    1. Sun Sep 8 – ECHO IN THE CANYON - 1 hr 22 min – PG13. “Echo In The Canyon” celebrates the explosion of popular music that came out of LA's Laurel Canyon in the mid-60s as folk went electric and The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas and the Papas gave birth to the California Sound. Featuring Jakob Dylan, the film explores the beginnings of the Laurel Canyon music scene. Dylan uncovers never-before-heard personal details behind the bands and their songs. Echo in the Canyon contains candid conversations and performances with Brian Wilson, Ringo Starr, Michelle Phillips, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Roger McGuinn and Jackson Browne as well as contemporary musicians they influenced such as Tom Petty (in his very last film interview), Beck, Fiona Apple, Cat Power, Regina Spektor and Norah Jones. 2. Sun Sep 15 – FIDDLER: A MIRACLE OF MIRACLES – 1 hr 32 min – PG-13. When "Fiddler on the Roof" opened on Broadway in 1964, it explored themes of tradition, religion, and anti-Semitism against a modern backdrop of radical social change that addressed gender roles, sexuality, and race. Rare archival footage and interviews with musical luminaries, such as Lin-Manuel Miranda, Joel Grey, Topol, and Fran Lebowitz, explore the legacy of this long- running, award-winning musical. “Exposes the behind-the-scenes drama and on-stage magic of 'Fiddler on the Roof,' a musical and cultural landmark whose influence spans nations, races, religions and generations.” –Peter Travers, Rolling Stone 3.

Milo Catuogno , Reporter October 13, Smash Bros. Steve for Smash Bros. Several of paperkitties predictions proved to be a reality on October 3. Despite this, the community was still taken by surprise when faced with Steve for Smash. The community had largely believed the new fighter would be Crash from Crash Bandicoot. They filmed and live-streamed their reactions to the reveal on October 1. Successful Smash Bros. He even describes his theory of a consistent zero-to-death combo that Steve could do against any fighter. But not only will Steve be an optimal and viable character. Minecraft is the single best selling video game in the entire world, selling hundreds of millions of copies worldwide. Such a legendary title in the gaming community being coupled with the Smash Bros. Steve adds several fighting mechanics that have rarely or never before been seen, like his block placing and weapon crafting mechanics. His jab attack also has similar mechanics to only one other fighter: Mega Man. This character will obviously require lots of labbing, meaning the extensive practice and observation of combos, recovery, and mixups.
