Kirk for more than 10 years. “What happened today was not just an attack on Charlie personally, but, really an attack on the idea that we resolve these things through reason, debate and elections,” DeSantis said. Several Florida Democrats, including 2026 gubernatorial candidate David Jolly, also denounced politically motivated violence and called for thoughts and prayers. Kirk, the founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, toured the country appearing on university campuses to debate with people. He appeared at Florida State University, University of South Florida, University of Central Florida and the University of Florida in February.
» UCF received threats that ‘directly targeted’ Black students
The University of Central Florida sent an email to students last Thursday to share that the school received threatening messages that “directly targeted” Black students. The email, shared with Orlando Weekly, did not detail the threats received, but said UCF’s police department was actively investigating the threats along with the FBI. At the time the email was sent, UCF said it did not consider the threats to be credible. The email was sent to students just hours after UCFPD first announced a threat was made via social media just after 1 p.m. Thursday. Several historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) similarly said they received threats that same day and went under lockdown. The message came just a day after the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Kirk’s career as a political commentator had long been based on strong opposition to gun control, among other far-right conservative ideals.
» Some Florida sheriffs are no longer enforcing Florida’s open-carry ban
Following a decision last Wednesday by the Florida First District Court of Appeal striking the state’s ban on openly carrying firearms, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said his deputies will no longer enforce the ban — even though the law hasn’t changed yet. In a video message posted on X Wednesday night, Sheriff Ivey, a longtime advocate for the Legislature to pass an open-carry law, said that he had informed his deputies of the policy shift. The statute at issue (790.053) makes it “unlawful for any person to openly carry on or about his or her person any firearm or electric weapon or device.” The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office and the Pensacola Police Department will no longer enforce the state’s open carry law either, and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced it has informed officers that they cannot detain or arrest solely based on openly carrying a firearm. The ruling from the appeals court isn’t final until the 15-day window for a rehearing has run out, but the state likely won’t appeal the decision. Gov. Ron DeSantis advocated for the Legislature to change the ban on open carry, and Attorney General James Uthmeier said the court’s ruling was “a big win for the Second Amendment rights of Floridians.” The ruling is only applicable to the First District, which encompasses most of the counties in North Florida. Brevard County is not within that jurisdiction.
» Se7en Bites hosted a Pride parking space painting event Inspired by Orlando’s battle with the state over the formerly rainbow-painted Pulse memorial crosswalk, Se7en Bites owner Trina Gregory launched a free day-long event this past Monday, Sept. 15, dubbed Parking Spaces for Pride — A Rainbow Connection. Gregory’s project involved the opening of 49 of her restaurant’s private parking spaces to local artists (a reference to the 49 victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre), who were invited to transform the pavement into colorful art installations. Gregory emphasized the celebration was not intended to be a memorial to the Pulse tragedy, but said it was inspired by recent events. She said the spots will be repainted every other year. The event came amid controversy surrounding Orlando’s rainbow Pulse memorial crosswalk, which the Florida Department of Transportation painted over in late August. The crosswalk has remained a site of controversy as protesters, state lawmakers and local officials have gathered to re-color the crosswalk with chalk. At least four people have been arrested for taking chalk to the crosswalk despite warnings against “defacing” it.
» Orlando officials filed a request with the state to restore Pulse’s rainbow crosswalk
City officials have sent a letter to the Florida Department of Transportation seeking permission to restore the rainbow-colored crosswalk outside the former gay nightclub Pulse, the site of the 2016 mass shooting that killed 49. The letter was sent a week after the state agency painted over the crosswalk in what Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer described as a “cruel, political act.” State transportation officials claimed at the time that the painting over of the crosswalk was due to the enactment of a new department policy that aimed to ensure roadways “are not utilized for social, political, or ideological interests.”“The Original Design of the Pulse Crosswalk was created and installed in 2017 to honor and memorialize the 49 victims who lost their lives in the horrific attack, then the most deadly on United States soil, at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando,” Dyer wrote in a letter to FDOT, dated Aug. 28, 2025. “The Original Design was not intended to be, nor do we believe it to be any form of political speech, nor does it include any words or messages or symbols.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis,meanwhile, claimed at a news conference that the rainbow colors posed a safety hazard. Dyer’s letter stated the city is prepared to be “fully responsible” for funding the repainting and implementation of the crosswalk, should FDOT approve their request for an exemption from the new policy. Back in 2017, the paint job cost the city a reported $2,500.

Florida teachers union president slams intimidation after state threatens social media probe of teachers’ ‘despicable’ comments
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
The head of Florida’s statewide teachers union condemned what he described as doxxing efforts that have emerged online after Florida’s top education official threatened to investigate teachers for what they write on their personal social media pages.
“We certainly condemn anyone who makes inappropriate comments, who makes threats, who doxes individuals — all of that is inappropriate in a time when we need calm and we need to come together to solve challenges that so many families and so many communities face today,” Florida Education Association president Andrew Spar, a former music teacher, told Orlando Weekly. Florida Department of Education commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas, a right-wing appointee of Gov. Ron DeSantis, last Thursday issued a memo to school superintendents,
Turning Point USA, was gunned down last week during a college event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
The 31-year-old, who leaves behind a wife and two small children, was a controversial figure as a staunch Trump ally, a supporter of gun ownership rights and “traditional marriage,” and a political commentator who rallied younger generations to the right-wing MAGA movement.
“Teachers are held to a higher standard as public servants and must ensure their conduct does not undermine the trust of the students and families they serve,” Kamoutsas shared on X last Thursday, referencing allegations of comments made by teachers on social media.
“We will hold teachers who choose to make disgusting comments about the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk accountable,” he added. “Govern yourselves accordingly.”
The Florida Department of Education ignored Orlando Weekly’s request for examples of “despicable” comments made by teachers.
However, a department spokesperson told the Weekly that Kamoutsas “will use all of his power” to hold educators responsible for comments made online, including revoking their educator certificate.
“I think at the end of the day, teachers are held to a higher standard,” Spar agreed. “But that doesn’t mean someone gets to silence them.”
The Florida Education Association represents more than 120,000 teachers and school staff across Florida, a state that’s home to some of the largest school districts in the country.
It’s also a state that ranks near dead-last in average teacher pay, spends less per student than the national average, and has been a battleground for a host of education policies that have affected teachers’ working conditions and academic freedom.
“We know that educators in Florida have felt an enormous amount of stress and pressure over the last few years,” Spar pointed out. “We know that they continue to be burdened by archaic rules, as well as rules intended to limit the learning of our students. We know that this has led to a massive teacher and staff shortage in the state of Florida,” he said.
made it illegal for them to do so under state law. Even more, state lawmakers and Gov. DeSantis in recent years have advanced a costly school-privatization agenda, siphoning funding from public education to pad the pockets of private interests who are less accountable to anti-discrimination protections and other regulations that affect universal access to a quality, cost-free K-12 education.
As the investigative newsletter Seeking Rents recently reported, both charter school operators and billionaires like Ken Griffin have wielded the puppet strings in Tallahassee on this issue to get legislative leaders to fall in line.
Spar said teachers in Florida deserve due process when faced with accusations and investigations into their professional conduct by the state.
Due process, he explained, is looking at the evidence, speaking to the individual accused, gathering information from the person or people making the accusation, and then comparing all of that evidence and the circumstances surrounding that evidence to the professional practice code of ethics that teachers are held to in Florida.
Education commissioner Kamoutsas, described in his official government bio as a “conservative leader in all major education policy efforts,” was chosen by the state board of education earlier this year to replace former Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr., who left the job to lead the University of West Florida as interim president.
He stated in his memo last week that, while Florida educators do have free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution, “these rights do not extend without limit into their professional duties.”
What an educator posts online publicly, he argued, “may undermine the trust of the students and families that they serve.”
The memo states that Florida law allows Florida’s education commissioner “to find probable cause to discipline an educator who, ‘upon investigation, has been found guilty of personal conduct that seriously reduces that person’s effectiveness as an employee of the district school board.’”
warning that any teacher who makes “despicable” comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk could be in violation of professional conduct guidelines and would be

So far, at least one elementary school teacher in Clay County has reportedly been suspended over a social media post in which the teacher allegedly “celebrated”the death of Turning Point USA activist Kirk. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Clay County confirmed this suspension.
The teacher had reportedly posted on their personal social media page, in response to Kirk’s killing, “This may not be the obituary we were all hoping to wake up to, but this is a close second for me.”
Kirk himself, an ardent debater, was known in part for his controversial stance on gun control, another issue very close to the hearts of educators.
“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights,” Kirk argued at an event organized by TPUSA Faith, a division of Turning Point USA, in 2023.
“That is a prudent deal. It is rational,” he said. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

STAND TOGETHER OR FALL APART
Global Peace Film Festival brings Oscar-winning labor documentarian Barbara Kopple to Orlando
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
According to recent Gallup polling, public support for labor unions in the U.S. is at a near-record high, with 68 percent of U.S. adults voicing approval. And yet here in the Sunshine State, and the broader U.S. South, the percentage of workers who are actually represented by a union is dismally low. Although union representation has been linked to higher average income and greater access to benefits like paid time off, the power of Florida’s labor movement has been stunted by a decades-old policy agenda historically hostile to labor unions,
multiracial solidarity and basic worker rights, including Floridians’ right to a minimum wage and a right to safety on the job.
Still, history shows us that the so-called “nonunion” South isn’t immune to the power and solidarity of working people who are willing to fight (sometimes literally) for safe working conditions and fair pay on the job. For the 2025 Global Peace Film Festival, Academy Awardwinning director Barbara Kopple will bring her classic class-struggle documentary Harlan County, USA directly to an Orlando audience
paid leave and a pension. It ended shortly after a 22-year-old striking miner was murdered by a (non-union) mine supervisor, tragically leaving behind a 16-year-old widow and their baby. Notably, not only do the miners play a starring role in the film, but so too, do the miners’ wives, who organized around the notion that they didn’t want to see their husbands die from preventable diseases like black lung or underground in the mines. The group played a critical role in drumming up morale and making the miners’ fight a community fight. “The strikers … generally believe that the women — along with the $100 a week in strike benefits each worker gets from the [United Mine Workers] — have been the main reason that the strikers have been able to hold out so long,” the New York Times reported nine months into the strike in May 1974, noting that the women spoke of their “picket line skirmishes” with “a kind of revolutionary fervor.”
Kopple, who’s currently working on a new film, graciously agreed to an interview with Orlando Weekly to discuss the relevance of Harlan County, USA for today’s audiences, as well as Gumbo Coalition, a 2022 film of hers that will also screen at the Global Peace Film Festival. The GPFF, first established in 2003, will show 20 films from Sept. 16 through Sept. 21 at the Enzian Theater, Rollins College and the Winter Park Library. We have more details on the festival below. But first, our interview with Kopple herself: How did you get involved with the Global Peace Film Festival?
I have heard about the festival for years from my friend Nina Streich. She is the head of the festival, and a remarkable person. She is passionate about social justice films, and shows wonderful work there that ordinarily people outside big metropolitan areas would not get a chance to see. It is a space for community members to come together and discuss the issues that matter. I am honored to screen my work here. Why did this feel like the right year to bring Harlan County, USA and Gumbo Coalition to GPFF?
this week. The film, first released in 1976, offers a graphic, gritty and eye-opening depiction of a 13-month strike by Duke Power Company coal miners (a company we know today as Duke Energy) in Harlan County, Kentucky.
The film, a must-see for labor history buffs (like this reporter), documents the bitter 1973 miners’strike at Harlan County’s Brookside Mine. The strike began in part due to the utility’s failure to recognize the workers’ formation of their union, affiliated with the United Mine Workers, spurred by the draw of benefits such as healthcare,
Gumbo Coalition is about two dedicated civil rights leaders [Marc Morial and Janet Murguía] on the frontline of the fight for justice, which nowadays feels more urgent than ever. In this very polarized time, it is so important to understand different perspectives, to listen to each other and witness the hardships of so many in our communities. I hope that the leaders portrayed in the film and their strength and passion can inspire others to step up, speak out and help build a more equitable society.

[continued from page 11]
Harlan County, USA, too is so relevant, as unions have been rising up everywhere, from autoworkers to delivery workers to actors and screenwriters and fast food workers, to name just a few.
What lessons do you think workers in the South (including Florida) can take from Harlan County, USA today, nearly 50 years after its release?
In states like Florida, and in so many places across the country, union density is low but there is a huge need to protect workers. The people of Harlan County stood together, even in the hardest of times, and I hope this film shows others that they have strength in numbers, and that they can win even if the challenges seem insurmountable.
One lesson from the film is the role of women and families. They stand on the picket lines along with their husbands, keeping the spirit alive. It shows something very important in organizing: that it’s about families and communities that have your back. Broad solidarity is something we need everywhere, especially in places where immigrants and women are at the heart of the workforce.
What do you believe has changed in the South’s organizing landscape, and what hasn’t?
The landscape of work itself has changed, but the struggles remain the same. On the picket lines in Harlan County, people were shot at and intimidated. Today, companies hire union-busting firms to ensure the union’s progress will be stifled, and they pay these firms millions of dollars in exchange. But many unions are fighting back; while in Harlan County, our camera was there, nowadays workers use social media to organize and tell their own stories. Shedding light on injustice for me is often the first step to try to change it.
You were about 30 years old when this film was released, so I’m curious: What drew you to this story? And, for our readers who are similarly interested in film production, what were the biggest challenges you faced in filming and bringing this to the screen?
I heard about a coal miner named Arnold Miller, coming out of the coal mines and running for the election of the president of the United Mine Workers. He wanted to make big changes, he wanted to do something about black lung, mine safety, a decent wage, and he was running against [William Anthony] Tony Boyle, who was in collusion with the coal operators. I filmed Miller’s campaign; his promise was to organize the unorganized. In Eastern Kentucky, there was a strike and I wanted to see if he would make good on his promise to support the workers there.
Once I arrived in Eastern Kentucky and met the women and men on the picket lines, I became drawn into their lives, and ended up living there for 13 months. We were shot at with semi-automatic carbines, a coal miner was killed by a company foreman, and it was dangerous
— people lived and died by their guns. When I told my parents what was happening, my mother forbade me to stay there another day, but I told her I was only kidding. She said,“Don’t ever kid around like that again.” We also had no funding, and I had to use a credit card to try to make this film.
Orlando’s economy is dependent on our tourism industry, which employs about onethird of the region’s workforce. What do you think tourism workers, many of whom are low-wage and lack union representation, have in common with the workers and families featured in your film? What lessons can a local bartender, housekeeper or character performer take from this film?
The industries may be different, but the feelings of being undervalued, underpaid or easily fired, are much the same. In Harlan County, coal miners died from black lung disease. An activist recently told me her best friend died because she inhaled so much bleach cleaning other people’s homes, and her lung was damaged. When COVID hit, she died. There was no protection for her or her family, because she was not an employee, and undocumented.
But I have learned that even undocumented workers here [in New York] are organizing each other; some of them have fought in great numbers, together, to pass bills that protect even the most vulnerable workers, and they have had significant victories. Some of them organized … their own OSHA classes for newly arrived immigrants. This can be the first step of community-building, and a step towards eventual union representation.
What do you hope for a local audience here in Orlando, Florida (a state with one of the largest immigrant populations in the U.S.) to be able to take from your film Gumbo Coalition?
I hope people take away that whether you’re an immigrant, a young activist or someone who is really passionate about making change, that your voice matters, and that coalitions between people of different backgrounds can be powerful. I hope the audience leaves inspired and ready to take part in organizing and making something better.
Is there anything you can tell us about the project you are currently filming?
My new film is a portrait of modern labor today. Like with all my films, it’s about being close to people and their families, following workers as they move through very turbulent times. I always strive to show their resilience, dedication and the sheer hard work it takes to keep the movement alive.
Harlan County, USA screens at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19, at the Bush Auditorium at Rollins College. Gumbo Coalition screens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, also at the Bush Auditorium. Tickets are $10 each.

STORY OF THE EYE
Mauricio Murillo uses his photography to evoke what it’s like to be a Latino in America
BY GRAYSON KEGLOVIC
Mauricio Murillo’s photography is more than just collections of aesthetically pleasing images. His work tells his life story and provides a glimpse of what it’s like to be Latino in the United States.
Murillo, also known as Crummy Gummy, will display Soy de Aqui, his first solo exhibition in five years, on Thursday at CityArts for Hispanic Heritage Month. Soy de Aqui, which translates to “I’m from here,” is a mixed-media art exhibit that features portrait photographs of Murillo’s family and friends, but the roots of his work are much deeper than meets the eye.
“I want to be a voice for those who don’t have one, and immigrants are really being attacked in this country right now,” Murillo tells Orlando Weekly.“A lot of my work in this show speaks about that, as well as being proud of where I come from and my roots. It shows my personal experiences
as a Latino in America and the importance of standing together.”
A part of his show is Alligator Abductions, based on Alligator Alcatraz, the immigration detention center in South Florida. Alligator Abductions features old photos of Latin folks that have been altered by Murillo. He’s cut out the subjects’ faces and replaced them with the Mylar thermal blankets ubiquitous in detention centers.
“They’re also placed behind chicken wire. That’s a direct response to the atrocity that is Alligator Alcatraz,” Murillo says.“I never thought of my work as political but because of the world that we live in right now and because my work is a representation of me, it’s political by default. Just being brown in this country is political.”
Other photos have similar alterations using brown and black embroidery. He says that this alteration isn’t meant to obscure, but to elevate.
With several different shades covering the faces of the photos’ subjects, Murillo says “the various shades of the thread represent the beauty and diversity of life and the resilience of brown and Black skin.”
Thread has been a staple in Murillo’s art for years, and even that artistic choice has roots in his Colombian heritage. He says that many of the mixed-media elements incorporated into his photography are an ode to the sewing kits used by his mother and grandmother in his childhood.
“A lot of Latinos have a shared memory where our abuelas and our moms kept their sewing kits in one of those blue cookie cans [Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies], and there were never cookies in it — it’s always sewing materials,” Murillo says. “I incorporate threads or pins and things like that into the artwork to honor my family, and the years and years of traditions where this craft has been passed down and used to support families.”
When walking through the exhibition, viewers will note a grade-school photo that features a class of students and their teacher, a nun. This specific installation piece is inspired by Murillo’s mother and her childhood in Bogotá, Colombia.
“She went to an all-girls Catholic school that was run by nuns from Spain, and she hated it. She never said anything good about the school, and neither did her friends,” Murillo says. “There’s this story from her last day of school where my mom and her friends were able to stand up to Madre Carmen [Mother Carmen], one of the nuns they really did not like, and they made her cry. It was
almost like her way of fighting back after all of the years of trauma.”
As a child, Murillo has a distinct memory of being asked,“Where are you from?” Despite being born and raised in Orlando, he knew the question was never about what part of Florida he was from. He felt like he had to prove to others that he was not “some kind of exotic person,” but a human being. These microaggressions, along with other racism he experienced, are something that Murillo carried with him as he got older.
Soy de Aqui is meant to speak up for those who can’t and show that “we all come in different shades and colors and backgrounds and traditions,” Murillo says.
“I’m hoping that people who see the show will see the hope and resilience throughout,” Murillo concludes. “The work will connect with a lot of people who are probably frustrated with what’s going on, but we’re resilient people. Latinos will get through this and we don’t have to be silenced.” arts@orlandoweekly.com

Today, Zimmerman calls himself their company’s “Big Guy” and “Creative Consultant Extraordinaire,” producing and directing a variety of acts — from Gromalot Theatre Factory’s family-friendly Fringe favorites to “living statues” and boundary-pushing skits for major theme parks — but he recently took on an unexpected additional title: Season 29 champion of Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America. I interviewed Zimmerman about his diverse career.
When did your interest in clowning begin?
My mother used me as a prop on stage at about nine and a half months old, and I don’t remember but from all reports, I stole the show. And I’ve been searching out the applause since then, so that’s where the performing bug started.
To join the circus was my father’s passion, [and] throughout our lives growing up, he would take us to the Ringling show every time it came into town. When I got of college age and found out that they had a clown college, that love had a direction to channel it into a career.
Why leave the circus to settle in Orlando?
We both decided we wanted to know where the grocery stores were, so it was time to stop the full-time tour. Orlando was the decided home because we had been doing family entertainment for 10 years, and the home of family
entertainment in the United States [is] Orlando. That’s what drew us into the area; the theme parks and the incredible art scene and everything else. It felt like it was the place to be.
How did you come to be cast on Worst Cooks in America?
A friend tagged me in a casting on social media looking for clowns, and I submitted my clown headshot, not knowing what it was for. It literally was one of those random castings. So I submitted the headshot, and I got a call within about an hour going, “Hey, we love this, let’s set up a meeting with the producers.”
The first meeting, I still had no idea what I was interviewing for. I think at first, they just wanted to see if you’re not a crazy person, [or] the kind of crazy person they want. The joy of this particular show, and what spurred me to continue to talk to
them, was it’s a reality show, it’s a cooking show, but it’s got comedy at the heart of it. The editing portion of this show is super silly and super fun, and that’s where I felt like it was a good blend between my life as a clown and learning something new.
Were you afraid of being edited to look foolish on TV?
As a clown, if you can’t have a sense of humor about yourself, then you’re in the wrong business. … That’s where the clown’s job is: shining a light on the stupidity of society, holding a mirror up to people and saying, “Look, these are the stupid things that you do.” If we can’t laugh at ourselves, then we have no place being a clown. So that was part of my thought process, that they can edit this in any way that they want. I will be me, and if I look silly, we all need to laugh together about it.
What was your scariest moment filming the show?
They had a circus-themed episode, and when we walked in on circus day, that’s where my panic was, because I thought, “I cannot get eliminated on circus day …” If the clown goes home on circus day, I will never live it down with all of my circus friends.
How has winning Worst Cooks impacted your life?
I don’t feel like it’s changed a trajectory or had a major change. The grand prize of $25,000, I worked my butt off for it. I also watched someone else go on a game show and win $100,000 for one day of filming. We were there three and a half weeks and it was pretty intense, so I worked for that money.
I am cooking for my family now [and] there are higher expectations. The minute I got back, I proceeded to ruin an entire bag of potatoes trying to make mashed potatoes [because] they didn’t teach us that there’s a difference between coarse kosher salt and table salt.
So there’s still a humbleness, I still fail in the kitchen. But I don’t have any fear of stepping in and trying things out.

HI-HI, BIRDIE
North Quarter wine bar Sparrow gives you wings, thanks to chef Wendy Lopez and beverage director Lorena Castro
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Jason and Sue Chin have been flying high ever since their James Beard Award nomination for Outstanding Restaurateur earlier this year. And while losing out on the coveted accolade at the June affair in Chicago may have brought the duo back down to earth, the landing was brief. That’s because the Chins had just launched Sparrow in late May, and early indications were that their fledgling North Quarter wine bar was a total vibe.
A vibe? Hell, Sparrow’s an aura. Its mid-mod manner meshed with a sultry, after-dark aesthetic plays like a paean to nightclubs of the velvet-rope era. Makes quite the striking first impression, too. Then there’s “Rhonda,” a disco ball that glitzes things up when the moment strikes.“Our staff named it,” says Sue Chin.“They
said she reminded them of a ’70s showgirl.”
What really glitters, however, are a couple of girls who also put on a show: Reyes Mezcaleria and Sparrow chef-partner Wendy Lopez, who churns out dishes drawing on French, Italian, Portuguese and, of course, Spanish influence; and beverage director Lorena Castro, whose curated wine list reflects everything she loves most about wine. “For me, it’s a balance of fun, geeky and a little funky,” she says, “while at the same time respecting the classics.”
We certainly respected the 2023 “Palmberg,” a racy Riesling ($58) that accelerated the silky, earthy sweetness of a mushroom pâté ($12) fashioned from maitake, shiitake and oyster mushrooms splashed with madeira. We glougloued it with pan con tomate ($9) funked with

$$$
Manchego ($5) and silver-skinned boquerones ($5), as well as a puree of charred eggplant ($12) laid on a disc of pan frito topped with roasted red peppers, sweet onions and piparra peppers. And after an appreciably spicier dish — housemade lumache ($22), or snail pasta, smothered in vodka sauce and spiked with nduja and Calabrian chili — the bottle was all glugged out.
As far as the cocktail program, Castro’s aim is to “force people to drink more sherries and vermouths.” Which we did in the form of superb, olive- and piparra-pepper-brined martinis ($20) poured into a chilled glass served with “bird seeds” (a mix of spiced seeds and nuts) and highballs ($13) made with olive oil-washed gin, blanc vermouth and Manzanilla sherry. A suggestion: Sink into a leathered swivel chair in the middle of the restaurant (OK, wine bar) and sip on tipples while surveying the scene. It’s a preferred vantage point, even if those deep seats require extra effort to prop oneself up to eat. No matter, Lopez’s cooking makes the lean worth it, whether hovering over a hearty housemade rigatoni verde with short rib ragu ($24), or a sole meuniere ($42) prepared as Escoffier intended, or one of the best endive salads ($10) served in the city since Cheesecake Factory’s version 20 years ago.
It did, however, take a couple of tries to get the arroz negro with head-on prawns ($26) right. The Calasparra rice was, at first, startingly bland. But a re-done version was brought out later during our meal, and flavors of sofrito and seafood stock filled very kernel of the squid and cuttlefish-inked rice.
For some, the nine-seat bar may seem a bit tight, but I really like the snuggly seating. More so, I like starting my meal here with some slivers of jamon ($9) or slices of bluefin tuna and Faroe Island salmon crudo ($17) nested in chunky caper salsa verde before crossing the checkerboard floor to a table. Special thanks to general manager Nicole Peters and her staff for handling seat-shifting with aplomb. By the time desserts come around, Rhonda the Disco Ball is usually in full spangle, but I was dazzled by a gorgeous Basque cheesecake ($10) with Valencia orange, and an almond-sponge chocolate cake ($16) with a mirror glaze so glossy I could see myself eating it. A little birdy told me both are the work of Steve Brinkman, a guy who works the line at Reyes on some days and makes Sparrow’s desserts on others. Just another reason to put this restaurant (OK, OK, wine bar) on your regular rotation. So the next time you’re contemplating a chill spot to check out, let Sparrow flutter into your consciousness. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Platonic: Blue Moon Hotel — Turkish sisters fight over the wooing rights to a mysterious guest who’s checked himself into their hotel under an assumed name.

(Netflix)
Reasonable Doubt — The plot of Season 3 has L.A. lawyer Jax (Emayatzy Corinealdi) taking up the defense of a troubled former child star named Ozzie.

BREAKING BAD
The good
news is that Jon Breaks Bad News
headlines a night of music and laffs at Conduit, the bad news is … well, that depends on you
BY AZLYN CATO
Most everyone hates getting bad news. And we all hate being the bearers of bad news even more. But New York-based comedian Jon Breaks Bad News is more than willing to share others’ tough tidings — so that they don’t have to.
As part of his rather unique career, Jon (no last name because … read on) makes around 50 calls a day, two days a week, delivering unfortunate messages to a roster of digital strangers sourced from a “bad news request” box on his website. The calls take place during one of Jon’s weekly livestreams for both his large fanbase and the receiver of bad news to hear at the same time.
But before Jon became an internet sensation, with over 1 million followers on Instagram and TikTok, the inspiration for this strange vocation came after a few drinks, while he was editing an episode of a previous failed podcast.
“I just had always had the idea of doing a sketch where I was a doctor telling somebody that they had, like, a terminal prognosis,” he explains. “And then I kind of thought, what would it be like if there was just somebody out there that did that for everybody?”
After putting out a few ads for the concept, which Jon thought would just be a funny bit between him and his friends, it quickly snowballed into an overnight internet hit, with over 30,000 members joining his newly created “Jon Breaks Bad News” Facebook page.
And so it was that Jon made his very first call in 2019, for someone who had commissioned Jon to tell her friend that she had been impregnated by said friend’s boyfriend. Other notable moments from his early career include a Facebook post announcing “mission accomplished” after being hired to tell a child that his parents were getting divorced.
“People who know my show get very excited to talk to me, even if the bad news is pretty bad,” says Jon. “I’ve had a couple of people that were like, ‘Oh, wow. You know, that does kind of suck, but it was really great talking to you’.”
Jon takes these requests for free, like the good Samaritan he doubtless is, though you can tip him and be placed on an expedited call list. Jon tells Orlando Weekly that the key to his success lies in his ability to, for the most part, remain straight-faced, even when delivering unwelcome news in bizarre and unexpected situations.
“There have been a handful of situations where I wasn’t able to hold it together anymore,” remembers Jon. “There was a guy who recently had accidentally sent his brother a
video of himself pleasuring himself into a towel, and it was so embarrassing and absurd. I didn’t expect it at all, and I completely like … I just couldn’t stop laughing.”
Despite what should be a deeply unpopular role as the bearer of bad news, Jon has actually racked up a sizable and loyal fanbase on Twitch and TikTok. He says the best part of his journey to fame has been getting recognized in public by fans from other countries who want to take pictures with him and just chat.
Yet not everyone is fond of Jon, or his work. After some tense phone calls, some bad-news recipients have threatened to trace his phone number, stab him or call the cops, and he’s even been contacted by detectives more than once. Although all of these turned out to be shoot-the-messenger situations, Jon says that he has started to look over his shoulder a little bit more.
“There are tons of people that don’t like what I’m doing. There are tons of people that don’t like how I look,” he says. “You know, I get a lot of ‘get out of your mom’s basement’ comments. The funny part about that is, I’m 35, married with two kids, so I’m far from my mother’s basement.”
This very week, Jon will make calls live from the stage for the very first time right here in Florida, at Conduit on Friday. He says he’d always thought about doing a live show, and when the opportunity recently presented itself, he decided to take the plunge.
Although his wife — also his producer — won’t be able to attend the upcoming Florida shows, Jon says his best friend and co-host, Ron, will be there to provide some onstage banter in between calls. And as part of the show, wry Orlando punks The Fatties (they of “No Sex With Cops” fame) will open, whom Jon says he’s excited to be working with.
Despite jitters over trying out his act in a completely new way, Jon feels good about it. “The show is going to be extremely interactive. The crowd is going to be part of the show. The calls are going to be generated from the actual audience. So if you come to the show and you have some bad news that you want broken, I will do it for you, right then and there. We’re gonna have like a little grab box that you could put your call submission in, and then I’ll be pulling those submissions from the box throughout the show and calling them right out of the box.”
So think outside the box for your Friday night on the town, and try this show out.

LOCAL RELEASES
After suddenly reemerging in January with his first new song in 13 years, venerable Orlando post-pop artist Sean Moore is just about to make his full, and full-length, return this weekend. On Sept. 19, his new solo album — the 14-song The Silent Architect LP — will be unveiled both on streaming and in concert.
After all this time, Moore still has much to say and show. In fact, he’s mapped out a seeming lifetime on The Silent Architect. Since the 2012 release of Moore’s last album, some of his biggest loves and losses have occurred. From building family (“For Lillian” and “Bennett Maxwell” are odes to his children) to losing family (“Mother” is an elegy for his mom), and a lot in between, this new album memorializes it all.
“I have since learned to love the things that once destroyed me,” says Moore.“For after destruction comes creation … reinvention. It is through all of this that The Silent Architect was born.”
The product of a classically trained musician with avant-garde pop sensibilities, Moore’s sound is still a space unto itself. The difference is the centered finesse at play here. The arrangements
over the collection. Like a lucid dream, the soundscape is an interplay of crystalline notes and auras that happens between states of consciousness. It’s a snowglobe of free-floating meditations, divine Beach Boys-esque harmonies, Stereolablike excursions and twilight orbits. With some of his most judicious craftsmanship to date, it’s a finespun album that awes with beauty rather than impresses with minutiae.
The Silent Architect is as much a notable historical return as it is a musical and emotional milestone. Moore says, “My solo output has always been personal, but never this direct.”
On Friday, The Silent Architect will be available on both streaming platforms and limited-edition cassette via Illuminated Paths. That very night, there will be a release show where Sean Moore will perform alongside excellent local openers Jonas Van den Bossche and Hesitant Waitress (6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19, Casselberry Arts Center, donations suggested).
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Battle of the Cover Bands Part 2: Band battles and cover bands. Individually, they’re eye-rolling enough. Put ’em together and that’s a special realm of hell. Well, except if Orlando promoter Ugly Orange is involved. This edition features some of the city’s top indie names mixing it up to cover an interesting list of artists.
Specifically, there’ll be TV Dinner as The Cranberries, Thrullian Father (members of Thrull, Gillian Carter, Like Father) as Stone Temple Pilots, Hoster’s Only Son (Roger’s Only Son & Hoster) as Elliott Smith, Margo Maybach Supergroup as The Strokes, Adam Harris as Randy Newman and Porch Coffin as the timely Oasis. Winner gets studio time, cash and eternal shit-talking rights. Partial proceeds go to Orlando Girls Rock Camp and Central Florida Public Media. In other words, everyone wins.

Venerable Orlando postpop artist Sean Moore’s artistry has often been intensely esoteric, but his new album, The Silent Architect, is a welcoming listen even in its adventurism.
are symphonic but seldom florid, the moods dramatic but not overwrought, and the movements whimsical but not willful. While Moore’s artistry has often been intensely esoteric, this album remains welcoming even in its adventurism. Whether it’s from the time or the wisdom of the years, the extra gestation shows on The Silent Architect. There’s a patient splendor that reigns

Sleep Token
Mysterious Brit metal ensemble Sleep Token are laying waste to arenas around the country on tour this summer, and one of the first dates will be in Orlando. The band’s Even in Arcadia tour opened in Georgia yesterday before careening straight into Orlando Wednesday. This is the masked and mysterious (think Sauron from Lord of the Rings in terms of dress code) band’s only Florida show. They have a devoted fanbase second only to Juggalos and Dylanologists in obsessive ardor, up to and including dressing like the band and combing through lyrics and visual themes for hidden meanings. It’s a night for the faithful to commune, and there’s way more of them than you might think. 8 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, SOLD OUT. — Matthew Moyer

Orlando Mural Festival
The Orlando Mural Festival promises to transform downtown into a vibrant live large-scale painting this week. Amid the current war on public art by the DeSantis administration, the festival pushes back, creating a safe place for creative expression.

Participating muralists include Sabrina Shumaker, Kellie Delaney, Gabriel da Silva, Tracie Harris Thompson, Kira Gondeck-Silvia, Stemberger, Mac De Sol and more. Live art actions come courtesy of Alexis Collum, MaryCruz Ruiz, Ben Keller, Tatiana Khalil and other worthies.

Hong Kong Cinema Classics
Maitland’s Enzian Theater kicks off two weeks of two-fisted classic Asian cinema spanning 1986-1992 dubbed Hong Kong Cinema Classics. On offer is fare from titans of the filmic game like Ringo Liam, Hark Tsui, Siu-Tung Ching and more John Woo gun fu than you can shake an extremely stylish pair of sunglasses at. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I’d love to binge all the films in the A Better Tomorrow and Chinese Ghost Story series on the big screen like a true champ,” this fest has you covered. With iconic one-offs like The Killer, Peking Opera Blues, City on Fire and Bullet in the Head also on the menu, this will be an utterly unhinged couple of weeks. Enzian Theater, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, enzian.org, $11$99.99. — MM

Peace Day in the Park
There are those who posit that the death of David Bowie began the unraveling of our current timeline. We would instead posit that maybe it was a few years further back when public television icon, Rollins alum and rare good person Fred “Mr.” Rogers left us in 2003. Summon up some of Rogers’ spirit of acceptance and tolerance this weekend at Peace Day in the Park in downtown Winter Park. The day features activities and storytelling for all ages, civic organizations tabling, and live performances from Will Patrick, the Orlando Gay Chorus and African drumming. Most exciting is an appearance from star of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and current Neighborhood steward Daniel Tiger. Get starstruck. 9 a.m., Central Park, North Park Avenue and West Morse Boulevard, Winter Park, peacejusticeinstitute.org, free. — MM

G Flip
Singer, songwriter and producer — the trifecta!! — G Flip takes a “dream ride” to the Plaza Live as part of their latest U.S. tour. The non-binary and queer popstar in the making is living out their wildest pop dreams as a modern “Butch Springsteen” (upon reading this we’re deceased, a ghost is now finishing this article) on the strength of the ’80s-riffic anthems that populate latest album Dream Ride. “I’m really excited to go on tour and see my trans community and my non-binary community, my allies, and the whole LGBTQIA+ fam,” G Flip told Billboard. “I’m so excited to get out there and preach how beautiful and wonderful we are and how needed we are in this world.” The artist also promises sax solos and drum solos — the full Phil Collins, in other words. 8 p.m., The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $58-$154. — MM

Cliff Cash
Comedian Cliff Cash tours through Orlando this week — not at Funnybone or Bonkerz, but at Will’s Pub? What, as legions of hacky stand-up contenders used to query, is the deal with that?
WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY, SEPT. 17-23, 2025
We’re intrigued by taking stand-up out of comedy clubs now and again to reel in new converts, and Will’s seems a natural fit for Cash, who has been praised as “the comedic voice of the new South,” challenging paradigms and dogma with a progressive bent. (So no, you will not hear Cash’s spin on “You might be a redneck if …”.) Southern
voices like this, not faux good ol’ boys, need to be encouraged. Opening the evening will be Larry Fulford, host of “What Do You Want From Us” and wielder of a gallows-humor, Hicksian style of stand-up. 7:30 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, SOLD OUT. — MM
