Farace here. Dallas, Houston, Austin — Ella McCay is rolling through Texas, and honestly, watching an idealistic young woman try to juggle family, work, and the lovable disasters in her life might be the most relatable thing any of you see all year. In Dallas she’d be balancing family drama and Cowboys delusion; in Houston she’d be battling humidity and traffic that appears to be a social experiment; and in Austin she’d be dodging tech bros insisting they “don’t really watch TV.” Emma Mackey leads a stacked cast — Jamie Lee Curtis, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Woody Harrelson, Rebecca Hall — under James L. Brooks, which means real jokes, real heart, and no one bursting into a 45-minute monologue about brisket. Advance screenings hit 12/10 at 7pm — while supplies last. Grab your pass before someone trades it for a Whataburger order, a boot-shaped shot glass, or a promise that “this is finally the Cowboys’ year.”
