THEATER: The audiophiles who make up Radiotheatre are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first King Kong film by reviving their aural homage on Tuesday nights in June. Using contemporary technology to create a lavish sound design that, er, apes the old-timey radio aesthetic, the show is a lush treat for the ears, though not so much for the eyes. But who wants to look at that hairy beast anyway? Tonight you can close your eyes and forget all about Peter Jackson. – John Del Signore

If "butter" flavored popcorn and Sour Patch Kids aren’t your ideal movie snack food, then you'll probably find the New York City Food Film Festival much more palatable. Starting Saturday at Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City, Queens, the festival will pair 18 movies with relevant munchies under the night sky. George Motz, who started the festival last year with chef Harry Hawk, says he wanted to create “a cinematic scratch 'n sniff where you can not only watch a food film but eat the food being shown in that film.” Which explains why Sweeney Todd isn't being screened.
