James Beard: America's First Foodi    (Documentary)    August 10

Explore the life of the man who helped define how America eats. Long before farm-to-table became a trend, the renowned chef championed local ingredients, bold flavors and the Pacific Northwest’s fresh bounty. Dubbed the “Dean of American Cookery” by The New York Times, he reshaped the nation’s palate. 

Through conversations with influential voices in food, this documentary reveals Beard’s lasting impact, including introducing Julia Child to New York. Told in menu-inspired chapters, the film looks at Beard’s deep bond with his mother, his love of markets, his courage to live openly as a gay man, and his enduring devotion to flavor, friendship and community.

                   2017       Runtime: 60 Minutes

               

Among Neighbors                 (Documentary)                    August 14

Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, "Among Neighbors" examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash ("Crime After Crime," Sundance Film Festival).

               2024        Runtime: 101 Minutes

Thanks for the Instructions @OneDayMatisyahu

One question before I look into installing the App.  Are the dates and times 'Cast in Stone' like broadcast T.V.?  Or are they flexible like Streaming Services...i.e. Once it is made available it remains available for some time before it gets aged off?

 

...Nevermind...Read the FAQ:

10.  I can't make it at the scheduled date and time, can I watch later? No. The movie is only available at the scheduled date and time, it is not available on demand.

Not sure why, but this post is titled, 'Re: Watch - Pretty Woman - Film - March 23,' not 'Everything Everywhere All at Once- May 19' (saw this in the theater, and it's FANTASTIC!).' 🤔

 

Anyway, just letting you know. 🙂
