Readers react. Last week we published a report by Solomon Gustavo on a nine-mile toll road extension that will connect the Osceola Parkway to State Road 417 – and the extension cuts right through the Split Oak Forest. Untouched in centuries by Central Florida’s rampant development, the forest is owned by Osceola and Orange counties, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has spent more than 20 years maintaining it. The toll road is billed as an effort to ease traffic on Orlando’s congested roadways. @Raevyn Kay Very sad; I’ve walked here several times birding and love the wild natural land. @Samantha Meyers How can a highway be more important than centuries-old trees? I don’t have kids but those of you that do should be VERY upset. It’s your children and grandchildren who are going to have to go to museums to see trees and wildlife. @Jenni Andrade This is so messed up! We don’t need more roads. We need better public transportation so we don’t use our cars!
@Bobby Fusion Much respect to the tireless efforts of Valerie Anderson and her team to preserve this precious gem of Central Florida. @Valerie Anderson FYI everybody, this fight is nowhere near over. [Ed. note: Visit friendsofsplitoak.org for more information.] @Herbie Ellis Yeah, it’s sad. When I came here in ’82 you could smell and see the orange trees coming off the 408 ... all gone, no orange trees, they even took the one tree in Bithlo away. @Jason Blackwell Stop with the building toll roads through our pristine areas. Once the road is there then they will have an excuse to destroy the rest. @Desi Devor No wonder we now have black bears in our garages and trash cans and coyotes eating the neighbor’s cat! @David Griffith For those shocked, this has been planned for years. Only FWC could’ve stopped it and, it appears, they’ve failed. I guess the Expressway Authority can buy out anyone these days.

Orlando cop reprimanded for provoking teens, teachers fear punishment for attending rally in Tally, and other news you may have missed. »
Treasury Department will investigate Trump’s ‘opportunity zones,’ including some questionable ones in Florida: The Trump administration’s “opportunity zone” program was part of the president’s 2017 tax plan and was designed to give tax incentives to rich people who invest in lowerincome areas, but in reality, many of these tax breaks were instead given to our country’s wealthiest chuds and their luxury pet projects that in no way help poor people. The Treasury Department’s plans to investigate corruption within the “opportunity zone” program following numerous reports that many projects were completely bogus and benefited Trump’s closest associates, Treasury Inspector General Richard Delmar told NBC News.

Former Orlando Police ‘officer of the year’ reprimanded for racism, attempting to provoke teens: Officer Jonathan Mills has received a verbal reprimand after video surfaced of the cop proceeding to “taunt, belittle, humiliate and even incite ... violence” against three teenagers – at least one of whom was Black – during an arrest in May 2019. Before this, he was verbally warned for an accusation of racism in 2016, and was hit with an excessive force lawsuit in 2017. And yet! He was named OPD’s 2018 “patrol officer of the year.” In the video, OPD Internal Affairs says, Mills can be seen grabbing one teen’s hands and telling him he’s never been in a fight, grabbing a teen’s phone and throwing it to the ground, and attempting to goad a teen by saying “I hope he runs.”

As Florida public school teachers rally at the state capitol, some fear punishment: Tens of thousands of Florida public education workers and their supporters gathered at the “Take on Tallahassee” Rally for Education outside the state capitol Jan. 13, the day before the 2020 legislative session began, to demand overdue hikes in teacher pay. Striking is illegal for teachers in the state of Florida, but teachers didn’t strike – they took a day off to rally. Yet Billy Townsend of Polk County School Board District 1 shared on Facebook an email from the Florida Department of Education, in which the agency threatens to fine or even fire Polk County teachers who attended the rally. “Teachers have the right to, certainly, tell their lawmakers how they feel,” Seminole State College chair Scott D. Howat told Orlando Weekly.

Orlando cop censured for using taser on teenage bicyclist: Orlando Police consider tasing someone on a bicycle excessive force, “except in cases of aggressive resistance.” In May, Officer Peter Meier used a taser on a 19-year-old boy who was fleeing from him on a bike. The young man fell and skidded on the ground, as seen in body camera footage. For breaking OPD’s force policy, Meier was punished with a written censure following an Internal Affairs investigation in October. Meier told investigators that he saw the teen, who was riding bikes with two other young men May 5 at Oak Ridge Road and Millenia Boulevard near the Mall at Millenia, pop a wheelie through the intersection. Meier said he flashed his patrol lights and called over the teens, but they rode away. In the body camera video, Meier can be seen catching up in his squad car. He got out near the teen, chased him for a bit, then tasered him off the bike and to the ground. orlandoweekly.com

WHAT BERNIE (MIGHT HAVE) SAID Let’s assume Sanders did say a woman can’t beat Trump. Is he wrong? BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N
S
everal months ago, a very progressive, proudly feminist friend asked me who I was supporting in the Democratic race for president. I said I wasn’t sure, but I was leaning toward Elizabeth Warren. “She won’t win,” she replied. “So who are you voting for?” “Biden,” she said quickly. That took me aback. Of the major Democratic candidates, the moderate former vice president was the one probably least aligned with her values. “Why don’t you think Warren can win?” I asked. “This country won’t vote for a woman.” The only thing that mattered, she added, was defeating Donald Trump. She thought Joe Biden was the safest path toward that goal. Everything else was secondary. I have no idea if Bernie Sanders told Elizabeth Warren in late 2018 that a woman couldn’t beat Donald Trump in 2020. I’ll confess some skepticism that such a remark would have gone unleaked for a year only to surface weeks before the Iowa caucuses. But it’s possible that Sanders said it; CNN’s audio of their post-debate interaction last week suggests Warren believes he did. It’s also possible that Sanders said something that Warren interpreted in a way Sanders didn’t intend. Either way, I’m less interested in The Feud than I am the question underlying it. For the sake of argument, assume Sanders said a woman can’t beat Trump. Is he wrong? I know more than one shellshocked progressive who has their doubts, and not without reason: In 2016, America had
the choice between a smart, overqualified woman and a loutish, racist, aggressively ignorant man. The man won. There are caveats galore, of course. Trump’s election required a perfect confluence of events: Start with Hillary Clinton’s godawful campaign, led by an uncharismatic candidate tarnished by a quarter-century of ginned-up pseudoscandals. Throw in the FBI’s mishandled email-server investigation that the media hyped like it was Iran Contra times Watergate to the power of Teapot Dome. Add some Russian hacking and Wikileaks dirty work. Mix in a late callback to Anthony Weiner’s dick pics. And for the coup de grâce, the Electoral College, which gave Trump the White House despite earning 3 million fewer votes, thanks to a football-stadium-size margin spread across three states. In an election that close, everything mattered. So yes, maybe Bernie would have won because he’d have rallied the millennials who stayed at home. Maybe he would have won because the Rust Belt would have responded to his message. Or maybe he would have won because he is not a woman. This thesis can’t be tested, of course. Who knows where Bernie would have ended up after a billion dollars’ worth of “he honeymooned in the Soviet Union” ads? But Sanders, at least, wouldn’t have had to endure the torrent of misogyny, both from Trump and his supporters and from the media, that Clinton did. Three years later, “I’ll vote for a woman, just not that woman” has become a
meme, but like any good meme, it gets at something real: Large swaths of the country despised Hillary, but they’ll probably find some reason to despise the next woman who makes a serious run for commander-in-chief, too. Consider the Democratic primary. Among the reasons Kamala Harris never caught on was that Democrats voters feared a black woman wouldn’t be electable. Amy Klobuchar, who seemed primed to make a Rust Belt case, was met at the gate with stories painting her as, well, a bitch. And Warren has been labeled “angry” and “antagonistic,” just another way of calling her “unlikable.” To become the first black president, Barack Obama had to not only be an exceptional politician, but he also needed the stars to align. With the economy tanking and the Iraq War a dumpster fire in 2008, whichever Democrat won the nomination would almost certainly win in November. And Obama had given a speech opposing the Iraq War in 2002 – before his opposition carried any consequence – while Clinton backed it. He was lucky and good. To become the first woman president, Warren (or Klobuchar) will need to defeat an incumbent presiding over a growing economy. To break through the barrier in the worst rich country in the world in which to be a woman, she’ll have to parry misogynistic depravity that knows no bottom and a media that still treats Trump as normal. She’ll have to persuade a country conditioned to accept a man’s flaws (Trump won just six weeks after the “grab ’em by the pussy” tape came to light) and doubt a woman’s ability and wherewithal (remember that time Hillary coughed?). She’ll also have to deal with the fact that female ambition tends to make men uncomfortable. In short, she’ll have to be exceptional and, like Obama, she’ll also need some stars to align. Despite the economy, Trump is unpopular, widely perceived as crass, venal, mendacious, impulsive, corrupt and cruel. A good candidate, man or woman, will make the election a referendum on the president while also motivating the party’s base to turn out. It’s a fine line to walk, but if it happens, Trump will lose. There’s no reason that candidate can’t be a woman. But like Ginger Rogers, she’ll have to do it backward and in high heels. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

TAKING INITIATIVE
Legislature throws up more roadblocks to getting amendment proposals on the ballot BY JIM SAUNDERS, N SF
A
fter passing a controversial law last year that clamped down on ballot initiatives, Florida House members Thursday moved forward with a bill that would continue to make it harder to pass constitutional amendments. The House Judiciary Committee voted 12-6 to approve the measure, which would create additional hurdles for political committees seeking to put proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. As an example, it would make it significantly harder to trigger Florida Supreme Court reviews that play a crucial role in determining whether amendments go before voters. The measure is the latest move in years of efforts by Republican leaders and influential groups, such as the Florida Chamber of Commerce, to limit the initiative 14
process. They argue, in part, that the process can lead to big-money donors bankrolling constitutional amendments on issues that should be decided by the Legislature. “When we allow the citizen petition initiative to run unbridled, what we tell people is that a billionaire can fund a single initiative and trample over every other individual who doesn’t have the time, the obligation, the understanding or the expertise to dive in and understand,” bill sponsor James Grant, R-Tampa, told the committee. But Democrats and other groups have long argued that the initiative process can be the only route for citizens when the Legislature ignores their wishes. For instance, voters in 2016 passed a constitutional amendment that broadly legalized medical marijuana. “I think it’s a fundamental question of whether we trust

the voters or not,” said Rep. Fentrice Driskell, D-Tampa. “And if we do, then we should be able to trust this process and allow them to bring these petitions.” Much of the battle over the years has focused on the costly and time-consuming process of collecting and verifying petition signatures to reach the ballot. The law passed last year placed additional regulations on paid petition gatherers, including requiring them to register with the Department of State and receive petition forms from the agency. The new House bill would go further. To get proposed constitutional amendments on the 2020 ballot, committees need to submit 766,200 valid petition signatures to the state and receive approval from the Florida Supreme Court of the ballot wording. To trigger that Supreme Court review, committees need to submit 76,632 signatures, or about 10 percent of the 766,200. But the bill would increase that 10 percent threshold to 50 percent. That would translate to at least 383,100 signatures if the proposed requirement were in place for this year’s amendments. Among other changes, the bill could also lead to county supervisors of elections charging more to verify petition signatures. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

NAMED AND SHAMED
Transgender Orange County student claims middle school used his deadname, despite assurances of sensitivity BY SOLOMON GUSTAVO
W
aiting outside her son’s school in the early weeks of the school year, Samantha says she was shocked out of the hectic monotony of waiting for her child to emerge from the swirl of kids in the pick-up area. Other Robinswood Middle School students were calling out facetious farewells using the name she gave her child at birth, when her child’s gender was assigned as female. “What did they call you?” asked Samantha as her son got in the car. (We have changed “Samantha’s” name to protect her child’s identity.) “Nothing,” said the sixth-grader, insisting that he could handle it on his own. School can be cruel. At every age, there are bullies, and anti-bullying measures still have a long way to go. But what shocked Samantha was that her son’s classmates knew the name at all.
*** Samantha says that, just as she did at her son’s elementary school, she went to the Robinswood administration before the year started to explain that her son identifies with a different gender than the one assigned at birth and thus goes by a different name. There was never a problem at Catalina Elementary School, says Samantha. No other students knew her son was transgender – a term he doesn’t use, preferring simply to call himself a boy – not even his friends or any of the teachers. At Robinswood, Samantha claims, the school ignored her request that teachers and school officials refer to her son by his chosen name. She says a teacher called her son by his deadname on the first day of school. (“Deadname” is the term for a transgender person’s original name given at birth to match a specific gender assignment.) And when the boy asked to be called by his chosen name, the teacher refused. He was told by the teacher that he’d have to
change it legally for that to happen. Samantha says other students, upon hearing the unfamiliar name, began using it to taunt her son. According to Samantha, the teacher continued to use the deadname for weeks. She only knew about it when she heard the students saying it in the pick-up area. Her son, she says, didn’t want to bother her with it. Samantha said she brought up the issue to Robinswood principal Nicole Jefferson, the same person she says she told about the name a week before school. But Jefferson refused to apologize or have the teacher apologize, according to Samantha; she says she was told that educators do not apologize to students. The principal said school officials use legal documents and names but, now that she’d been specifically notified, she’d make sure the teacher wouldn’t do it again. Samantha says she went to the Orange County School Board, who told her they’d investigate. But the damage is done. Samantha’s son intentionally withholds his gender identity journey from friends and classmates, but now the cat’s out of the bag. In one instance, according to Samantha, Robinswood students tapped her son in the genital area to humiliate him. Her son kept all of this to himself for weeks. When Samantha found out about the genital touching and brought it to the school administration, she says she was told that they couldn’t do anything because they need to be immediately notified of any issues requiring disciplinary action. “We feel discriminated against,” she said, adding she is actively looking to move her son to another school. Samantha says she took her son out of school for a little over a week but, after being informed that her son could be charged with truancy, returned him to Robinswood. She says her son has to see the same teacher who called him by his deadname every day. Samantha did note that the school provided a
separate bathroom for her son from day one, but claims they barred him from the boy’s restroom. Her son used the bathroom in the guidance counselor’s office. She added the guidance counselor has been a great boon for her boy, and that other teachers have been kind and understanding. Another teacher also used her son’s deadname on the first day of school while taking attendance but, after the boy asked the teacher not to, immediately stopped. Samantha also noted that, after all of this, she feels a rift with her child’s school that makes her feel uncomfortable to speak to them or ask for things. For example, her son wants to join the gym class. But when Samantha brought it up, she says the administration said they were unsure how to handle locker room space. Instead of starting what she felt would be another argument, she said she dropped it. Her son still really wants to take gym.
*** Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Orange County Public Schools says it cannot “cannot release or discuss any student information.” The district did provide a form called “Best Practices,” a guide for interacting with different kinds of students provided by LGBTQIA advocacy group Equality Florida. “The School Board of Orange County, Florida, does not discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in its programs and activities, on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other reason prohibited by law,” reads a statement on the form. The “Best Practices” form says Orange County students and faculty should “feel empowered” to be about open gender expression, identity and sexual orientation. A student’s clothing, pronouns and name, according to the form, are permitted to be “consistent with their gender identity.” The form also says students are to be granted access to bathrooms and locker rooms in keeping with their gender identity, and lists contact numbers for county LGBTQ Student and GayStraight Alliance support faculty, as well as a number for a 24-hour hotline. “If a staff member is not following the direction in this document, they can be referred to their principal or manager who may escalate the case to the Office of Professional Standards who would conduct an internal investigation,” OCPS said in a statement to Orlando Weekly. That sounds great on paper, but paper’s not much protection from a bully, whether they’re a fellow student or a teacher.
The teacher told the boy he’d have to legally change his name if he wanted the teacher to use it. Then the principal told the boy’s mother that educators don’t apologize to students.

Fuller influenced her artistic style in a theoretical way, she calls her approach more organic and expressionistic, explaining, “I am not a hard-edge artist, although I am abstract.” Although Fuller’s geometric theories didn’t linger in Lehr’s work, his influence directly instigated her 50-year focus on nature and the planet. As a Miami resident, she’s witnessing the evidence of climate change from her front door, where rising seas and warming water are changing the local ecosystem. “I see my creek changing from a pristine body of water to murky, garbage-filled river,” she says. “During storms and heavy rainfall, the water is now coming into my backyard and into my driveways.” Lehr urges us to “recognize that we are on Spaceship Earth and we should run it efficiently as an actual spaceship. This way there will be enough resources to go around and every human being will be a success.” To express her urgent message, Lehr creates massive works of art like floor-to-ceiling sculpture of mangrove roots and a series of giant glassy resin panels suspended in air from a 7-foot steel ring. In order to create such monumental works, Lehr relies on assistants to do the

heavy lifting. (She says, “I have a laser pointer that works wonders.”) She praises the Mennello’s team, led by curator Ginger Gregg Duggan, for “a great collaboration,” especially on her site-specific “Mixing Currents” installation, which was developed through scale models and a preliminary pre-fabricated structure. Nearly 60 years after moving to Miami, Lehr was recently honored with a headlining exhibit at Art Basel. “It has made my life so much more exciting to be recognized in this way,” she says. That internationally recognized event would have been unthinkable when Lehr originally arrived, and she observes that “although everyone likes to complain about the traffic and the crowds, I think we all secretly enjoy having such a major art festival in Miami.

There’s something extra special between the romantic leads of the touring Broadway production of Aladdin currently at the Dr. Phillips Center Since its animated debut in
1992, Aladdin has become one of Disney’s most prolific properties, spawning themepark attractions, cruise-ship shows and just last year a live-action remake. But although the songs and storyline should be familiar to most audience members attending the touring Broadway production playing the Dr. Phillips Center (now through Feb. 9), they may detect a unique chemistry between the show’s romantic leads. That’s because this Aladdin and Jasmine actually met long before they climbed aboard a flying carpet in Agrabah, back when they were both children in an equally enchanted oasis called Hawaii. Kaena Kekoa, who plays Princess Jasmine on the national tour of Disney’s Aladdin, and Jonah Ho’okano, who plays the title character, both grew up on Oahu and attended the same church-based community theater program, performing together as tweens in Aida and Fiddler on the Roof. But as I learned interviewing the duo ahead of their arrival in Orlando, while they both began and ended up in the same place, they took very different paths to get there. The daughter of a pastor and school principal, Kekoa grew up in a big family that was “always singing and dancing,” and began performing in middle school. “I’m really, really shy, but doing theater back there really got me out of my comfort zone,” she says. Despite her early love of the stage, she went to college to be a teacher. “I wanted to pursue musical theater, but I never thought I was good enough,” she says. Kekoa had no intention to pursue a stage career until friends and family encouraged her to attend an open audition for Aladdin, which would become her first-ever professional acting role. “I didn’t decide to go until the day before the audition, and it was really just them pushing me to do it,

because I would never have on my own.” Kekoa’s co-star, on the other hand, knew he wanted to be an actor at age 10, when his mother enrolled him in theater camp during school break “that I fought her tooth and nail about, and then immediately fell in love with,” Ho’okano recalls. “She didn’t realize what a theater monster she was creating, because I never stopped after that.” At age 18, he was cast in the Aladdin show at Disney California Adventure and moved from Hawaii to Los Angeles for five years. He then took up the role on the Disney Fantasy cruise ship, before finally joining the Broadway tour. While he’s reticent to compare the different interpretations, he calls his role at the Disneyland Resort “the best gig that a performer can snag in L.A. for a theatrical day job.” Ho’okano also says that life on tour is similar to working on a cruise ship, except now he has his own Airbnb to stay in, whereas on the boat, “there wasn’t an escape … you go back to your cabin where you are living next door to all of your other cast members, and there’s no real downtime or alone time.” One thing both performers agree on is that their shared history contributes to the ease of their characters’ onstage relationship. “Aladdin and Jasmine are in a romantic relationship, but they’re very
playful,” says Kekoa. “Being on there with Jonah makes it a lot more comfortable, because we’ve known each other and done shows together.” Ho’okano, who had to stretch his natural talents in order to sing in a higher key and master Casey Nicholaw’s choreography, calls performing alongside Kekoa “the easiest part of the puzzle,” adding that “the minute me and Kaena had a scene together, it was the most natural thing in the world.” “People come for the Genie and the carpet, and when they actually get there, they get so much more,” says Kekoa, who portrays Jasmine as a strong, independent woman for “the young girls who I see at the stage door and in the audience in their cute little Jasmine dresses.” As for that famous carpet, Ho’okano claims this production’s flying floor covering contains “a little extra magic” compared to the two he’d previously flown on. Just don’t ask him how it works: “I couldn’t honestly tell you. I kind of get on it, I trust it.” And no matter how many times he and Kekoa climb aboard to sing “A Whole New World,” Jonah insists he “will never get tired of taking that flight … I will never not be excited to start that number, I will never get sick of performing that song. It holds a very special place in my heart.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

impressed, though we managed to improve on the latter by dribbling it with the sauce served alongside the black bean-and-sweet potato wontons ($8). Its peppery kick, softened by the inclusion of tamari, agave, olive oil and Dijon mustard, added a layer of potency to the sesame-flecked noodz, just as it did to the lemongrass-scented dumplings. I was a tad overzealous in scooping muhammara from the mezze platter ($10) with a pita slice. “I think I know why this place is called Hungry Pants,” I muttered, looking down at the reddish blob on my jeans. I finger-scooped the spicy spread into my mouth. Don’t judge – it was too good to waste. Other mezze items: artichokes, roasted peppers, olives, lemony hummus and tzatziki. I should mention that Hungry Pants is a venture by Joey Conicella and Alex Marin, who once ran the uber-popular Yum Yum Cupcake Truck. They were known for their bow ties, so a pantaloon-themed eatery doesn’t seem that out of the ordinary for the duo. What was out of the ordinary was the mac & cheese & squash ($4). The pureed butternut squash didn’t make for a very pleasant texture or taste. Everyone took a bite, but no one took a second. The “hurry curry” bowl ($10) looked pretty-pants with broccoli, cherry tomatoes, butternut squash and onion floating in a mild yellow curry. Forbidden rice gave contrast to the presentation, but the lack of flavor made one of my
guests proclaim the dish “more Berkeley than Bombay.” The slice of sour orange pie ($4), however, was Orlando to the core. We popped by Shaka Donuts just up the road for a postmeal fix, but after getting it, I couldn’t help but think we should’ve ordered more of that sour orange pie instead. Probably would’ve felt better about ourselves too. What Hungry Pants does is bridge a mental gap of sorts. We know we should be cutting back on animal protein consumption, and we know we should be introducing plant-based meals into our diets, but we may not always want to. Hungry Pants helps reconcile that apprehension, and the world’s a better place for it. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

LITTLE HUSTLERS Oscar-snubbed Little Women and Hustlers are the same movie
BY MARYANN JOHA N SON
I
am going to drop a truth bomb, and you are probably not ready for it: Little Women and Hustlers are the same movie. “Wait a minute,” you’re saying. “That crime-caper black comedy about Great Recession strippers who con their clients is the same movie as the sweet, earnest one about 19th-century sisters figuring out who gets to marry Timothée Chalamet?” First of all, that’s not what Little Women is about – and that anyone might think so is part of the problem here. Second, yes, these two movies are so much the same that it hurts me in all sorts of ways. Some good, some bad. Sigmund Freud stroked his beard pensively when he wondered what women want, imagining that he was posing a conundrum for the ages. He had only to ask some women and really listen to what they said in response – but he doesn’t seem to have ever considered that this was an option. If Freud didn’t actually invent our culture’s unwillingness to listen to and to understand women, he at least codified it. We see that willful blindness at work on the big screen even today, where movies by and about women are infinitely less likely to get produced than movies by and about men. If such movies do manage to overcome the hurdle blocking their very existence, they are infinitely less likely to get wide releases. (I’ve studied this phenomenon on a weekby-week, here-are-the-new-releases basis. It’s real, and it’s infuriating.) It is very much an anomaly, then, that both Hustlers and Little Women – both written and directed by women
(Lorene Scafaria for Hustlers, Greta Gerwig for Women), both based on source material also written by women, and both profoundly about women – got such big releases within a few months of each other, and have been big hits. It’s no surprise that both films have resonated with audiences, because they plainly and overtly speak to women’s lived lives that we hardly ever see play out in movies. Women like it when our realities are reflected in our entertainment. Men should like it, too, especially if they find themselves echoing Freud’s needlessly clueless pondering. Of course, there are as many answers to Freud’s “dilemma” as there are women in the world, but there are some basic ground truths – and these truths form the not-so-improbably similar backbones of Little Women and Hustlers: • Women want to be respected for our brains and talents, not just for our bodies, and get far more satisfaction from the former. • Women want financial independence, and particularly do not want to be financially reliant on men. • Women want (and need, and cherish) the support of other women as we struggle to get by in a world that isn’t kind to us. • Women want autonomy in the world – not only to act with our own agency, but to be seen to be acting as our own agents. It’s pretty obvious stuff, or so you’d think. Yet our culture – in particular our pop culture – still too often casts women as nothing but adjuncts to men, unhappy unless romantically partnered with men. So it is beyond refreshing
to see Little Women directly confronting the predicaments of the March sisters – most centrally, Saoirse Ronan’s writer Jo and Florence Pugh’s glamorpuss Amy – as they try to make their ways in a world in which marriage is, for genteelly poor girls such as them, primarily a financial arrangement, with few other options open to them to live comfortably, and as they blaze their own paths through such a world. It is beyond refreshing to see the sex workers of Hustlers – most centrally, Constance Wu’s newbie Destiny and Jennifer Lopez’s veteran Ramona – turning the tables on men who would take advantage of them, who so utterly fail to recognize the agency of those women that they cannot even see when they’re being played. And there’s another thread of shared backbone that runs through both Hustlers and Little Women that is of particular appeal to women who long to see our stories told, who understand that women’s perspectives on women’s stories are absolutely vital: Women want control over our own stories, and we do not want to be told how to tell them. It’s nice that male filmmakers want to tell women’s stories, but those men often have their own blind spots, failing to understand what it is about a woman’s story that makes it worth telling. We see women controlling their own stories in Little Women, which plays a meta game with Jo’s tale, suggesting that the happy ending (i.e., marriage) that her male publisher demands of the novel’s female protagonist may not be the same happy ending (i.e., maybe not married?) of Jo’s own life. We see Destiny controlling the telling of her own story in Hustlers, when she cuts off the interrogation of Julia Stiles’ journalist; the dialogue soundtrack goes shockingly silent then. The journalist may be a woman, but she’s much more privileged than Destiny is – and so, you know, women of color need to be telling their own stories, and getting heard, far more often than our culture allows. Yes, Little Women and Hustlers are the same movie – and I predict we will get many more like them until all women are authentically heard far more often than we are now.

OPENING THIS WEEK: 63 Up They started making the septennial installments of the Up documentary series the year I was born, which means I’ve never known a world where I couldn’t periodically check in on the progress of a bunch of Brits to compare their life journeys to mine. (One day soon, this will be the only option available to Meghan Markle as well.) The latest chapter, which looks in on the crew at age 63, was shown on TV in the U.K. last June. But I think it hardly qualifies as a spoiler for me to report that they all still have terrible teeth. (NR; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) The Gentlemen And speaking of English people you catch up with every now and then to make sure they haven’t hurt themselves, Guy Ritchie has another film. The Gentlemen stars Matthew McConaughey as an American expatriate who’s risen to the top of British gangland by selling weed. The movie is being billed as a return to the smart-talking gangster ethos of Ritchie’s earlier pictures, like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. See, for quite a while there, he was preoccupied with iconic figures that are beloved by millions yet never actually existed. Like Sherlock Holmes. And Aladdin. And Madonna. (R) The Last Full Measure This star-studded war flick casts Sebastian Stan as a Pentagon pencil pusher who tries to find out why the Medal of Honor was never awarded to a longdead war hero. After some deep digging, Stan’s character learns the answer: The poor slob was captured by the enemy,
given a metal arm and turned into a ruthless, brainwashed killing machine. OK, not really, but tell me you wouldn’t pay to see that again. (R) The Turning Yet another adaptation of The Turn of the Screw, but with the title purged of anything that someone with the mentality of a 12-year-old could possibly snicker at. Boy, they never let me have any fun. This time, the nanny is played by Mackenzie Davis and her sinister charges by Finn Wolfhard and Brooklynn Prince. After The Florida Project, Winter Springs native Prince is probably happy to be playing a character who has an actual home, let alone a sprawling estate from which to terrorize one’s hapless caregiver. Who says this generation isn’t upwardly mobile? (PG-13)
ALSO PLAYING: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Extended Cut And now, the best joke you will hear in 2020: When Quentin Tarantino says the director’s cut of his movie has more “footage,” he means it literally. (R; playing at Regal Winter Park Village & RPX, Regal Waterford Lakes & IMAX, and Regal Oviedo Mall) The Song of Names After a separation of three decades, Londoner Tim Roth starts to figure out what happened to his vanished adoptive brother (Clive Owen), a violin prodigy. Director François Girard made his bones in 1998 with The Red Violin. Wow, and you thought Charlie Daniels had fiddles on the brain, right? (PG-13; playing at Regal Winter Park Village & RPX)

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT AND THEY FEEL FINE
The Black Lips soundtrack ‘a world that’s falling apart’ BY IDA V. ESKAMANI
“R
ealistically, when has the world not been falling apart?” Jared Swilley of unruly garage rockers the Black Lips reflects back on the band’s two decades, and the general history of humankind, with a sense of defiant optimism only achieved after a lifetime of growing up rough and living fast. “I think we should be more grateful, but if the world was going to be falling apart, I don’t want to cry about it. I want to sing as it’s going down, like a captain going down with the ship.” Bassist Swilley and guitarist Cole Alexander have been steering the Black Lips through uncharted waters since they founded the band in high school two decades ago. Thinking back, Swilley takes stock: “It brings up really deep emotions. I look back and think, ‘Holy shit, I can’t believe I stuck with this for 21 years.’” With unbelievably raucous live performances (including but not limited to vomiting, urination, nudity and live animals on stage), paired with a sound that’s as terrifying as it is trailblazing, the Black Lips
have achieved a don’t-give-a-shit grit that’s got the underground world hooked. The band’s ninth studio album and forthcoming release, The Black Lips Sing in a World That’s Falling Apart, serves their legacy well, while embarking toward new sonic frontiers: The Black Lips have produced a (yes) country album. It’s a natural progression for a band that always flashed a rockabilly flair, yet the band’s current makeup was destined for this moment. Saxophonist Zumi Rosow, drummer Oakley Munson and country guitarist Jeff Clarke bring blazing harmonicas, slide and finger-picking, and traditional rhythms, combined with Swilley’s balladeer croon and Alexander’s Southern drawl. It is country music with a cosmic twist, and quintessential Black Lips. The record release party is right here in the Sunshine State, just a couple hundred miles south in Miami. The band is launching their North American tour here in our peculiar peninsula. “We are one of the few bands that regularly tour Florida,” contends Swilley.
“Florida is close to our hearts. We love all y’all, and we love coming down there.” Speaking on the City Beautiful, Swilley expressed his affection for Will’s Pub – where they will be DJing at a justannounced afterparty on Thursday – and of the upcoming show at the Social, provides quite the guarantee: “We’re going to blow the roof off that joint.” Larger than life as they are now, it’s easy to forget the band’s unlikely beginnings. “It’s always been me and Cole,” Swilley says. “I’d get anxiety all the time. … It’s tough. It’s a rocky business to be in.” If Swilley could give his younger self any advice, it would be simple, yet affirming guidance: “Hey, you got nothing to worry about, bud.” Hindsight is indeed 20/20, a fact Swilley was quick to remind us of throughout our conversation. “When I say Sing in a World That’s Falling Apart, I don’t mean that as a negative thing. I’ve always thought of it as a positive thing.” Inspired by the band’s wonderfully grim album title, we asked him about the things he sees currently falling apart in the world. “From where we’re sitting it’s hard to say. The whole concept of humans is just trying to survive forever, and do the best we can,” says Swilley. With a new year, a new record and a tour fully booked, the Black Lips are thriving. What’s left to achieve for the esteemed “flower-punks”? “This band has brought me to all corners of the world,” reflects Swilley. “We’ve met amazing people on every continent except for Antarctica, and that was only because Metallica fucked that up for us.” We can’t help but press for more details on this surreal scenario. “Well, we wanted to be the only band that played on all seven continents … and I know for a fact that my friend Brent from Mastodon told Metallica that. They didn’t actually even play in Antarctica. They played on a boat and everyone had headphones,” vents Swilley. “That’s going to be my 2020 resolution. We’re playing in Antarctica. I’m not going to let Versace-blimp motherfuckers like Metallica try and take my dream away.” music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY B AO L E - H U U C.W. STONEKING | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY
This week, some heavy metal, ancient blues and a celebrity encounter.
C.W. STONEKING AT SOUNDBAR, JAN. 14
C.W. Stoneking is as much character as musician. He doesn’t just play his music, he embodies it. He is mythos personified, a figure manifested straight from the buried lore of the old American South. Among the many generations of folk revivalists, few truly venture past the dawning of rock & roll. Stoneking, however, mines pre-war traditions for his old-time gumbo of blues, jazz and Afro-Caribbean sounds. It’s a dive into America’s musical heritage that’s far back enough to make even William Elliott Whitmore seem like a hippie by comparison. On record, Stoneking’s music crackles with the mystique of early American roots music, tapping deep marrow that’s at once strange and familiar, like an unlocked portal to an obscure past. On stage, it’s legend that leaps to life in a cloud of dust and spell. In his Orlando debut, Stoneking came intimate and solo. Even without the considerable band flourishes and aged sonic treatments of his recordings, his fully self-sufficient guitar playing and toe-taps provide ample style and framing for his preternaturally seasoned voice, a thing so bewitching that Jack White spotlighted it on his last album, Boarding House Reach, in a spoken-word piece (“Abulia and Akrasia”). With essence this rich, all else is just garnish. On his own, Stoneking packs the concentrated atmosphere of an entire bygone era channeled through a single, haunted soul. Though loaded with devout study, his
C.W. Stoneking is as much character as musician. He is a figure manifested straight from the buried lore of the old American South
whole delivery and presentation are less about authenticity – whatever that is to you – as they are expression and evocation. Guaranteed, this Aussie doesn’t pillow-talk in that leathery, almost perfectly honed American backwater drawl. But on stage and record, Stoneking exudes theater. This isn’t a history book, it’s a storybook. There’s truth in there all right, it’s just spiced for maximum effect. However, off the stage, a surprise celebrity sighting made me do a dang cartoon double-take. Right there, sure as shit, watching Stoneking’s performance silently from the periphery of the audience, I spotted Nashville provocateur Makenzie Green. The most dangerous member of wildchild duo Birdcloud has kept a rather low profile since the band abruptly and mysteriously ceased in 2018, mere weeks after their last Orlando show. After a little detective work and then just straight-out asking her, it turns out she’s indeed active and still lurking the circuit, albeit in less spectacular fashion as Stoneking’s current tour manager. But besides filling me in a bit more about the Birdcloud fallout, she did say she’s itching to get back in the game so, holy lord, look out.
BLACK TUSK, ETHER COVEN AND ROYAL GRAVES AT WILL’S PUB, JAN. 15
Nothing, it seems, can stop Savannah sludge punks Black Tusk. After all these years, they’ve hardly tapped the brakes – on their music, their career or any goddamn thing whatsoever. Given their personal history, that’s a remarkable feat of not just stamina but determination. While their contemporaries have flirted with sonic expansion to varying degrees of success, Black Tusk have kept true to their foundational twin cams of metal and punk. Their latest burnout through Orlando proved that this ever-gunning group remain the most pedal-down hot rod of the great Georgia metal renaissance of this century. Fort Lauderdale’s Ether Coven, on the other hand, keep things heavy in not just their sound but their very mood. Although they come live with a more assertive step of doom and boom, a wide and pronounced emotional palette permeates the sludge. And it’s hella bummed. With songs that are odysseys that travel and devastate, these guys can spin a bout of depression into an epic. When last I saw Orlando doom-metal band Royal Graves back in 2018 at Doom on the Patio (a heavy edition of the recently departed Punk on the Patio), they had the right idea but were undercooked. Since then, they’ve crystallized and are ready to contend. They carry the melodic expanse of post-metal with sonic mass that overwhelms like a smothering moor fog. And it’s a crushing union of forlorn majesty and tonnage. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Southern Culture on the Skids MUSIC
Southern Culture on the Skids brings their Americana garage band flair back to Will’s Pub this week. You’d think that performing live for three decades would take a toll, but these rockabillies have stood their ground with an effortless edge that continues to fire up crowds across the nation. Best known for their 1995 single “Camel Walk,” SCOTS have laced their discography with surf-rock guitar riffs and multiple nods to their fried-chicken love affair. The band has gone from performing at hometown house parties in North Carolina to having their hits grace films like Dukes of Hazzard, but these days, they stick to the underground scene – though they sometimes amp up crowds of fifth-graders (including lead singer Rick Miller’s son) when the mood hits them. – Samantha N. Olson with Little Sheba & the Shamans | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $17-$20

Iliza Shlesinger COMEDY
OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK
38
It’s been two years since Iliza Shlesinger last performed here in Orlando, back in February 2018, and those have been, by all accounts, the best years of her life, on both a personal and professional level. Her first book, Girl Logic: The Genius and the Absurdity, had just been published In November 2017 (one of the final titles released by Weinstein Books), and she had wrapped production on her TV show Truth and Iliza, which aired on the Freeform network in summer 2017. Since then, she’s produced two stand-up specials for Netflix, Elder Millennial in 2018 and Unveiled in 2019, bringing her total number of specials to five. Best of all, she was married in May 2018, and she continues to help lead a wave of women who now effectively dominate stand-up. – Shelton Hull 7 & 9:30 p.m. | Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd. | 407-351-5483 | hardrock.com | $33-$63

Twerktopia EVENTS
Pro Bowl Weekend is an excuse for plenty of pop-up parties around town, but none grab more attention than the name Twerktopia. An all-out celebration of the dance style popularized by the New Orleans bounce scene – and almost murdered single-handedly by Miley Cyrus in 2013 – Twerktopia brings dancers, party lovers and spectators to a parking lot on Silver Star Road for a night of boy shorts and clapping cheeks. A host of DJs keep the party moving with hip-hop, R&B and trap tunes while hosts Kalmlee and IanTheIcon handle hosting duties. With a full bar available on site, Twerktopia has the potential to be the biggest moment for parking-lot twerking since Mr. Ghetto went to Wally Wally Wally Wally Wally Wally World. – Thaddeus McCollum 10 p.m. | 6145 Silver Star Road | thetwerktopia.com | $5-$10

NFL Pro Bowl SPORTS
The 2020 NFL Pro Bowl is coming to Orlando for its fourth consecutive year because apparently we haven’t learned our lesson. In football, it’s kind of the show you love to hate. To be fair, the event draws millions of viewers every year still and can make for a fun day of football-related experiences for fans. It also offers an opportunity for those unable to attend bigger games, like the Super Bowl, to see some of their favorite players in person, not that the event is meant as a consolation prize for missing the big game. But with rules like no motion by offense, a running back and a tight end in all formations, legal intentional grounding, no blitzing, and no rushing punts or kickoffs, hard-core football fans won’t be getting their fill, but should instead see it as more of an appetizer. – Lillian Hernández Caraballo 3 p.m. | Camping World Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place | 800-653-8000 | campingworldstadium.com | $29-$115

Lucifer MUSIC
PHOTO BY DIRK BEHLAU
You’ve got to hand it to diabolical Swedish hard-rock upstarts Lucifer. A lot of Euro rockers would be content to just do a brief East Coast tour of the U.S. and call it a day. But this outfit tacked on a clutch of tour dates in the South, always a test of a band’s mettle. Lucifer’s mettle (and metal) seem beyond reproach. Helmed by mainstay vocalist Johanna Sadoni (formerly of the Oath) and underground vet Nicke Andersson (Entombed, Hellacopters), Lucifer deal in Black Sabbath-style heft mixed with a dark theatricality that puts them a notch above the usual heads-down headbanging of their peers. To say nothing of the addition of Philip Shouse (Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons) to their live lineup for this tour. The band is touring behind Lucifer II, with their next album, Lucifer III, set to drop in March. So lighters out for the new numbers. – Matthew Moyer with Savage Master, Overdose | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $20

Songs From a Whole New World THEATER
Emerging fresh from the mind of Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw, Disney’s Aladdin comes to the Dr. Phillips Center this week. But the cast is also offering a fresh cabaret spin by presenting “Songs From a Whole New World” for a good cause. By teaming up with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, company members are breathing new life into Broadway hits and original works while generating proceeds that will go toward funding essential services for HIV/AIDS patients. Look forward to a unique musical experience curated by company members themselves. – Maya James 8 p.m. | The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive | 407-704-6103 | abbeyorlando.com | $10

Lucinda Williams MUSIC
Going all the way back to Mother Maybelle Carter, country music has historically fostered singular empowered women who created a niche unto themselves. Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris and K.D. Lang all obviously come to mind, but also deserving a spot in that company is the powerful dark horse of Lucinda Williams. A rich and evocative songwriter, she also possesses a voice that encompasses both strength and vulnerability, unblinking truth and sensitive wisdom. A music veteran in the truest sense, she began her music career in 1978 with the album Ramblin’, but it took a decade and Mary Chapin Carpenter covering her song “Passionate Kisses” to move her to the deserved headliner spotlight. Over time she has developed a soulful blend of country, folk, blues and rock that has become known colloquially as Americana. Many Grammy awards, accolades and Lincoln Center performances later, Lucinda Williams is still bringing a masterfully intimate touch to popular music with her songwriting. You can see this stalwart practitioner of American music as she comes through town on Tuesday. – Anthony Mauss with Buick 6 | 8 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N.

B Y DA N S AVAG E
I’m a 30-year-old bi man. I’ve been with my wife for five years, married nine months. A month into our relationship, I let her know that watching partners with other men has always been something I wanted and that sharing this had caused all my previous relationships to collapse. Her reaction was the opposite of what I was used to. She said she respected my kink, and we both agreed we wanted to solidify our relationship before venturing down the cuckold road. Fastforward a couple of years, and we are in a healthy relationship, living together, regularly visiting sex clubs (though playing only with each other), and beginning to add some cuckold dirty talk to our sex play. Then after I proposed, we got busy … with wedding plans. Sex and experimentation were set aside. Once we got married, we started … looking for a house. Sex again took a back seat. Life has settled down now, and when I bring up my desire to see her with other men, she tells me she’s willing, but the conversation quickly ends. I have suggested making profiles on various websites, but it doesn’t happen. Am I doing something wrong? I fear that saying, “Let’s make a profile right now,” is pushy, and I absolutely do NOT want to be the whiny and pushy husband. Any advice you might have would be amazing. Wannabe Cuckold Growing Frustrated Look, WCGF, some people mean it when they say, “We can have threesomes/go to BDSM parties/try cuckolding once our relationship is solid.” But some people don’t mean it. They tell their kinky and/or nonmonogamous partner what they want to hear in the hopes that after the wedding and the house and the kids, their husband and the father of their children (or their wife and the mother of their children) isn’t going to leave them over something as “trivial” as a threesome, a public spanking or cuckolding. Complicating matters further, some people say it and mean it and then change their mind. To figure out what’s going on (and to figure out whether you’re doing something wrong), you’re going to have to risk being a little pushy – not about putting up a profile, but about having a conversation. You’re ready for this to happen, she tells you she is willing, but nothing ever happens. If she does want it to happen, what steps can you take together to make it happen? If she doesn’t want it to happen – if she never wanted it to happen – you need her to level with you. Remember, WCGF, she’s the one being asked to take the risks here – it’s her picture you want to put on a profile, not yours; she’s the one who’s going to potentially be meeting up with strangers for sex, not you; she’s 46
the one who is risking exposure to STIs, not you. (Although you could wind up exposed, too, of course. But just because you’re comfortable with that risk doesn’t mean she is.) She also might worry that you’re going to want her to fuck other guys way more often than she’s comfortable with. There are a lot of solid reasons why she might have developed cold feet, and by addressing her concerns constructively – no face pics, no strangers, no cream pies, it can be a very occasional thing – you might make some progress. But if it turns out this isn’t something she wants to do – because she never did or because she changed her mind – then you have to decide whether going without being cuckolded is a price of admission you’re willing to pay to stay in this marriage. I did one of the things you always say is bad, immature and hurtful. I was a jerk to my girlfriend for weeks because I wanted her to break up with me. I know it was cowardly. I think she is a great woman, but I just wasn’t into the relationship and I let it go longer than I should have. I felt terrible that she loved me and I didn’t love her back, and I didn’t want to hurt her. My question is this: Why do you think sabotaging a relationship in this way is so bad? I’m glad she hates me now. She can feel anger instead of sadness. I didn’t want to be a “great guy” who did the right thing when the relationship needed to end. I want her to think I’m awful so she can move on with her life. If I said all the right things, that makes me more attractive and a loss. I’ve had women do that to me – break up with me the “right” way – and I respected them more and felt more in love with them and missed them more. I still think about them because they were so kind and respectful when they dumped me. I prefer the relationships I’ve had that ended with hatred, because at least I knew we weren’t good for each other and the end was no skin off my back. Isn’t it better this way? (I’ve got no sign-off that creates a clever acronym. Make one up if you want to publish my letter.) Annoying Shittiness Should Help Outraged Lovers Escape I did what I could with your sign-off. Being a jerk to someone you’re not interested in seeing anymore in the hopes that they’ll dump you is never OK. It’s certainly not a favor you’re doing them, ASSHOLE, if for no other reason than they’re unlikely to call it quits at the first sign of your assholery. When someone’s actions (jerkishness, assholery) conflict with their words (“I love you, too, sweetheart”), the person on the receiving end of crazy-making mixed messages rarely bolts immediately. They seek

reassurance. They ask the person who’s being an asshole to them if they’re still good, if everything’s OK, if they’re still in love. And those aren’t questions the person being an asshole can answer honestly, ASSHOLE, because honest answers would end the relationship. And that’s not how the asshole wants it, right? The asshole doesn’t want to honestly end things themselves; the asshole wants to dishonestly (and dishonorably) force the other person to end the relationship. So the asshole says we’re good, everything’s OK, I still love you, etc., and then dials the assholery up a little more. Does the other person bolt then? Nope. The other person asks all those same questions again, the asshole offers up the same lying assurances, and the other person asks again and is fed more lies. This sometimes goes on for years before the person being emotionally abused by a lying asshole decides they can’t take it anymore and ends the relationship – often over the objections of the person who wanted out all along! Gaslighting isn’t a term I throw around often or loosely, ASSHOLE, but what you describe doing – and what you’re attempting to rationalize as a gift of some sort – may be the most common form of gaslighting. Nothing about being gaslighted in this manner makes it easier to bounce back after a relationship ends. It makes it harder. Yeah, yeah, your ex “gets” to be mad at you, but she’s going to have a much harder time trusting anyone after dating you because your assholery will likely cause her to doubt her own judgment. (“This new guy says he loves me, but the last guy – that fucking asshole – said he loved me, over and over again, and it was a lie. What if this guy is lying to me, too?”) These brand-new insecurities, a parting gift from you, may cause her to end or sabotage relationships that could have been great. As for your worry that a person may wind up carrying a torch for an ex who ends things with kindness and respect, well, torches have a way of burning out over time, and it’s even possible to will yourself to set a torch down and walk away from it. But the kind of emotional damage done by actions likes yours, ASSHOLE? That shit can last a lifetime. On the “Lovecast,” erotic hypnosis with Michal Daveed: savagelovecast.com. mail@savagelove.net
