Driving his new business across the country with his young son (Emjay Anthony), while adding to the menu as he becomes inspired by America’s local cuisines, Carl reconnects with his son and remembers why he loves cooking in the first place. Watch Carl Casper break the stereotypes On Netflix.

This heartbreaking drama paints a picture of the imperfect process of learning to be a father in the face of shattering tragedy. On Amazon Prime
Pete’s Dragon
You’re never too old for a Disney film. You’d be forgiven for being wary of the company’s live-action remakes of classic animations, but they seem to have proven themselves.The original Pete’s Dragon might not be as well-known as Mulan, Peter Pan, or Lilo and Stitch; nonetheless, its 2016 remake with Bryce Dallas Howard, Robert Redford, and Karl Urban is utterly enchanting. It never set out to be innovative or the next Frozen, and that’s good, because instead, you get a feel-good, family-friendly film that’s also a surprising tearjerker. On Netflix.
