  • Concert: Original Chaos Plays Guns N' Roses at The Space

    Tenors of Rock players Dai Richards, Chris Cicchino and Tim Sorbs teamed with Atomic Saloon Show’s naughty cowboy Colin Scott Cahill to form classic rock cover outfit Original Chaos, which has been entertaining tourists with marathon weekend sets at the outdoor Carnaval Court bar at Harrah’s. This weekend the boys get to do what they want at the Space, and what they want is a front-to-back performance of Guns N’ Roses’ epic 1987 debut Appetite for Destruction. Cicchino shredding Slash’s classic solos will be worth the price of admission, in person or online. March 20, 8 p.m., $20 in person or $10 livestream, thespacelv.com. –Brock Radle

    Caught your breath from WandaVision? Marvel’s second Disney+ series, arriving mere weeks after the conclusion of its first, also continues stories begun in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. This time, it’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s Falcon, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) grudgingly joining forces to face down new threats. Expect movie-quality action and lots of fun bickering between two actors with great comic chemistry. Other returning performers from the Captain America movies include Daniel Brühl and Emily VanCamp. Fridays, Disney+.Geoff Carter

  • Podcast: The Food That Built America

    There are some brands so ingrained in our cultural identity that they’re instantly recognized all over the globe. Nothing’s more American than Coca-Cola, McDonald’s or Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. And this podcast—based on the History Channel documentary series—dives into the past to tell the origin stories of food-industry titans like John Pemberton, a morphine addict who invented Coke and then sold the formula, now worth $84 billion, for a measly $1,750 back in 1886.

  • TV: RuPaul's Drag Race

    RuPaul’s back for a socially distanced 13th season, and, despite the pandemic, the show is bigger and better than ever. Longtime fans will love the over-the-top outfits and larger-than-life attitude, but the latest Drag Race is also groundbreaking.
