Notes and Highlights of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s Live Update August 12, 2020
Notes and Highlights of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s Live Update August 12, 2020 Notes bymr_tyler_durdenand Daily Update Team Note: We may need to paraphrase, but the notes are accurate Watch here:
New deaths by county: 87 F Jefferson, 80 M Oldham, 71 M Barren, 73 F Christian, 85 F Jefferson, 71 M Meade, 75 F Fayette
Second, we want to give an update on our travel advisory. This is when we ask Kentuckians not to travel to certain states because they have a really, really high percentage of positives throughout their state, more than 15% (percent). Here are the new states that currently fall within it. Again, cancel your vacation. With everything we’re trying to do and everything we’re trying to get back to, with us making a push to decrease and get a hold of our cases, every time you travel to Florida, risk exposing yourself, but also your community when you return.
Do you know how much of today’s count is a result of the undercount and with those numbers, how can you say masking is working? -- We believe of today’s- you know it’s really hard to, today either we would have the 1,163 today or doing our best we would have it roughly 1,092 two days ago- and so the difference in the 7 day average is gonna be relatively unchanged.
Going back to schools, What are your thoughts on public schools that think they might move on ahead? Or even give students an option to opt-out of those classes? -- I hope they will reconsider and follow what I think is a well-thought out plan that provides the best safety not just for their kids but also for their teachers. These opt-out plans, where a family can choose not to or a family takes the risk on, doesn't opt out the employees of that school, doesn’t opt out the grandparents who might have that reaction, doesn’t opt out everybody else that’s going to be touched and impacted by it. It doesn’t opt out businesses that could lose a quarter of their workforce if a large group of their students and their families have to quarantine.
Today we are showing our spirit by sharing the Ludlow Panther mask. This is from the Ludlow Panther school district, sent to us, we want to show our support for our public schools, the fact that we are going to work with them to safely get our kids back to in-person classes. We will talk a little bit about that as we proceed.
Let me start by thanking everyone who was sending me thoughts yesterday during what was a nerve racking time for both myself and mainly my family, especially waiting to see about my kids. I’m happy to report that both the first lady and I, our kids, and everyone that is working around us tested negative for COVID yesterday but we tried to take every precaution that we would want anyone else to do. That is, immediately upon starting to feel a little different, a little bad, and my wife did the same, of immediately making sure that we weren't in a position to spread the virus. I’m back at about 80%, but 80% some days is what I'm going to have to make sure we can continue our fight against COVID.
I want to start out today with positive news- we all like and want to hear positive news. And today it’s about AD Districts, our Area Development Districts, that carry out such an important purpose in KY. The Dept of local government was just awarded $6M from the Economic Development to reimburse our 15 area development districts for expenses related to COVID-19. Funding will be apportioned evenly totally roughly $390M per AD. The AD’s are invaluable partners, they foster important relationships, create strategies, and economic development opportunities across the Commonwealth. The EDA recognizes the urgency to address the economic hardship caused by COVID-19 and this is going to help some of our most important entities out there.
So they made this funding non competitive, and available to former recipients with the ability to respond quickly to the pandemic. Our AD Districts are the perfect candidates to do just that. They’ve worked hard to develop and help our families through the pandemic by delivering meals to senior citizens- over a million meals, much more now, have now been delivered. Providing support for local businesses and so much more. With this funding I’m confident that this group will continue to help our communities, both to get through COVID-19 and to plan for a very bright future afterwards. So the AD Districts are going to use this money to fund regional disaster economic, recovery coordinators for a 2 year period, develop a disaster resiliency economic plan focused on pandemic recovery, improves short term and long term economic development plans, provide technical assistance and capacity for building up local governments and businesses impacted, and offer organizational support for COVID-19 responses. Again, I want to thank everyone who helped make this happen all across KY. We see various entities, stepping up, filling the gaps, helping out Kentuckians, and we see the federal government recognizing them whether it’s in CHFS and some announcements we had the other day, or whether it’s the great work of our AD Districts. I like to say, this isn’t money given, this is money earned. And our AD Districts have earned it.
Second, we want to give an update on our travel advisory. This is when we ask Kentuckians not to travel to certain states because they have a really, really high percentage of positives throughout their state, more than 15% (percent). Here are the new states that currently fall within it. Again, cancel your vacation. With everything we’re trying to do and everything we’re trying to get back to, with us making a push to decrease and get a hold of our cases, every time you travel to Florida, risk exposing yourself, but also your community when you return.
So today’s update is both good news and bad news and the bad news is pretty tough. I believe today will be our single highest number of cases that we have had.
Positive cases today: 1,163 - This includes numbers we would have expected today as well as those that we had not gotten through because of the glitch that we talked about a couple of days before. Our original plan was to try to allocate those over the last couple of days where we thought they would have come in and what we learned was it wouldn’t make a difference. Either we would have this number today or, I think, yesterday was going to be over 1,000 as well. The most accurate thing we can do in the way that we’ve reported as to when they are processed by us, they go on to our site. Today we set a record we never wanted to set and we never wanted to get over 1,000 cases.
Probable cases: 2,530
Total confirmed cases: 36,945
Children Under 5: 39 Kids. The youngest is about 3 months- but we are continuing seeing a surge in our young people testing positive.
Total tests conducted: 717,370 (PCR: 672,245, Serology: 44,569)
Positivity Rate: 5.62% This is positive news, we need to get it lower though. It is still much higher than we would like and it makes it unsafe, in the current environment, to engage in some activities.
Total hospitalized: 4,091
Currently hospitalized: 683
Total in ICU: 1,279
Currently in ICU: 143
Currently on a Ventilator: 95 - That’s a tough number. We want to think about all of those individuals.
Total recovered: 8,893
New deaths today: 7
Total Deaths: 790
New deaths by county: 87 F Jefferson, 80 M Oldham, 71 M Barren, 73 F Christian, 85 F Jefferson, 71 M Meade, 75 F Fayette
All losses are a loss for Kentucky. Let’s light those houses up green and let’s ring those bells at 10am. This is a reminder that we are thinking of the Kentuckians we’ve lost, their families, and their communities. It’s the color of compassion and renewal as their souls move from their bodies to a better place.
Racial breakdown of all cases: 78.79% Caucasian, 12.38% Black or African-American, 2.24% Asian, 6.00% Multiracial
Ethnicity breakdown of all cases: 86.63% non-Hispanic and 13.37% Hispanic
Racial breakdown of all deaths: 81.46% Caucasian, 14.42% Black or African-American, 1.51% Asian, 2.61% Multiracial
Ethnicity breakdown of all deaths: 96.12% non-Hispanic and 3.88% Hispanic
Long Term Care Facilities: 21 new residents and 7 new staff positive from yesterday, 1 more death, and 3 fewer facilities.
Total facilities: 281
Total deaths: 495
Total recovered: 3,322
Active cases: 389 residents, 246 staff
Total cases: 2,823 residents, 1,629 staff
Now when we talk about 1,100 new cases and 7 new deaths again we get caught up in the numbers. Are the numbers going down? What’s the positivity rate? I really want us to remember these are people. And by now, they’re people that you know, that I know. I have a friend that is on a ventilator right now that I’ve known for about 10 years and she’s fighting for her life, and I'm praying for her everyday. Across the Commonwealth, these are people that we know, and that we care about. And their battle is real, and I'll tell you based on yesterday with just a scare, what people go through mentally and physically when they contract this virus is something that we have got to make sure that we consider when we make all of these decisions. When I think about 900 kids, teachers, and families quarantining in one Georgia school district, there's a lot of trauma that’s going along with each of these families. There are a lot of businesses in that district that are not going to have workers show up because that whole family is at home. And we need to make sure as we make these complicated decisions, we also think about all the emotional and mental trauma widespread quarantining does, and to make sure that we are doing things at a time where we can minimize the risk of spread and for people having to go through that.
But today we are honoring William “Curtiss” Ice who died at 72 in Bardstown. After fighting a hard-fought battle with COVID-19, William Ice, or Curtis or PawPaw, passed away at 72. Born in Nelson County, Curtiss served as a guardsmen in the KY Battalion 138 field artillery before a career as a manufacturing engineer for GE. After retiring Curtiss returned to his passion of farming where he remained active in agriculture and beef cattle until he passed. Above all else, Curtiss was proud of his family and loved helping people in need. People who knew him would describe him as intelligent and down right jolly. You would often see him supporting his grandchildren through sports or academics or using his leadership qualities in organizations throughout the area. Curtiss is survived by his loving wife of 49 years- Wanda, his 3 children, 7 grandchildren, and 10 siblings.
I know family friends of Curtiss and of that family. They talk about him glowingly. And originally, I think this is a family, that because of the stigma that may come with COVID was wondering about sharing this, but I know in the end they chose to honor their grandad, their PawPaw, their dad, their husband, and I hope that serves as an example the fact that we cannot, allow those that are suffering from this, or have lost from this to suffer any for of stigma. I mean this family has lost enough. So make sure we take all of our energy and put it into lighting those green lights, that we ring those bells at 10am, that we send nothing but positive thoughts to this family to all of his relatives, let’s make sure we remember him, and everyone else for the people they were and how they lived. And not simply that COVID contributed to their passing. Today we remember Curtiss.
Now given that we’ve had 1,163 new cases today, I wanna make sure that I still emphasize that I believe masks are working. Where we were headed, and at the end of this week, I think we will still be able to show you that we are not on that exponential trajectory that we were on but that doesn’t mean that just because we found something that works and works well that it’s gonna work overnight, or even work within one week. One of the reasons I made the recommendation I made on Monday, and I’ll talk about it in a little but, is we simply need more time. To make sure we can get this virus under control, so that we can safely welcome children back in their classroom. It’s something we're seeing in the data. And while I believe that facial coverings and other steps are working, it doesn’t mean it makes things safe overnight. It doesn’t. Right now we have so much of this virus out there and spreading. We need that couple of weeks, we need that time to make sure there’s less of it in our community. Because even if we wear masks, if there’s a ton around us, there is still a higher probability that we will get it than if we allow this work for a little bit longer and we tamp it down it will significantly help stop the spread.
I’m going to talk a little about schools, and I know there will be a lot of questions about that. Then I will go deep in the weeds to talk about what the Department of Fish and Wildlife is doing. I know for most of you, all that is going to be further in the weeds of government than many of you want to go so this is the only time I’ll say this: After we get done with the school part if you turn it off I won’t be upset at all.
On schools, listen, Monday was tough. I know Tuesday was tough for a lot of reasons. And I know today was tough too. It’s tough because as a parent, I desperately want to get my kids back in class. Distance learning is not the same. My kids are of the age where they are losing out on important developmental opportunities, where not going to school impacts their emotional health. I’m sure they’ve fallen behind in a lot of their classes. I’m not just somebody sitting over in the governor’s office or in an ivory tower making decisions without knowing the personal toll that it takes, and going through the worry I go through every day of them not being there. Growing up, school was one of the most important things taught to me about its importance, by my parents, we are an education-first family and we always will be. I believe our school system is the most important system in place in KY. But I had to make my recommendation on Monday because I have a responsibility. I have the responsibility as the Governor of KY to make the toughest calls and to take whatever comes with it. Being a parent that desperately wants them to get back in school but I also know that right now COVID is as hot as a firecracker in KY. That we are, what I hope is the peak, heck we just had the largest number of cases today, and if we allocated them over the last 3 days then we would have had the largest number of cases 2 days ago. Regardless, this is where we are. And the idea that we would take this step while we are at our peak? Simply not a smart move to make. Here’s the other thing, when we moved to reopen the economy, we decided we weren’t going to be the fastest. We were going to be the smartest. And we were going to learn from other state’s mistakes, so that we could do it better. School districts that will be opening Monday the 17th or next week are gonna be some of the earliest in the country. Which means we are not going to see the mistakes that other groups will make and learn from it. That means these districts will make mistakes with the health, and hopefully not, the lives of the students and teachers and how about the highest number of grandparents per capita raising their grandkids that we have in KY verses anywhere else. All the recommendation is, is a chance to make sure it’s moving it a month for most schools. One month. And that’s just with in-person learning, start with distance learning, but move it one month so we can see mistakes that other schools make, so we can avoid mass quarantines where, 800-900 in one school district are home, we don’t know how many have the virus but they aren’t leaving their house for 10 days. I don’t believe we gamble or experiment with our kids. And while we are all desperate to get it back, I also want it to work. I’ve heard from a lot of school districts, and they are right, they have put a lot of time into their plans and we appreciate it. They are going to need it because even September 28th we are still going to be dealing with COVID. But even the very best plans aren’t going to work if the virus is at such a level that it’s gonna overwhelm even the best of plans. I want our schools, when they return to in-person classes, to be successful. I want them to be able to create the type of environment that they do, I want our teachers to be able to do the amazing work that they do, for our principles to run, what I think are some of the best schools in the country. I love our educators and what they do. But I want to make sure they’re safe, and that we have a real chance of success. So I'd like to think that while it stirs a lot of passions, that we all agree, we don’t want to be the canary in the coal mine with our kids. That the states that we would be starting at the same time with are states like GA, FL, TX, and we saw what them trying to be first in other areas did. And that we just be smart about this. That’s all we’re asking right now- is one month. One month to not make mistakes with the health of our children, their parents, or our teachers. And this is not just some parent choice issue, to accept the risk for your kids, and by the way, this isn’t like letting your kids play in the rain, where there is a risk they can get a cold but you choose to take it, but this is sending your children out at the height of a lightning storm. That’s where we are with COVID. But that decision isn’t just that family’s decision, it’s a decision that impacts teachers, that impacts janitors, that impacts bus drivers, and it can impact the entire community around them. And, can have a massive impact if we see the levels of quarantine we are seeing in other places. And for those counties, that think there’s not an issue there? There’s at least one county that’s talking about going forward that is in the “red”, (corrects himself: 2) over 10% positivity rate according to the WH, and there’s a number of others in the “yellow”, which is between 5-10%, what’s the testing plan? I mean if you’re going to go ahead when it’s hot, I would hope you have testing plans for your teachers. So, listen, I want to get my kids back as much as you do. And this isn’t about- I mean suddenly this is a political thing too. I’m trying to make the best recommendation, that’s what it is, I’m not shutting a school down that doesn’t agree with it. Unless, of course, they have a massive outbreak and they’re not doing the right things and the health department doesn’t do it. If somebody opens and has a huge outbreak, and it’s threatening the lives of people, we’ll take the steps we have to to protect our kids and teachers. I mean my goodness. Let’s step back, let’s step back and let’s do the right thing to make sure we are truly putting our children first and we will get them back to in-person classes. I want to get them back to in-person classes but let’s be wise about how we do it.
(Governor Beshear speaks in depth on the Department of Fish and Wildlife. We decided to skip this segment and rest our fingers for the questions section since it’s not COVID-19 specific. You can watch this here)
QUESTIONS
Apparently Senator McConnell called another round of aid to states “A slush fund” on the floor today? -- I think those are very unfortunate comments. Certainly that hasn’t been a part of any of our discussion or our staff. State stabilization is needed so we can fully fund education. So we can ensure people have healthcare during this crisis. So that we can afford our economic development tax incentives, So that we can move our state forward. It’s similar to what happened in 2009, and you didn’t see any “slush fund”. You found us making sure that the economy didn’t collapse further. This is absolutely necessary aid and it’s not just blue states or red states, it’s in every state. And to claim that they aren’t going to give it because of “years of fiscal mismanagement” in different places, fine, say that we have to use it all in certain areas that makeup the vast majority of our budget. Say that we need to use it in education, in Medicaid, in law enforcement, in others, but no, if we don’t get this, Kentuckians will suffer. I don’t know if it will be like bankrupting the Commonwealth but it won’t be helpful. I hope this is a negotiating tactic and that’s it.
On schools: The Diocese of Lexington announced that their catholic schools would begin in person classes. What’s your take on that? And also, are there any more recommendations that they need to consider? -- Let me say I disagree with their decision, I don't believe it’s safe. We just had 1,100 cases. I hope this is the hottest time we have on the spread of COVID but opening when number 1, we haven’t seen the mistakes made by other school districts and number 2 the peak (not having seen it), I don’t believe it’s a responsible decision. I don’t believe they think they are intentionally making a decision that- and I sure they don’t believe it is unsafe. I think there are good plans out there but if the rate of how things are spreading and just the amount of COVID, especially right now in Fayette County with as large as it is, it can overwhelm the best plan and I want their plan to work when they open. So I certainly hope that if they decide to open at this time that they regularly test teachers and students. I know some private schools and I think some catholic schools have had trouble with COVID in sports teams. I think that says something, but not doing this right right now, can have a major impact on their community. I hope that given today that they will reconsider. Again, we’re asking for one month that will help us better protect the lives of our kids and of their teachers. And finally I’d say to them, I want my children back in school as much as any other parent. But I am making what I truly believe, based on all the advice I have been given, is the right recommendation even though it’s gonna be an unpopular one, my job during this crisis is to do the best I can and not worry about the popularity piece.
Have you talked to any of the schools that have decided to go back early? One is going to use the “pod” system, and another is cutting off the number of students in the classrooms, does that make anybody feel better, that they kinda went with a daycare type plan?-- So any school that decides to go back, I want to use the best practices. I don’t want them to fail. I worry that at this point, I’m convinced that it’s going to be very hard in this week and in the next week to do it successfully, but any extra step they’re going to take- I want them to take, because I want the students there to be safe and their teachers. The more “pod” you can do, the smaller the number of kids, the better. I’m not going to argue with the steps being made, because again, I’m not worrying about being right, I’m worried about our kids being safe. If folks are going to make a decision that I think is the wrong decision, I at least hope they do everything they can to protect the kids.
I’m hearing from people, people who signed up for the test and ended up not going and received letters saying they were positive. It has happened at least 3 times that I’ve heard of Jefferson, Christian, Hopkins -- If you can, Tom, get that letter. These things have popped up before, when we have learned about these specific examples, and we request to see those- and when you read through the entire letter there is a lot more language in there that talks about why the statement was made at the top and the fact that they missed an appointment and what else it can mean. So if you can, get those, because if that issue is out there we wanna stop it and we want to address it. But the ones where we have seen an actual letter in, thus far, have a lot more information when you go further down it.
How did today’s meeting with the Sec of State go? How close are we to reaching an agreement on the general election? -- This is about the Sec. of State and I meeting, or you could say negotiating, I like to think we are working together, on creating a safe environment for our elections, and hopefully continuing what we’ve seen which is a lot of success, in having more people than just about ever, vote. We had a very productive meeting. I believe we are very close to coming to an agreement, I think he said 48 hours to someone earlier, and I think that’s fair and reasonable. And it was more of a discussion than a negotiation. I think we have a lot of the same ultimate goals, and right now I am confident we can reach a good agreement. I don’t want to get into the particulars we are talking on now, I want to hash those out. I believe that we can come to a good resolution. He is acting in good faith in all of our negotiations and I think I am too.
Why is it safe to allow 23,000 fans at Derby and not have schools have in-person classes on the same day? -- This is one of those false equivalencies that we talk about where people say, if I can go to Walmart, my kid can be in school for 6 hours amongst the same group and have that extra exposure. So, right now, it looks like Churchill Downs will be down to less than 15 percent occupancy in their facilities. I don’t know of a school plan that is going down to 15% capacity. Most of those people are being moved outside and are being spread out significantly in my understanding of the plan. Again I think it’s a really false equivalency over 200+ acres at 15% capacity to say that is somehow the equivalent of kids being in schools and listen, those that are upset about starting hopefully with in-person learning, and then pushing it back one month, they can point to Derby or Walmart, what I’d ask them, “is one month worth it? To learn the mistakes that others are making and make sure they’re not making those mistakes on your kids or mine?” it certainly is to me. And I think it's the right decision from a public health standpoint and we can change our calendar as needed to make sure we get as many instruction days back in. We are also going to learn some from other schools that open. I hope those schools that open are really honest when they have the positives that they're going to take this step and when that happens that they put people’s health first.
Do you know how much of today’s count is a result of the undercount and with those numbers, how can you say masking is working? -- We believe of today’s- you know it’s really hard to, today either we would have the 1,163 today or doing our best we would have it roughly 1,092 two days ago- and so the difference in the 7 day average is gonna be relatively unchanged. And remember we look at these through the week. We have lower numbers on Sunday and Monday, we have a lot more that come in in the middle of the week. I think we need to look at where we are at the end of the week. Can you put the stair-stepper graph up? The one with purple steps?. . So the reason we think that masks are working, isn’t because we immediately have fewer cases. It’s that we are stopping the escalation. So we were going increase over increase, over increase. 40%, 50%, truly headed towards the type of spike we saw in other states. This isn’t the one, this is missing this week. I’d say come on Kenneth, but it’s James... The reason is we have stopped the type of exponential growth that we were seeing. And the reason is definitely wearing a mask. Now where are we gonna plateau? Are we going to plateau or are we going to continue to go up by 4%, 5%? Listen, that’s a heck of a lot better than 52% and so that’s how we can show that masks are working but you don’t immediately start heading back down.
Do you believe the Supreme Court’s Eviction Diversion Pilot Project in Jefferson County is a sufficient substitute for the Indefinite Evictions Moratorium? -- I believe that this is a very good program. It’s got some dollars that have been put up by Jefferson County and their CARES Act. I think it will resolve a lot of the claims, to where, instead of just a moratorium, people will come out of this epidemic not way behind and not immediately needing to catch up. We have in fact, are in talks in the supreme court, about being able to do more of this statewide, what it would do, is create a third party that could truly get people to the right place. We hope to have more news in the near future about coming to a resolution on where evictions are, that will protect people, that will make sure people aren’t gaming the system, and also help make up for the lost revenue for those that have been patient and reasonable- but their businesses have been hurting too.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Here today to post about the Bridgeport Casino - not a ton of photos, so bear with me. Waterloo and Berlin were thought to be prudish around the early/mid 1900s, and Bridgeport thought to be a little wild. So if you wanted to do some drinking and have fun, you'd head to Bridgeport. If you read my last post, you'll know you could take the Berlin and Bridgeport Electric Railway into Bridgeport. Who was an owner of the railway other than Mr. W. Breithaupt, who not only wanted to see the success of the railway, but wanted to bring people into Bridgeport. That's how Riverside Park and the Bridgeport Casino were conceived. The "casino" pavilion was built around 1903 and looked like this. As it grew, it boasted entertainment features like a bowling alley, shooting gallery, picnic space, rollerskating, etc. It was not a casino in the gambling sense, although that probably happened secretly, too. It was primarily a dance hall with polished wood floors so shiny you could slide from one end to the other. A 40 foot stairway led people down to a cable-operated ferry, for more fun like fishing and swimming aside the Grand. This article has some additional description and photos. Other fun stuff to take place: a rope-walker who crossed the Grand in the dark on a lit rope; rifle shooting competitions; replays of the Kentucky Derby... Back to that gambling bit - in 1962, several people were brought to trial over running a gaming house at the casino, secretly providing alcohol, strippers and gambling to rented parties. In the 40s, streetcar service to Bridgeport ended and although the casino and park were not sold, the name sort of died. It was owned by several different people over those years, but kept the use of a hall for dances and weddings with the exception of being a slipper manufacturer in the 30s. Interesting change. That lasted until the mid-70s, when it was bought up by a dishwasher who turned it into... Golf's Steak House! The place that takes you back in time, with an exceptional view of the Grand to boot. That may help to visualize the casino. Pretend you're at a raucous 1915 dance party next time you cut into your steak :)

SPECIAL EVENTS
Ragtag Cinema presents 'Altman' with director, Ron Mann, Tuesday 6:30 PM. In this engrossing, impressionistic documentary, filmmaker Ron Mann pays tribute to the Missouri-born maverick Robert Altman. This visionary director, who died in 2006, guides us through his own story, which begins in prohibition-era Kansas City, where he was born to an insurance salesman with a penchant for gambling. Mann talks to Altman's family members and many of his collaborators, including Lily Tomlin and Elliott Gould, as he delves into the director's career highs (e.g. MAS*H) and lows (e.g. Popeye). Altman is the perfect way to kick off our mini-retrospective of Altman, which begins on Wednesday, May 4 with a 35mm screening of California Split, which will also be introduced by Ron Mann.
Ragtag Cinema presents 'California Split' with Ron Mann in person Wednesday 6:30 PM. This blissful buddy comedy opens in a California card room, where a colorful cast of poker players partake in tense matches. In the middle of one heated round, two strangers - Charlie (Elliott Gould), a magnetic and carefree gambler, and Bill (George Segal), a jaded magazine journalist - are wrongly accused of collusion. They run into one another at the bar, bond over one too many drinks and are soon inseparable gambling partners.

MOVIE GUIDE 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE - A young woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is forced to cope with her new life after waking up from a nearly fatal accident in this thriller from director Dan Trachtenberg. After narrowly avoiding serious injuries in a car wreck, Michelle (Winstead) awakens in the care of a man who claims to have found her at the scene, and who brought her to his home after a catastrophic chemical attack devastated the surrounding area. BARBERSHOP: THE NEXT CUT - In this sequel, Calvin (Ice Cube), Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), and the rest of the crew at the barbershop are now working alongside a number of female hairdressers. Soon, they are all forced to band together to help save their failing neighborhood. BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE - Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) clash over differing philosophies about what kind of heroism is needed to protect the world, while the public they're defending is becoming increasingly mindful of the damage that superheroes and masked vigilantes cause. However, the duo are soon forced to confront an even greater threat created by nefarious billionaire Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). THE BOSS - Hugely successful businesswoman Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) is convicted of insider trading and sentenced to prison. After being released, she is forced to move in with a long-suffering employee of hers (Kristen Bell), and tries to earn redemption and revamp her public image by helping a group of young girls in their quest to sell brownies. CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR - In this superhero epic, the denizens of the Marvel Universe are forced to pick sides when Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) come to blows over ideological differences. After a mission involving a new Avengers squad led by Cap ends with several civilian casualties in Lagos, the team are asked to sign an agreement that would force them to take orders from a United Nations panel. Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) pressures Cap to accept this new arrangement, in part because he feels deeply guilty about his own past recklessness; Captain America, however, fears that the Avengers will only be corrupted by bureaucracy. Their disagreement eventually escalates into all-out war when Cap's old friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), now a brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Soldier, reenters the picture. EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! - Following the success of Bernie and Boyhood, writer-director Richard Linklater is back with his long-anticipated spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused. Set in Texas during the 1980s, Everybody Wants Some!! is a sublime hangout movie built around the shenanigans of cocky yet endearing college baseball players, who are played by a superb, fresh-faced ensemble cast. GREEN ROOM - This taut and exhilarating horror-thriller follows a young punk rock band, The Ain't Rights, on their way to a last-minute gig at a divey club in the backwoods of Oregon. They arrive to find an audience of neo-Nazis. After their inflammatory set, The Ain't Rights encounter something they weren't supposed to see and are soon forced to face off against the club's owner (a terrifying Patrick Stewart) and his henchmen. Who will win? Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots and Alia Shawkat co-star in this latest film from Ragtag favorite Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin). Fair warning: contains some graphic images. THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR - Freya the Ice Queen (Emily Blunt) brings her sister Ravenna (Charlize Theron) back to life, and the powerful evil siblings plan to conquer the Enchanted Forest. Only the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) and his secret lover Sara (Jessica Chastain) can stop them in this sequel continuing the inventive twist on the Snow White fable. THE JUNGLE BOOK - Jon Favreau directs this stunning reimagining of the classic Rudyard Kipling tale The Jungle Book, Neel Sethi plays the orphaned Mowgli, who's raised in the jungle with the help of talking animals. KEANU - Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele star in this comedy as two friends posing as drug dealers to get back a stolen cat. MIDNIGHT SPECIAL - In rural Texas, a father named Roy (Michael Shannon) realizes his young son Alton (Jaeden Lieberher) possesses otherworldly powers. Soon, Roy and Alton find themselves on the run, first from religious extremists and then, once an Amber Alert is issued, from local authorities. Written and directed by Jeff Nichols (Mud), this mysterious and enthralling film recalls Spielberg's science-fiction masterpieces. MILES AHEAD - In celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month, Ragtag is proud to partner with "We Always Swing" Jazz Series to present Miles Ahead. Don Cheadle directs and stars in this energetic, freewheeling portrait of the iconic musician Miles Davis. Miles Ahead is set in the late 1970s, during Davis’ five-year hiatus. When a persistent Rolling Stone reporter (Ewan McGregor) shows up at his door, Davis brings him on a journey to demand royalty money from his Columbia bosses. Cheadle’s inspired film then morphs into a caper of sorts. MOTHER’S DAY -This star-studded ensemble comedy tells a series of interlocking stories about motherhood. A divorced mother of two (Jennifer Aniston) falls for a guy with two kids of his own (Jason Sudeikis), a young woman (Britt Robertson) tries to find her biological mom (Julia Roberts), and an overstressed mother (Kate Hudson) is visited by her bickering parents. RATCHET & CLANK - Join impetuous "lombax" Ratchet (voice of James Taylor Arnold) and his brainy robot sidekick Clank (voice of David Kaye) as they embark on their biggest adventure ever in this irreverent adapation of the Insomniac Games videogame franchise.
