The time between Christmas and New Years – what to do, what to do? Well, Chris Narloch says you should go see a movie! He also highlights four new films, including one that stars Zac Efron as a fighter, another is the musical remake of “The Color Purple,” and two more to check. Read what he has to say about them on page 18.

Since this is our last publication of 2023, we asked the very talented Matthew Burlingame to leaf through this year’s worth of Outwords and pluck out some highlights. Even though it is in somewhat of a list, there is almost a full page of events, news, entertainment and more. See page 6.

In this issue we highlight Los Cabo’s art scene, with words and photographs by Chris Allan, some information about the upcoming Dine Downtown, including a list the participating restaurants (so far), fun pics from the Rainbow Chamber’s Holiday party. And we have a book review of a very interesting person…

Arts editor, Chris Narloch, returns with “What’s New on Netflix,” “An Evening with Charles Blow” and “Two Dynamite Queer Dramas.” And Matthew also returns to take us to the finish line with his fun and informative “Out & About.”

You know you will find even more, and you know how to be in the know, either pick up a printed copy or click through online to read the issue from cover to cover.

We will be back in 2024 on January 11 with our Health and Body issue, so until then, stay safe, have fun and let’s all keep spreading love and cheer, even after the Holidays! Happy New Year from all of us here at Outword!
