An even better deal than TDF.
CNN, June 7.
The news station will be livestreaming George Clooney’s penultimate performance in this Tony-nominated show, sparing anyone who did not want to shell out for movie-star-on-Broadway ticket prices. Most important, audiences now get to realize that Paul Gross is in this! —Kathryn VanArendonk

Pro or con?
MCC Theater, June 5 through July 13.
In Emmanuelle Mattana’s comedy, imported from Australia, a group of femme and nonbinary performers play an all-male high school’s debate team charged with arguing whether feminism failed women. Danya Taymor (The Outsiders) directs a cast that includes The Gilded Age’s Louisa Jacobson and Mattana herself. —Jackson McHenry

Lo-fi in hi-res.
Metrograph, June 7 and 8.
Eventually, everything becomes the stuff of nostalgia — even the most millennial of lo-fi film movements. The theater’s mumblecore series begins with this 2007 movie, which features none other than Barbie director Greta Gerwig in her first starring role as a directionless intern spending the summer in Chicago. —Alison Willmore

From a director known for revivifying opera.
David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center, June 18 through 21.
Baritone Davóne Tines and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo take the leads in composer George Lewis’s mash-up of Monteverdi’s 1642 opera The Coronation of Poppea and W.E.B. Du Bois’s short story “The Comet.” The production is the work of director Yuval Sharon, who seems constantly to be reinventing the genre. —Justin Davidson

Daring, colorful works.
Greene Naftali, 508 West 26th Street; though June 21.
This artist sticks to her avant-garde guns, firing at will with drawings and sculptures of polystyrene, cardboard, and wood with enamel and acrylic paint. Her work is ravishing; it’s also rigorous and challenging, an amalgam of old master and scribbly novelty. —Jerry Saltz

The author of Emma lives on and on.
The Morgan Library & Museum, June 6 through September 14.
How is it that Jane Austen continues to be such a captivating force in the literary world? This show will provide clues with artifacts from her home in Chawton, England, many never exhibited in the U.S. before, along with books, artworks, and four of the six unauthorized manuscripts of the 1816 printing of Emma whereby American readers first learned of this brilliant writer. —Wendy Goodman

It doesn’t get cozier than this.
Acorn TV, June 9.
Here’s a fun twist on a familiar formula: Stephen Moyer and Nina Singh star as a pair of cops investigating crimes in the U.K.’s hoity-toity art world. Fake goods, stolen goods, murdered-for goods … all are represented in the series’ episodic format. It’s a classier version of a CBS procedural. —Roxana Hadadi

Desperate measures.
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, June 13.
The New York City AIDS Memorial and the National AIDS Memorial are presenting this free screening of Matt Nadel’s short documentary about “AIDS profiteering” during the early ’90s, when dying patients sold their life-insurance policies for money up front to speculators who’d cash them out for their full value after a death. —A.W.

Remaking old Macheath.
Little Island, through June 15.
The Beggar’s Opera is pretty much always relevant, having also inspired Brecht and Weill’s Weimar-era satire The Threepenny Opera. Here, Kate Tarker, Dan Schlosberg, and Dustin Wills take a swing at a new adaptation, transposed to 1850s Manhattan and performed appropriately (or ironically?) at the chic locale of Little Island. And tickets are cheap! —J.M.

Stephen King suspends again.
Scribner.
Holly Gibney fans, the “World’s Greatest Detective” is out of town … on bodyguard duty? Oh, and there’s a local case (the Surrogate Juror Murders) she isn’t working on, but her protégés are — no chance that will bite her in the ass! Clue: Keep an eye on the dad jokes. —Carl Rosen

Kick off your summer with some deep despair.
IFC Center, June 6.
Todd Solondz’s 1998 indie goes to more disturbing places than pretty much any other purported comedy I’ve ever watched. The IFC Center will be screening a new restoration of the film, which stars Dylan Baker, Lara Flynn Boyle, and an incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman. —A.W.

Mythological drama from a young Strauss.
Carnegie Hall, June 6.
Two years ago, conductor Leon Botstein unearthed Richard Strauss’s late-in-life, rarely performed opera Daphne. Now he reaches back to the composer’s youth to find his first stage work, a mythological drama in the manner of Wagner. Soprano Angela Meade stars in a concert performance by the American Symphony Orchestra. —J.D.

No surname needed.
Columbia Records/As Long As I’m Dancing, June 6.
Addison Rae navigates the pivot from TikTok sensation to pop star with her debut studio album, building on the momentum of a feature on Charli XCX’s “Von Dutch” remix and the delightfully retro Europop and R&B singles “Aquamarine” and “Headphones On,” both spirited plunges into disparate pockets of Madonna’s ’90s output. —C.J.

An underworld western.
Lionsgate Home Entertainment, June 17.
Back in the year 2000, Christopher McQuarrie’s directing debut, an action thriller starring Benicio del Toro and Ryan Phillippe, was mostly dismissed by critics. Now, with McQuarrie having revived the Mission: Impossible franchise, this wild and clever genre hybrid is well worth a second look, and a new 4K Steelbook release is the perfect opportunity. —Bilge Ebiri

Technical mastery with a feminist bent.
Adler Beatty, 34 East 69th Street; through June 20.
This Karachi-born New York artist was trained in Indo-Persian miniature painting. Her glowing color, fantastical creatures, and earthy voluptuaries bear witness to that tradition and break much new ground. One walk-in installation at her show, “Magical Creatures,” consists of large painted and cut-out collage in which deities float in space and turn to us, making flirtatious eye contact. They’re shown alongside a selection of illuminated manuscripts and objects from Western Europe that share an affinity with her work. —J.S.

Into the ether.
Knopf, June 17.
In a sci-fi-inflected future that’s uncomfortably close to our present, a married couple copes with the unexplained death of their son. With self-driving cars and semi-conscious digital beings, the world described by author Jayson Greene — whose 2019 memoir, Once More We Saw Stars, is about his own experience grieving a child — is both plausible and strange. —Emma Alpern

18. Watch The Buccaneers Season Two
Culture clashes in the Gilded Age.
Apple TV+, June 18.
The debut season performed a delicate balancing act with relative confidence, pulling in Edith Wharton–flavored class consciousness while also doing plenty with the soapier side of the original novel. But it ended with an unnecessarily dramatic cliffhanger. Thankfully, a second season now exists, so everyone can resume running around in Victorian ballgowns to the tune of Brandi Carlile needle drops. —K.V.A

Music
19. See Turnstile
Electrified — and electrifying — punk.
Under the K Bridge Park, June 5.
On the eve of the release of their fourth album, Never Enough, where hardcore jostles for space with disco and electronic sounds (especially in the ambitious tune “Look Out for Me”), Baltimore band Turnstile plays with Bay Area quartet Big Boy, Massachusetts dark-wave duo Boy Harsher, and flamboyant Texan punk-rap luminary Teezo Touchdown. —C.J.

TV
20. Watch Ocean With David Attenborough
This man is never going to retire.
National Geographic, June 7.
Natural historian and conservationist David Attenborough has spent basically his entire adult life begging us to care more for the world around us, and his latest documentary film goes to “our final frontier” by diving underwater. Per usual, the visuals are absolutely stunning and the effect of humanity’s consumerist culture absolutely devastating. —R.H.

Movies
21. See Dogma
The irreverent parable gets a 4K resurrection.
In theaters June 5.
For years, this send-up of religious faith was trapped in rights hell, a comedy gem languishing in the holdings of disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein. Buddy Christ finally intervened, and with his thumbs-up, Kevin Smith is rereleasing the film with the heavenly restoration it deserves. —Eric Vilas-Boas

TV
22. Watch Atsuko Okatsuka: Father
Everyone loves a bowl cut.
Hulu, June 13.
Part of the streamer’s push to become a destination for interesting comedy specials, Okatsuka’s work lives in a comfortable zone between being accessible for a large audience (in a This American Life sort of way) without feeling like it’s playing to a lowest common denominator. A solid choice for family gatherings. —K.V.A.

TV
23. Watch Hell Motel
Maybe Airbnb’s not that bad …
Shudder and AMC+, June 17.
True crime doesn’t pay in this anthology series in which ten genre fiends stay at a motel where a mass murder occurred 30 years ago. It is now renovated and open for business, and the fans and influencers have been invited to hype it up — until they start getting murdered in ways even more gruesome than the Satanic killings all those years ago. The cast is led by a campy Eric McCormack. —R.H.

Opera
24. See Zemlinskys Zimmer/Zemlinsky’s Room
Oscar Wilde by way of Vienna.
BAM Fisher, June 5 through 8.
Alexander Zemlinsky, one of the supernovas of the German-speaking music world until Hitler forced him out, gets a tribute within a tribute: a program of his vocal and chamber works interspersed with scenes from his A Florentine Tragedy, put on by the Little Opera Theatre of New York. —J.D.

Music
25. Listen to Walk This Road
Takin’ it to the streets again.
Rhino Records, June 6.
The 16th album by the Doobie Brothers sees keyboard player and singer-songwriter Michael McDonald return to the fold as a studio collaborator after rejoining in 2019 but sitting out 2021’s Liberté. The crew sounds rejuvenated on tunes like the simmering “Learn to Let Go” and the title track, a gospel-infused Mavis Staples team-up. —C.J.
