One Spoon of Chocolate

He has nowhere to go. They have nowhere to hide.

The RZA is back with a vengeance to bring us his latest action-thriller One Spoon of Chocolate, presented by Quentin Tarantino!

After serving his country in the Army, Unique is falsely accused of assault and sent to prison. Once released, Unique sets up shop in Ohio to restart his life, linking up with his only surviving relative, Ramsey. There’s something insidious happening in this town, though, as its racist sheriff and his crew of similarly bigoted acolytes all have a knack for violence and share a gruesome secret pertaining to a recent string of missing young Black men. When they set their sights on Unique and turn his life upside down, the former soldier has no choice but to bring the ruckus down on the sheriff and his goons.

Eyes Without a Face

Eyes Without a Face, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is our first Volunteer of the Month pick for May 2026, courtesy of Kim!

Mixing ghastly thrills and the lyrical attempts at emotionality, Eyes Without A Face has been haunting (and oddly charming) audiences for the past 65 years. Like the tagline says…it’s a horror film with a heart of mystery. Come check it out on the big screen!
