It's Thursday, June 5th. Here's what's happening.

🍿 The Big Picture

The Tribeca Festival is underway. This year, the festival has a great selection of music documentaries, including Billy Joel: And So It Goes. Other great music docs to catch include films about Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, Culture Club and Miley Cyrus. It's like a time warp, plus you get to return to the present after two hours! If you are at the fest, reach out and let us know your favorites.
