"This record, while undeniably unruly, is a masterful summation of political discontent rendered with striking breadth and precision—part punk indictment, part global dispatch. If rebellion had a barrister, it would sound precisely like this: articulate, furious, and disturbingly persuasive." - Queen’s Counsel Malcolm Morris*

The Legend Of Blind Joe Death
Feature Presentation: Sunday June 29, 2025
Jaws
1975
While trying to protect his town of Amity, a summer tourist town where beaches support the economy that only survives on those few months. Hot shot New York City cop Chief Brody (Roy Scheider), shows up and starts shouting "shark!"when a girl turns up dead. To save his constituents and without any real proof he decids to not shut everything down based on a hunch.
But hindsight’s 20/20 and more attacks happen. As the desperate Mayor brings in experts from the Oceanography Institute, Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), sends out fishermen. When all they come back with a sunken boat, a chewed-up story, and the wrong shark, the Chief pressures him into hiring an old sea kook Quint (Robert Shaw) to kill the shark. If the Mayor can keep the money flowing, and stop the panic he might still be able to save August tourism and get re-elected.
Directed by Steven Spielberg

Quadrophenia
The Who’s classic rock opera Quadrophenia was the basis for this invigorating coming-of-age movie and depiction of the defiant, drug-fueled mod subculture of early 1960s London. Our antihero is Jimmy (Phil Daniels), a teenager dissatisfied with family, work, and love. He spends his time knocking around with his clothes-obsessed, pill-popping, scooter-driving fellow mods, a group whose antipathy for the motorcycle-riding rockers leads to a climactic riot in Brighton. Director Franc Roddam’s rough-edged film is a quintessential chronicle of youthful rebellion and turmoil, with Pete Townshend’s brilliant songs (including “I’ve Had Enough,” “5:15,” and “Love Reign O’er Me”) providing emotional support, and featuring Sting and Ray Winstone in early roles.

Whammy! Chicken Blue Cheese Cave Sauce
Blue cheese dressing… It’s not just a condiment, it’s a lifestyle. Bold. Creamy. And smells faintly of notes of barnyard—but in a good way. It's a sophisticated dance between dairy and danger. One bite, and you’re transported to a secret rendezvous in the French countryside that says, ‘Welcome to flavor country.’
Drizzled it on a steak, and that steak now calls you 'Sir.' Or a a triumph of American engineering, the buffalo wing. I trust it—like a good mustache.
Stay saucy, San Diego.

Ephraim Winslow's Wickie Lobster Onion Soup
A delightfully briny concept the sweet and salty, this sea-soaked creation born of desperation, superstition, and a slow descent into madness. Caramelized onions in lobster broth topped with an onion roll and broiled cheese give a Proteus take on a classic french soup.

Argos Seafood Chowder
Rich, briny, and comforting. This combination of the fresh-caught bounty of Aegean infuses the broth with the essence of the sea, while fragrant fennel and sweet leeks dance with tender morsels of fish and shellfish. A whisper of white wine lingers beneath the surface, balanced by the warmth of cracked pepper and a touch of dill. It is the taste of peace, of a city untouched by wrath, of a last perfect meal before the gods remind mortals of the Kraken.

Old Man Marley’s Baked Mac and Cheese
Microwaveable mac and cheese? Heh... not quite the same as how my late wife used to make it. Hers bubbled in the oven —four cheeses, crust like gold. But you know... Bless those highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner in those little trays, the one you heat up in a couple minutes, and the people who sold it on sale. It ain’t bad when you're by yourself. Amen.

Okay, so these are called Peanut Butter Jelly Time Cookies. Real creative. But fine, yeah... they’re kind of amazing. Soft peanut butter cookie base—dense, rich, like the good kind of college guilt. And right in the center? A dollop of jelly—raspberry or grape, depending on whether your childhood trauma came from PBS or Cartoon Network.

Miyagi-Do Stovetop Mac and Cheese
Very simple dish. Noodles, cheese, milk. But—if make with care, with balance—become comfort, become like karate: not fancy. Too much cheese—overwhelm. Not enough—empty. Right amount? Harmony. Daniel-san, remember: even easy food can teach you something. Respect ingredients. Respect yourself. You hungry—eat. You tired—rest. You lost—make mac and cheese...
