Sports Rush: Batting From Both Sides

2 days ago | fwweekly.com | Rush Olson

Curtis Wilkerson, Cecil Espy, and Mark McLemore know about being versatile with a bat in their hands. All three switch-hit during their big league baseball careers, accumulating more than 11,000 combined Major League plate appearances. But when I handed them a bat at the end of some Q&A sessions I conducted with them this week, they all looked at it strangely. “Am I doing it right?” asked Wilkerson as he fiddled with it. The bat I’d handed them wasn’t the kind they were used to.

Double D BBQ, 28510 N US Hwy 377, Bluff Dale. 817-202-5981When it comes to music venues, there’s unassuming, and then there’s Double D BBQ. Still, for a food trailer parked next to a former flower shop on Highway 377 in unincorporated Bluff Dale between Granbury and Stephenville, this little place seems to have something going on. Just a couple of years into its existence, owner Dana Deatherage’s labor of love got tagged as Listening Room of the Year for 2025 by the Texas Music Chart Awards.
Sports Rush: Deuces Wild For USMNT

6 days ago | fwweekly.com | Rush Olson

Saturday night, a soccer podcast discussed how a number of the USMNT’s best players had come through the North Texas area in their development path. The discussion included names like Weston McKinnie, Ricardo Pepi, and Chris Richards, the goal scorer in Thursday’s 1-0 win against Saudi Arabia in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Elio: We Are Not Alone

1 week ago | fwweekly.com | Kristian Lin

After Coco and Encanto, Elio is the third Pixar movie in the last eight years pitched at Spanish-speaking audiences, and if it is the least of those, it deserves to be mentioned alongside them. What’s frustrating is that it comes so close to greatness, or at least really goodness. However, it spends enough time headed to that place to warrant the ticket prices for you and your child.
28 Years Later: Memento Mori

1 week ago | fwweekly.com | Kristian Lin

Okay, this is easy. We’re getting more entertainment about the long-term effects of zombies because we ourselves survived a global plague that has killed some 7 million people. Thus, the TV shows The Walking Dead and The Last of Us, and now the 28 Days Later series have all reckoned with how people have adjusted to the reality of zombies and carried on, or failed to.

Ushering In

Kiba Walker has done community events in Fort Worth before but never a theater show. The nonbinary actor says they love working with Circle Theatre, the downtown space where the show they’re referring to will open this weekend and run through mid-July. Circle, Walker said, is “so professional, and [Artistic Director] Ashley White has made a safe space for a sensitive show.
Fly the Colors

1 week ago | fwweekly.com | Rush Olson

At the end of a Dallas Wings’ recent practice, Head Coach Chris Koclanes gathered his team at center court. He instructed them to continue to “build” their “identity.” He urged the squad to play unselfishly, share the ball, and do all the things he felt necessary to make that identity a winning one. That Sunday, the franchise that employs Koclanes and his players was hosting an event they hoped would be indicative of the organization’s identity as a whole. They staged their annual Pride Game.

Materialists: Miss Match

2 weeks ago | fwweekly.com | Kristian Lin

They’re selling Materialists as some plush New York dating comedy for the crowd that would have followed Sex and the City back in its day (as opposed to its current sequel). I’m here to tell you that it’s not that. No, underneath this movie’s posh interiors and Hollywood star power is a story that’s hard-headed to the point of cynicism about love and marriage. So this isn’t the movie that’s being sold to you. It’s something better, and one of the best movies I’ve seen this year.
