Here they are -- your five best bets for a good time out on the town this weekend.

"The Joe and Jan Show" @ 335 Commons It's no secret Governor Jan Brewer and Sheriff Joe Arpaio deal in antics.

The duo has done more than inspire headlines, though, as 11 artists, including Jeff Falk, Annie Lopez, and Peter Bugg, used the pair as inspiration for works in the exhibition "The Joe and Jan Show." With drawings, paintings, and sculpture, the show looks at the politically polarizing twosome through a critical lens.

Catch the free exhibition, curated by New Times contributor Robrt Pela, at 335 Commons before it closes Friday at 6 p.m.

Giants vs. Reds After Party @ Spanish Fly There you have it. Pool party season is here. Take a dip Saturday when Spanish Fly hosts a post-baseball bash Saturday from 1 to 10 p.m. Dig into drink specials, taco deals, and live music entertainment. There's no cover.

Iconica Game Night @ Samurai Comics Samurai Comics welcomes Iconica players for an evening of gaming Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. The strategic card game takes place in Eric Torres' imagined World of Rynaga and features fantastical characters. Players of all levels are invited, as the event includes a demo of play for newbs. Rendez-vous with French Cinema @ FilmBar Throughout March FilmBar hosts screenings of contemporary French flicks picked from the annual festival, Rendez-vous with French Cinema. Saturday features Alice Winocour's Augustine, a tale of hysteria and hypnosis, at 2 and 8:30 p.m., while Sunday brings breakup drama Persecution, starring Romain Duris and Charlotte Gainsbourg, at the same times.
