Readers react to blog posts and stories from the July 25 issue. On July 30, we reported that Gov. Rick Scott, the wealthiest governor in Florida history, filed a financial disclosure as part of his campaign for the U.S. Senate that showed a December 2017 net worth of $232 million. But the details were scant, including the shielded investments in a $215 million blind trust, which rose by more than $80 million from the previous year and produced $120 million in income. Scott said he had placed his finances in a blind trust, which is allowed under state law and do not have to be reported, to distance any of his decisions as governor from personal investments. @Warren Forest This is what happens when you let a fox in the henhouse. Why isn’t this crook in jail? @Pavl Escova Assets controlled by a spouse are in no way blind. It’s not even good asset protection.
@Alex Romanoski Spends eight years as governor, runs his current campaign “against career politicians.” Um, right. On July 27, we published a story about a study commissioned by local downtown businesses and churches to better understand the homeless and panhandling population in Orlando. The study, set to launch in September, will cost roughly $75,000 and will seek to answer two primary questions: How many homeless panhandlers are currently residing in Orlando? And how do they spend their money? @Nico Lucido Food, shelter, clothes, their families, alcohol, drugs. Now pay me $75,000. @Mark Hollamon Booze, drugs, food. Easiest $75K I’ve ever made. @JH Kendall Someone should spend $75K on finding out why there will be a study spending $75K on trying to find out how panhandlers spend money. @John Grooms That money would have been better spent helping the homeless.

Welcome to Orlando Weekly’s latest semi-regular column, a scatter graph where we rank Sunshine State pols’ behavior each week. Candidate making crowd-savvy moves? Elected official got a case of foot-inmouth disease? Read about it here.
REAL ESTATE INVESTOR JEFF GREENE: Look at this guy, just throwing his weight around – and by weight we mean money. Now in third place in the Democratic field for Florida governor after entering the race less than two months ago, Greene has spent more than $10 million of his own money on the campaign, which feels a lot like a billionaire buying his way in. But we have to give it to him: Anyone who pisses off Florida gun lobbyist Marion Hammer – the way Greene did with his campaign’s latest mailer that accused the NRA of turning “our kids into targets” – has earned a bit of affection in our stone-cold progressive hearts.
FORMER MIAMI BEACH MAYOR PHILIP LEVINE: Last week, UNITE HERE, the hospitality union representing more than 30,000 Florida workers, including 23,000 at Disney World, endorsed Levine for governor in the upcoming Democratic primary. In Orlando-speak, that’s pretty damn significant – and it could also account for a major bump to Levine’s campaign as former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham has taken the primary’s lead, according to some of the latest polling.
U.S. REP. RON DESANTIS: We present to you (drumroll, please) the infamous Trump Bump. Yep, there’s no doubt about it – DeSantis is surging in the GOP gubernatorial primary polls over Agriculture Commissioner and (of late) conservative screw-up Adam Putnam, and it’s in large part thanks to how DeSantis has cuddled up to the blowhardin-chief, President Donald Trump. Take Trump’s campaign-style rally in Tampa earlier this week, at which Trump sang DeSantis’ praises in between bouts of selfpromotional narcissism, as an instructive example.
FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI: Who, me? Last week, after CNN released a recording of a call between Trump and his former personal attorney in which the two were discussing one of Trump’s alleged affairs, the name “Pam” popped up in the audio. Though Bondi denied the mention was of her, a controversial contribution to her political committee a few years back has managed to wrangle its way back into the conversation – in 2013, a state fraud investigation into the then-defunct Trump University somehow went away after Trump contributed $25,000 to Bondi’s political committee. How strange.

Bill Nelson calls for investigation into SunPass operator, SunRail opens four new stops, Disney plans to ban plastic straws and other news you may have missed last week. »
Nelson calls for a federal probe into SunPass contractor Conduent: U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson called on the Federal Trade Commission to
investigate Conduent State & Local Solutions, the troubled vendor responsible for the upgrade to the SunPass system that has caused a backlog of 170 million unprocessed transactions. In a letter sent to FTC chairman Joseph Simons, Nelson and Michigan Sen. Gary Peters accused Conduent of violating federal laws that prohibit unfair and deceptive trade practices. “Conduent’s pattern of mismanaging cashless toll systems is deeply troubling and warrants further scrutiny,” the letter said. “If drivers are being hurt financially, the FTC should hold the company accountable and prevent it from doing further harm.” Florida transportation officials have said they will halt payments to Conduent for the $287 million upgrade.

Paulson resigns from Republican post following charity scandal: Orange County Republican State Committeeman Paul Paulson
resigned from his post after a federal lawsuit accused the former Orlando mayoral candidate of running his nonprofit as a “sham charity.” Help the Vets Inc. received $11 million between 2014 and 2016 from donors to aid wounded and disabled military veterans, but six states alleged the contributions almost entirely benefited Paulson and the for-profit fundraisers he hired. Paulson agreed to pay $1.75 million to legitimate veterans charities as part of a settlement agreement before the lawsuit was filed. Paulson resigned after GOP state chair Blaise Ingoglia and other Orange County Republicans called on him to step down.

Judge strikes down Florida’s early voting ban on college campuses: U.S. District Judge Mark Walker struck down as unconstitutional a ban imposed by Gov. Rick Scott’s administration on early voting on college and university campuses. In his ruling, Walker called the prohibition “discriminatory” and said the state’s ban has “the effect of creating a secondary class of voters who defendant [the state] prohibits from even seeking early voting sites in dense, centralized locations where they work, study, and, in many cases, live. This effect alone is constitutionally untenable.” The lawsuit was filed by six students from the University of Florida and Florida State University; the League of Women Voters of Florida; and the Adam Goodman Foundation.

The Federal Farm Bill could make hemp farming legal, but in the meantime, Big Pharma and the FDA have quietly moved in on hemp’s extractable product, CBD. In Colorado, the leading edge of marijuana and hemp legalization in the U.S., small business owners and MMJ activists wait anxiously to see which way the wind will blow BY JAKE A LT I N G ER

A
nyone even vaguely familiar with cannabis law knows it’s fraught with complications and contradictions. Now, in light of recent legal developments, the legal status of cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, the non-psychoactive medicinal compound derived from cannabis, has never been hazier. The federal farm bill being considered by Congress could legalize hemp – the Senate version passed 86-11 on June 28 does, but the House version passed June 21 doesn’t mention hemp at all. The two versions will have to be reconciled before the bill can go to the Oval Office for President Donald Trump’s signature. But, when combined with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first-ever pharmaceutical drug containing CBD, the farm bill may actually pave the way for Big Pharma to take over the CBD market – and the rest of the medical marijuana market – nationwide.
On
June
25,
the
FDA
approved London-based GW Pharma’s Epidiolex, a drug containing CBD as its active ingredient, to treat two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, in patients 2 years old and older. On the surface, that may seem like a victory for medical marijuana advocacy but, in reality, it only further muddies the legal status of CBD. In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the FDA considers any product for human consumption containing the active ingredient (e.g., CBD) of an FDAapproved pharmaceutical drug (e.g., Epidiolex) to be “adulterated and misbranded,” according to a Q&A posted on the FDA website. “There is an exception,” the FDA Q&A states, “if the substance was ‘marketed as’ a dietary supplement or as a conventional food before the drug was approved. … However, based on available evidence, FDA has concluded that this is not the case for THC or CBD. … Interested parties may present the agency with any evidence that they think has bearing on this issue.” Jonathan Miller, lead counsel for the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, a coalition of dozens of hemp companies and one of many hemp industry lobbying groups, says he’s been gathering such evidence and hopes to change the agency’s mind. But for the time being, the FDA’s press release announcing the approval of Epidiolex made it clear they aren’t backing down from that position. “[W]e are prepared to take action when we see the illegal marketing of
CBD-containing products with serious, unproven medical claims,” it reads in part. “Marketing unapproved products, with uncertain dosages and formulations, can keep patients from accessing appropriate, recognized therapies to treat serious and even fatal diseases.” In fact, Stanley Brothers, the Colorado cannabis company best known for their high-CBD cannabis strain, Charlotte’s Web, credited with helping children control seizures when conventional pharmaceuticals failed, received a warning letter from the FDA last year regarding the medical claims made about their CBD products. Stanley Brothers is one of the member companies represented by the Roundtable. Now that Epidiolex has been approved, the FDA will prepare a “medical and scientific analysis” of the new drug for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, which may then choose to move CBD from Schedule I in the Controlled Substances List to Schedule II-V, meaning only pharmaceutical companies, doctors and pharmacists will be allowed to legally produce, prescribe and distribute CBD, respectively, in compliance with federal law. Every step of the process would have to comply with FDA standards, and everyone in the supply chain (growers, extractors, retailers, etc.) would have to be registered with the DEA. The DEA could also choose to create a new drug code exclusively for Epidiolex under Schedule II-V, DEA spokesperson Barbara Carreno explains, leaving all other forms of CBD just as federally illegal as they are now. That’s how the DEA chose to deal with Marinol, an FDA-approved drug containing synthetic THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, and it could do the same with any other cannabis-based drugs the FDA approves in the future. Carreno says, “There is precedent for regulating various compounds derived from the same plant differently,” noting the various opioids derived from poppies range from heroin in Schedule I to oxycodone and morphine in Schedule II to codeine cough syrups in Schedule V. The only thing that’s certain is that Epidiolex will not go in Schedule I, because the FDA has confirmed that it has medical uses. Controlled substances in Schedule II through V are classified according to their risk of abuse and overdose, with Schedule II having the highest risk and V having the least. But Colorado hemp farmer and activist Veronica Carpio believes the FDA approval of Epidiolex could give
the federal government the strongest legal grounds yet to justify a crackdown on CBD (and cannabis in general) while simultaneously laying the groundwork for Big Pharma to take over the medical marijuana industry nationwide. According to Justia.com, which makes legal records available to the public, U.K. pharmaceutical company GW also holds roughly 100 patents related to the medical efficacy of cannabis, covering cannabinoid extraction processes, cannabinoid placebos, dispensing mechanisms for cannabinoid drugs, and a range of cannabinoid-based drug formulas used to treat almost everything under the sun, including schizophrenia, mood disorders, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, psychosis, bone disorders, inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g., Crohn’s disease), tumors, bulimia, obesity and several types of cancer. Each patent potentially provides another legal avenue for GW to shut down its competitors already operating legally. Industry website the Cannabist reports, “Forecasts have put Epidiolex’s peak annual sales between $1 billion and $3 billion.” Epidiolex is expected to cost between $2,500 and $5,000 per month, according to analysts consulted by the New York Times, yet Colorado medicinal hemp farmer Jan VanDenBerg says her products could deliver the same dosage of CBD for roughly a tenth of those prices. Unlike other CBD and MMJ products, however, Epidiolex may be covered by private health insurance – but the ever-rising costs of insurance may only create another barrier to access. Fortunately for Colorado’s CBD businesses, the Colorado Hemp Foods Bill was signed into law earlier this year, and it takes the exact opposite position of the FDA, asserting explicitly that CBD is a dietary ingredient and products containing it should be regulated as food products. Carpio, who helped draft and advocate for the bill, says it could be a turnkey solution for all the other states (like Florida, if we ever get there) to protect their CBD markets from the feds. Defense attorney and first chair of the Colorado Bar Association’s Cannabis Law Committee Lenny Frieling says the law may protect Colorado from an FDA or DEA crackdown on CBD on the basis of states’ rights, but it could take a lawsuit, or several, to finally sort it out. The difference between regulating CBD as a drug or a food is a massive one for farmers. Folium Biosciences spokesperson Juanita Ramos helped
The FDA goahead could lay the groundwork for Big Pharma to take over.

advocate for the Hemp Foods Bill and agrees with Carpio that CBD should be regulated as a food product, but Folium’s leadership is prepared for any eventuality. “All we can do is keep our heads down and keep doing what we do,” she says. “We’re concentrating on those kids and people who need [CBD].” All the farmers we interviewed agree that, rather than being put in a new drug schedule, CBD should be removed from the list of Controlled Substances entirely because it carries little to no risk of abuse or overdose. “Descheduling will really open it up to anyone who wants to participate, and they wouldn’t have burdensome requirements that they have to follow because it will be treated as a regular agricultural crop,” Luke Johnson, CEO of Cloud CO Farms in Alamosa, Colorado, says. “That would finally allow farmers and producers to operate in a more fair and competitive landscape to all the international people that we compete with currently.” Johnson hopes the upcoming farm bill will accomplish just that. The Senate version of the bill contains an amendment to federally legalize hemp proposed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. “I have heard from many Kentucky farmers who agree it’s time to remove the federal hurdles and give our state the opportunity to seize its full potential and once again become the national leader for hemp production. That is why I strongly advocated for this measure to be included in the Farm Bill,” McConnell said in a statement after the farm bill passed the Senate. Technically, McConnell’s amendment removes “hemp” from the definition of “marihuana” in the Controlled Substances Act, and defines hemp as “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” The Hemp Roundtable’s Miller and Colleen Lanier, a spokesperson for the Hemp Industries Association, another trade group, believe that language should be sufficient to protect all hemp-derived CBD products from federal interference. Carpio disagrees, however, pointing out a paragraph of the amendment added in committee: “(b) EFFECT ON
OTHER LAW. Nothing in this subtitle shall affect or modify (1) the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.); or (2) the authority of the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and the Secretary of Health and Human Services under that Act.” Combined with the approval of Epidiolex, Carpio says that paragraph turns the bill from a victory gift for the CBD industry into a Trojan Horse. Defense attorney and first chair of the Colorado Bar Association’s Cannabis Law Committee Frieling agrees with Carpio’s interpretation of that paragraph, but says it’s impossible to know exactly how the FDA will go about enforcing the FD&C Act in regard to CBD. Miller, an attorney, believes the FDA’s enforcement efforts regarding CBD will only be focused on companies making unproven medical claims about their products, which he fully supports, rather than a full-blown crackdown. “I just don’t see the FDA getting into that battleground,” Miller says. He believes there should be two paths available for consumers to access CBD – as a pharmaceutical drug or as an over-the-counter food product or supplement – and if the FDA tries to block the latter path, he and the Roundtable will be prepared to sue. But Carpio says the FDA wouldn’t have to crack down on, nor would GW have to sue, every company making CBD products – going after a few big companies, like Stanley Brothers, could be enough to scare off smaller ones that can’t afford to get tied up in litigation.
“This is going to change
people’s lives for the better everywhere,” Dani Billings, a hemp farmer and co-founder of the Colorado Hemp Project, says. Billings believes, if federally legalized, hemp could be the crop that brings success and stability back to family farms across the country, especially because of its versatility. Hemp can be used to produce everything from biodegradable plastics and building materials to textiles and rope to food, medicine and biofuels. “This plant is here to do good – to be a positive conscious force,” Billings says. “Everybody has health issues. Everybody needs houses. Everybody needs clothes, and everybody needs food. And this plant can take care of all of that. Once this plant has an opportunity to touch people’s lives, Lord does it make a change.” Billings was one of the first Colorado farmers to begin growing hemp after
the 2014 farm bill authorized states to create industrial hemp programs for research. Today, over 40 states, including Florida, have passed legislation creating such programs – 19 are now actually producing hemp, according to Lanier at the Hemp Industries Association. Hemp became legal to grow in Florida in July 2017. According to Robert Gilbert, professor and chairman of the agronomy department at the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, the plant has not been legally grown in the state since before World War II. The Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services passed its permitting process on April 12 of this year, and UF-IFAS researchers are now set to launch a pilot program to help the state develop the industry. Despite hemp’s relative success, because of its Schedule I status, those in the industry still face unique challenges and restrictions. Billings and Johnson say they have been denied banking services and credit card processing, had multiple bank accounts shut down on them, and they pay extra for the accounts they do have because they are considered high-risk. Plus, nothing they grow, produce or sell can cross state lines or they risk having it seized by the DEA. All this for a plant that doesn’t get you high. Perhaps the most important benefit hemp farmers will receive if the Senate’s farm bill becomes law is access to federal crop insurance. Billings says hail storms have already destroyed one of her family’s greenhouses and several acres of their hemp crops this year, and without crop insurance all of that is simply time wasted and money lost. That heightened economic risk alone deters farmers from growing hemp and inhibits the industry’s growth substantially. The Hemp Industries Association’s Lanier says that the industrial hemp sector will expand dramatically if McConnell’s amendment becomes law, which could be a massive boon for the economy. As the House and Senate hash out the final version of the farm bill and the DEA awaits the FDA’s report, the entire cannabis industry, from farmers and retailers to patients and consumers, braces for impact, hopeful the politicians and bureaucrats will act in their favor. “My prayer is that our leaders will understand that not only is this good for the economy and job creation,” says Ramos, “it’s also good for humanity.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

BY SETH KUBERSKY THE CAST OF WINTER PARK PLAYHOUSE’S ‘GIGOLO’ | PHOTO BY MATT CAIRNS
Jukebox musicals are still multi- wait for an inspiration, which is the luxury plying like rabbits on Broadway, but even a promising play full of legendary songs can languish on the shelf without a producer’s support. That helps explain why Paul Gilger, who conceived Gigolo: The New Cole Porter Revue, was so emotionally overwhelmed when we spoke on Friday night following his show’s premiere at Winter Park Playhouse. “I can hardly put it into words,” Gilger gushed as the opening night crowd dispersed. “I am totally in debt to the Playhouse and to Orlando. I never dreamed that the show could be what I saw tonight.” Gigolo, the first alumnus of Winter Park Playhouse’s Florida Festival of New Musicals to get a full production, opened the theater’s 2018-2019 season. (It runs through Aug. 19; call 407-645-0145 or visit
Winter Park Playhouse’s Gigolo is more than just a “park and bark” cabaret – it’s essentially a sung-through Cole Porter opera. winterparkplayhouse.org for tickets.) But its journey actually began back in 2012, when Gilger – an architect by trade who designs stage sets on the side – was given one week to assemble a Cole Porter benefit concert for the 6th Street Playhouse in Santa Rosa, California. “Usually I’m not the kind of writer to write on commission,” Gilger says. “I tend to
of not having theater as my vocation.” Gilger found that inspiration in The Last Playboy, Shawn Levy’s biography of Porfirio “Rubi” Rubirosa, the notorious playboy who wedded five women (including heiresses Doris Duke and Barbara Hutton) and was supposedly author Ian Fleming’s model for James Bond. “I had that epiphany moment. I’m literally in bed and couldn’t sleep, so I’d been reading this book … It turns out Porfirio played guitar, and used to sing a song called ‘I’m a Gigolo.’ I saw that in the book and sat bolt upright in bed.” Though Rubi’s real-life story provided the seed of his script’s storyline, Gilger emphasizes that “even though it’s inspired by Rubirosa, this is a Cole Porter revue. … I want people to leave the show talking about Cole Porter and his lyrics.” He deliberately omitted Rubi’s tragic end in a car wreck because, he says, “We don’t need dark endings right now.” Paul also admits that he isn’t a Porter expert, but says that worked to his advantage: “I’d only seen Kiss Me Kate and Anything Goes. … I didn’t have all of the Cole Porter in my head to hold me back – sometimes if you know too much about something you get stalled in the details.” The pairing of Porter and the playboy earned a positive reception in its initial incarnations, including a 2013 outdoor concert at Francis Ford Coppola’s winery. But the promising play went dormant until after Winter Park Playhouse successfully produced Gilger’s Jerry Herman revue, Showtune, in 2016, and asked him for another script. In Winter Park’s world-premiere production, Zach Nadolski plays the titular
Lothario who woos a trio of wealthy women – a Manhattan socialite (Melissa Minyard), a Hollywood starlet (Kelly Morris Rowan) and a European countess (Natalie Cordone) – before falling for the new girl in town (Alyssa Flowers). It’s no surprise that this exceptionally talented cast can articulate every syllable of standards like “You’re the Top” and “Let’s Do It” with flawless intonation. But what makes this effervescent show so entertaining is that the performers don’t merely sing the songs, but act out every moment. Gilger credits director-choreographer Roy Alan with transforming Gigolo from a “park and bark” casual cabaret into a sung-through Broadway musical that is essentially a Cole Porter opera. “He’s very rare. There are few really great choreographer-directors,” Paul says, comparing Alan to Tommy Tune and Bob Fosse for his mastery of storytelling through movement. Winter Park Playhouse also lives up to its reputation for professionalism with Gigolo’s polished production values, from Daniel Cooksley and Cameron Gagne’s Art Deco decor to Seth Schrager and Angelica Rose Trombo’s sequin-tastic costumes. Most importantly, musical director Christopher Leavy and orchestrator-instrumentalist Ned Wilkinson (who blows a mean horn as “Gabriel” in the show’s joyous finale) allow Porter’s timeless tunes to speak for themselves without unnecessary embellishment; as Gilger told me, “These 26 songs are jewels, and I feel a responsibility to present the songs as he would have.” Porter’s melodies may be immortal, but lyrics about “appetizing young love for sale” can seem dated (to say the least) in today’s #MeToo environment. While he concedes that “this may not be the most politically correct show on the planet,” Gilger contends that Rubi was actually an early male feminist who ran counter to his abusive machismo-centric culture. “I love powerful women, and if you look at the women he was with, they were all very powerful. They were nobody’s fool, and they turned the tables,” says Gilger. “For me, the women are in control, and that’s what I tried to convey in the piece.” Now that Gigolo has opened, Gilger says he has two goals for the show. The first is “to respect Cole Porter … I want people to feel like they’re actually watching a Cole Porter musical that he would have been part of.” The second is for Winter Park Playhouse to “make so much money off this show that they can buy their own theater. They so deserve to get rid of that mortgage that hangs over their head, and I’ll do everything I can to help.” It’s too soon to speak on the latter, but as for the former, the skies were full of thunder throughout Friday’s debut performance; it’s not hard to imagine Porter was applauding from the great beyond. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

stop us from separately ordering thinly sliced and mild Japanese goatfish ($4.50) along with an indulgence of bluefin otoro ($6.50), again glitzed and glammed with gold leaf. We took a breather from the showy start and sipped an aged junmai daiginjo sake from Tenryo Koshu ($30) and Hitachino’s yuzu lager ($8). Both seemed to beg for a dish more peppery, so it’s lucky for us a spicy miso ramen ($14) appeared on the menu as a special. The pork bone essence of the broth was liquid comfort; the pork belly not as melt-inyour-mouth as we’d hoped; and the egg more hard-boiled than soft-boiled. While the ramen did satisfy our need for heat, another special – takoyaki ($9) – caught our eye, and the delicately fried octopus dumplings proffered revelatory pops. The hushpuppy-like outer texture enveloped a filling that was custardy-good. More octopus came in the form of a refreshing sunomono salad ($8) – it was more a deconstructed sunomono salad – with seaweed, cucumber and yuzu-anointed octopus each occupying separate areas on the serving plate. Desserts like red-bean, black-sesame and strawberry mochi ($5) or tempura cheesecake ($8) were all fine and well, but they weren’t exactly the most creative endings. No gold leaf? I mean, c’mon! Kidding aside, I wouldn’t put it past Wong and Hunter to up their confection game – it seems that, in Casselberry, where there’s a Wa, there’s a way.

SOURDOUGH BREAD HOUSE
Turkish breakfast and lunch joint forgoes kebabs in favor of lighter fare like the traditional Turkish breakfast, a Byzantine assemblage of nuts, fruits, vegetables, jams, dips, spreads, cheeses and a fried egg. Meat lovers can opt for various cold cuts (pastrami, roast beef, smoked turkey, beef bacon) on outstanding sourdough bread; the health-conscious can enjoy the same with hummus, avocado, labneh and smoked salmon replacing the cold cuts.

HHHHH
“Most Quiet,” but at least it’s acknowledgment. Zero likes on your last Instagram post? You may as well not exist. That desperation for attention leads Kayla to get into some situations that she is simply not ready for, particularly in regards to trying to impress boys. These moments are mostly played for laughs, but the moment when she realizes how far out of her depth she’s gotten is stone-cold, heartbreakingly serious. Burnham gets a knockout performance from Elsie Fisher – heretofore mainly known for voice work in the Despicable Me movies and the English dub of Russian children’s cartoon Masha and the Bear. It’d be easy to chalk that up to the fact that Fisher – at 15 – has gone through all of this herself quite recently, but her comedic timing and the nuance in her performance is so good that it’ll be weird if it doesn’t get acknowledged come award season. “I think that you are so cool,” Kayla’s dad (Josh Hamilton, in a strong, sympathetic performance) tells her at the dinner table after forcing her to stop looking at her phone for a minute. Kayla rolls her eyes and implores her dad to stop, embarrassed by the sincerity. But sincerity is what Eighth Grade delivers, whether it’s embarrassing or not. And by the end, you too will think Kayla is just so cool. tmccollum@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

The Darkest Minds
BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER
THIS WEEK: The Darkest Minds Local girl made great Mandy Moore co-stars in the latest filmed adaptation of dystopian YA fiction. In a kind of cross between Children of Men and X-Men, 98 percent of human minors die and the remaining 2 percent get superpowers. Moore plays a scientist who’s sympathetic to the plight of the gifted kids. Her major piece of advice: Stay away from Crock-pots. (PG-13) Death of a Nation Now that Trump has pardoned convicted felon and disinformation peddler Dinesh D’Souza, the latter is free to return the favor. And the payback is this latest “documentary,” which turns on the thesis that today’s Democratic Party is persecuting 45 the way yesterday’s did Abraham Lincoln. So basically, it’s the film version of one of those “the Republicans ended slavery” comments you’re used to fielding from your crazy relatives on social media. But wait a minute: Isn’t the whole “Trump-as-Lincoln” proposition going to confuse the movie’s target audience, who have been feeling increasingly emboldened to wear their Confederate underpants on the outside? I sure hope that bunch can get used to living in a state of cognitive dissonance. (PG-13) Disney’s Christopher Robin Given that the J.M. Barrie paean Finding Neverland was the only Marc Forster movie that was totally worth a damn, there’s a lot to expect from the similarly themed Christopher Robin, in which Winnie the Pooh and all of his pals from the Hundred Acre Wood have to help their now-grown human pal rediscover his imagination. The
trailers for this one have been giving America all the feels for months; if it ends up sucking for some reason, expect to have to talk a lot of your friends off ledges. (PG) The Spy Who Dumped Me While she continues to wait for the big-screen role that will truly cement her goddesshood, Kate McKinnon keeps Mila Kunis company in this action comedy about besties who are thrust into a maelstrom of intrigue when they learn that one of their exes is CIA. Ladies, remember the good old days, when you just had to worry about them being gay? (R)
ALSO PLAYING: Blindspotting An Oakland man tries to keep his friend out of trouble while he himself waits out the last three days of his parole. Hey, wasn’t T’Challa going to clean that place up or something? (R) Hot Summer Nights Call Me by Your Name breakout star Timothée Chalamet plays a young man who tries to find himself by selling drugs on Cape Cod. Oh, and he’s also hung up on the sister of his business partner. Sounds like he’s finding every way he can to screw the peach. (R; playing at AMC Universal Cineplex 20) Yellow Submarine Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the classic animated fantasy with this 4K restoration. Watch once more in giggly delight as the Beatles navigate the Sea of Holes and the Sea of Time, while trying their best to avoid the Sea of Heather Mills.

What kind of shows do you usually play, DIY shows or bar shows? Valeriano-Flores: We’ve always played DIY shows, but we also play bars and venues too. I think now, we play more DIY shows than bar shows. We used to play bars a lot more when we first started out, but not as much anymore. We generally only play bigger venues if it’s something we are really excited about. Matt Revers: Plus in Chicago we book DIY shows.

hicago quartet Negative Scanner make music that is urgency personified, a perfect sonic call to arms for increasingly difficult and fuckedup times. The band recently released Nose Picker on Chicago institution Trouble in Mind, and it’s a flawless snapshot of their angular, wiry, post-punk/hardcore hybrid. Negative Scanner is deeply – and happily – entrenched in the Chicago underground, with most members of the ensemble juggling side projects and DIY gig-booking duties; the emphasis is on keeping their band’s progress in line with their ideals, and supporting the community that supports them. Orlando Weekly sat down with singerguitarist Rebecca Valeriano-Flores and guitarist Matt Revers to talk about finally playing the Sunshine State. What brings you through Florida?

Going to shows and seeing the bands is where I am actively listening to music. I know personally, I am affected by it, but I don’t know if it shows in our music. Revers: In Chicago, music has always been a plurality. There’re a lot of bands that aren’t trying to sound like each other.

BY B AO L E - H U U JANELLE MONÁE | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY
This week, the high art of Janelle Monáe and the low art of ’80s shock rockers the Mentors.
JANELLE MONÁE, HOUSE OF BLUES, JULY 28
This decade has proven Janelle Monáe to be the best, most iconic exemplar of Atlanta’s game-changing avant-garde since OutKast. Though her high-concept R&B immediately distinguished her at the outset, where she currently sits in both quality and impact is on another level. Monáe reigns from her own realm, one that slinks between R&B, funk, pop, rap and rock on out to prog-soul – all seamlessly. Maybe only Prince has pulled this off (not coincidentally, this concert had many nods to him, both implied and overt). The thing that electrifies it all, though, is her singular style. Indeed, her production is grand now, with costumes, sets, dancers and a distinctly artistic edge. But all those are just beams of the sun that is Janelle Monáe, who possesses a rare kind of presence. And about that rarity, all contained within this one soul is natural talent, exceptional vision and supernova flair. Such consolidation is on its own star-making, but Monáe’s even more special than that. Even on her rise to the A-list, she’s never lost her experimental urge. Already a pop-cultural unicorn on many levels, what makes her symbolically immense is that she’s a legitimately alternative icon of undeniably universal appeal. While even the establishment is joining her cult, Monáe’s up there championing messages and people that’ve been marginalized, instantly redefining “normal” as if
No one adds up quite like Janelle Monáe. She’s not just an artist who can make a mark on the zeitgeist, she’s one who can move the times forward.
by the stroke of some wand. Here among the mob scene of her fans completely losing their shit, she made everything feel like a sensation, a spectacle and a safe space all at once. When you’ve got a certified pop star who’s taken the clear left lane to the top instead of the middle of the road, that’s a cosmic triumph. No one adds up quite like Janelle Monáe. Every ounce the antithesis of the old guard, she’s not just an artist who can make a mark on the zeitgeist, she’s one who can move the times forward. The gospel of Monáe is genius, dazzling, liberated and empowered. She may be the greatest sum of talent, art and It factor in popular music today. You can keep your Beyoncé. Janelle Monáe is what we need right now.
THE MENTORS, WILL’S PUB, JULY 25
Before there were the Dwarves or even GG Allin, there were the Mentors. The name may only hold recognition in the bowels of the shock-rock underground but, at one time, the sleaze merchants raised
alarm bells all the way up into the halls of Congress. In terms of spectacle, a shitshow like this is a pretty hard prospect to resist, especially considering that the Mentors have a history of drawing protest. The actual performance, however, was a little tame, which equals sad when it comes to things predicated on wildness like this. But the very nature of the Mentors continues to fan the flame of conversation and, often, ire. The only real defense for this kind of stuff is the sheer sake of art. Calling it outrageous is to prove its point. Calling it trash would only be a compliment. The only thing truly dangerous about it would be to take it too seriously. The Mentors’ late singer, El Duce, once appeared on the Jerry Springer Show alongside GWAR, for chrissakes. But most perspectives on the Mentors will probably be refracted through generational outlook. As a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, I’m unequivocally behind all the young progressive movements rising now (I’ve been waiting on these social changes longer than millennials have). But I’m also old enough to have seen the folly of trying to shut down art that you don’t agree with (e.g., Tipper Gore’s crusade in the ’80s). The Mentors were themselves singled out as a prime case of rock & roll’s perverting influence on America’s youth at those 1985 Parents Music Resource Center congressional hearings. Look, no one’s saying you gotta laugh along – I didn’t. But giving too much heed to what is so obviously a troll act, especially in times that runneth over with real-life abominations of global consequence, is to be an unwitting Tipper. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Cirque du Soleil: Crystal THEATER
Last summer, Cirque du Soleil purchased Blue Man Group; this summer, they’re sliding into our lives with this first-of-its-kind production. The 34-year-old company has pushed boundaries before, but this is a bit different. For seven shows, gymnasts and skaters will suspend and glide their way through an ice skating show – hence “Crystal,” which is also the name of the show’s lead character – with complementary pop music and visual projections. These performances will serve as a reminder of the incredible nature of gravity, its manipulation as an art form, and why we leave this kind of stuff to the pros. You’ll get a chance to see extreme situations on the ice, as well as not-so-oddly satisfying acrobatic disciplines and adrenaline-fueling aerial wonders. Let’s see if this new installment will truly “defy the imagination.” – Paola Perez 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, 4 & 7:30 p.m. Saturday, 1:30 & 5 p.m. Sunday | Amway Center, 400 W.

Ugly Orange Anniversary Show MUSIC
There are shows and then there are happenings. And local DIY booking duo Ugly Orange specialize in the latter to an extent few match in the area. What has distinguished Ugly Orange’s two-year booking run is their careful attention to detail, both in curation (seriously, you can tell how much they believe in all the acts they book) and extracurriculars (including on-site desserts, visual art and sundry weirdness). This show is a belated anniversary celebration, bringing together a diverse crew of musical comrades both near and far: Iowa’s electro-pop freaks Karen Meat (!) are joined by indie-pop maestro Diners and Tampa’s irrepressible MTVH1N1.

Terri Binion MUSIC
Golden-voiced local singer-songwriter Terri Binion has a double-header this week: On Friday, she plays a show with finger-picking guitarist Jack Graham. The two are close friends, so expect some collaboration onstage.

March for Marijuana CIVICS
In Florida, even if you have a medical marijuana registry card, it’s still illegal to possess whole flower cannabis. So come out to the beautiful shores of Lake Eola and let your pot-friendly flags fly as Orlandoans march for their right to medicate with the stickiest, ickiest herb of them all. State and local politicians will be there to march alongside their constituents, as will numerous advocates and business owners who are willing to speak out in favor of their beliefs – that cannabis is an gift from nature that should be used for the betterment of all. The event will be held in the forum area, close to Robinson Street and Eola Avenue. – Xander Peters 2-5 p.m. | Lake Eola Park, 512 E. Washington St. | free

Orlando Plant Swap EVENTS
We read a Los Angeles Times article last week claiming that millennials are “obsessed” with houseplants (headline: “They don’t own homes. They don’t have kids. Why millennials are plant addicts”). This may be true or it may be just another lukewarm internet take, but there’s no denying that potted plants are A Thing right now, and the excellent humans of Till Plant Co. are here to serve your newbie needs this weekend. Their Plant Swap at Lil Indies offers a chance to “rehome” any plants you’re tired of – or just hang out, drink Aperol and shop for plant accessories among like-minded aspiring green thumbs. There’s no obligation to swap – you can just shop – but if you want to participate, reserve a spot with a $5 ticket. All profits go to the Parramore Community Garden Project. – Jessica Bryce Young 4:30-7:30 p.m. | Lil Indies, 1036 N. Mills Ave. | facebook.com/tillplantcompany | free-$5

Anime Festival Orlando Femme Hop Parramore’s Stonewall Bar continues to see an influx of artsy underground events. This week, Femme Hop, a night devoted to women and femme artists in hiphop that’s previously been held at places like the Henao Center, makes its Stonewall debut. DJs Gay-Z, Amorphous and YourMobileGeek keep the dance floor crowded with a selection of mainstream and underground hip-hop and remixes created by women of various backgrounds while you’re left to wonder if this is technically gentrification or not. 10 p.m. Wednesday; Stonewall Bar Orlando, 741 W. Church St.; $5; stonewallorlando.com
Watermelon Crawl If you’ve been listening to Tyler Mahan Coe’s breakout podcast, “Cocaine & Rhinestones,” you’re probably ready for a night of classic country covers. The Watermelon Crawl brings together some local luminaries to cover a selection of country stars from the 1990s, including the Woolly Bushmen’s Jacob Miller & Friends as Alan Jackson, Moonmen From Mars’ Dirt McCoy as George Strait and Travis Tritt, and Hannah Harber and friends as the Dixie Chicks. Because we all need more Natalie Maines in our lives right now. 8 p.m. Friday; Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave.; $10; willspub.org Anime Festival Orlando Official Rave The annual convention for fans of all things related to Japanese cartoons, Anime Festival Orlando, returns to the Wyndham this weekend, and their official rave is the capstone party for the weekend.

It’s included with a weekend or Saturday pass, but there are rave-only tickets available. 10 p.m. Saturday; Wyndham Orlando Resort, 8001 International Drive; $10; animefestivalorlando.com
Sock Hop & Swing The Nook on Robinson brings in DJ Machine Gun Kristin for a retro sock hop this weekend. Kristin is a studied aesthete of retro kitsch, running the Kick Bright online and pop-up vintage shop with her husband, Jeff –which means that the curated selection of all-vinyl ’50s and ’60s tracks will probably be a dance-friendly mixture of the familiar and obscure. 10 p.m. Saturday; The Nook on Robinson, 2432 E.

Orlando ’80s Ball E V E N TS
The success of the FX Network’s drama Pose has been gratifying on many levels: The show is a faithful depiction of New York’s legendary ball culture of the 1980s (also immortalized in the essential Paris Is Burning documentary), the writing is top-notch, and the casting of gay, transgender and POC actors is pitch-perfect. Seems there’s no time like the present to go back to the future and stage a proper ball complete with trophies, and what better spot than Parliament House – and who better to have as a special guest for the event than Dominique Jackson, the program’s Mother Elektra, matriarch of the House of Elektra. But this is a ball, not just some meet-and-greet, and the category is … well, there are several, including Gown, Performance, Vogue and Fashion. Be prepared to work. – MM 8 p.m. | Parliament House, 410 N. Orange Blossom Trail | parliamenthouse.com 407-425-7571 | free-$25

B Y D A N S AVA G E
I’m gay and have been dating a guy for 10 months. He’s great overall, and I would say for the most part we both want it to work out. But I am having a problem with his friends and other lifestyle choices. All of his friends are straight, and almost all of them are women. All of my friends have always been gay men, like me, so I find this strange. I don’t have any problem with women, but I don’t hang out with any women, and neither do most of my friends. He makes dinner plans for us with his straight friends almost every week, and I grin and bear it. They’re always old co-workers, so the whole conversation is them talking about old times or straighty talk about their children. It’s incredibly boring. He’s met my friends, and he likes some of them but dislikes others. It’s obvious that he is not comfortable relating to gay men, generally speaking. He does not seem knowledgeable about gay history or culture. For example, he strongly dislikes drag queens and never goes to gay bars. There is one woman in particular he makes dinner for every Friday night. It’s a standing date that he’s only occasionally been flexible about changing to accommodate plans for the two of us. Now he’s planning a weeklong vacation with her. When he first mentioned this trip, he asked if I would want to spend a week camping. I said no, because I don’t like camping. He immediately went forward with planning it with her. I’m pretty sure the two of them had already hatched this plan, and I don’t think he ever really wanted me to go. I think it’s WEIRD to want to go camping for an entire week with some old lady. He does other weird things, too, like belonging to a strange new-age church, which is definitely at odds with my strongly held anti-religious views. He has asked me to attend; I went once, and it made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable. The fact that I didn’t like it just turned into a seemingly unsolvable problem between us. He says I’m not being “supportive.” I need some advice on how to get past my intense feelings of aversion to the weirdness. How can I not let our differences completely destroy the relationship? Hopelessly Odd Man Out Differences don’t have to destroy a relationship. Differences can actually enhance and help sustain a relationship. But for differences to have that effect, HOMO, both partners have to appreciate each other for their differences. You don’t sound appreciative – you sound contemptuous. And that’s a problem. 46
According to Dr. John Gottman of the Gottman Institute (a research institution dedicated to studying and strengthening marriages and other interpersonal relationships) – who says he can accurately predict divorce in 90 percent of cases – contempt is the leading predictor of divorce. “When contempt begins to overwhelm your relationship, you tend to forget entirely your partner’s positive qualities,” he writes in Why Marriages Succeed or Fail. Contempt, Gottman argues, destroys whatever bonds hold a couple together. You’ve been together only 10 months, HOMO, and you’re not married, but it sounds like contempt has already overwhelmed your relationship. It’s not just that you dislike his friends, you’re contemptuous of them; it’s not just that you don’t share his spiritual beliefs, you’re contemptuous of them; it’s not just that his gayness is expressed in a different-than-yours-but-still-perfectly-valid way, you’re contemptuous of him as a gay man. Because he doesn’t watch Drag Race or hang out in gay bars. Because he’s got a lot of female friends. Because he’s happy to sit and talk with his friends about their kids. (There’s nothing “straighty” about kid conversations. Gay parents take part in those conversations, too. And while we’re in this parenthesis: I can’t understand why anyone would waste their time actively disliking drag queens, but being a gay male correlates more strongly with liking dick than it does with liking drag.) This relationship might work if you were capable of appreciating the areas where you two overlap – your shared interests (including your shared interest in each other) – and content to let him go off and enjoy his friends, his new-age church, and his standing Friday-night dinner date. A growing body of research shows that divergent interests + some time away from each other + mutual respect = long-term relationship success. You’re missing the “mutual respect” part – and where this formula is concerned, HOMO, two out of three ain’t enough. Here’s how it might look if you could appreciate your differences: You’d do the things you enjoy doing together – like, say, each other – but on Friday nights, he makes dinner for his bestie and you hit the gay bars with your gay friends and catch a drag show. You would go on vacations together, but once in a while he’d go on vacation with one of his “straighty” friends, and once in a while you’d go on vacation with your gay friends. On Sundays, he’d go to woo-woo church and
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● AUG. 1-7, 2018 ● orlandoweekly.com
you’d sleep in or binge-watch Pose. You’d be happy to let him be him, and he’d be happy to let you be you – and together the two of you would add up to an interesting, harmonious, compelling “we.” But I honestly don’t think you have it in you. P.S. I have lots of straight friends, and I’m a parent, and sometimes I talk with other parents about our children, and I rarely go to gay bars, and I haven’t gotten around to watching Pose yet, or the most recent season of Drag Race, for that matter. It’s devastating to learn, after all these years and all those dicks, that I’m terrible at being gay. P.P.S. If a straight person told you, “I don’t have any problem with gay men, but I don’t hang out with any gay men, and neither do most of my friends,” you’d think they had a problem with gay men, right? I’ve been in an on-again, off-again relationship for the past four years. My girlfriend has an assortment of mental-health issues – anxiety, depersonalization episodes, depression, paranoia, among others – that make it very stressful and tiring to be with her. Despite my best attempts at getting her to seek help, she refuses to take the plunge. Whether it’s a result of her illness or not, she refuses to believe that I actually want to be with her. I do care deeply about her, and the good days are wonderful. But nearly every time we go on a date or have sex, it ends in tears, and I have to endlessly reassure her that I do really want to be with her. I’m exhausted by having to defend my feelings for her multiple times per week and I don’t know what to do. He’s Exhausted And Lost There’s only one thing you can do, HEAL: Put this relationship on hold – take it back to off-again status – and make getting back together contingent upon her seeking help for her mentalhealth issues. You’ve made it clear, again and again, that you want to be with her. By finally seeking help – by actually taking the plunge – she can make it clear that she wants to be with you.
“DIFFERENCES”
I have a very sexy German boyfriend, and he is not circumcised. His otherwise beautiful dick is a problem. It smells – sometimes a little; sometimes it really stinks. After he showers, the smell is still there. He says he uses only water. Is there a better way to wash an uncircumcised penis? Can he use some kind of soap? Girl Asks Gay4 Grooming Intervention Near Genitals Yes, GAGGING, there is a better way: He needs to wash that thing with motherfucking SOAP. If the soap he’s got is irritating the head of his penis or the inside of his foreskin, he needs to try other soaps until he finds one that cleans his dick without causing irritation. And you should make allowing that otherwise beautiful German dick anywhere near you contingent upon him learning how to clean it properly. There’s no excuse for stank-ass dick.
