I made my first two PieFed "Event" posts, but I don't understand the times being shown.

I manually wrote in the titles the advertised times, which both use US Eastern time. The times of day for the events are 7.5 hours apart (12.00 & 19.30). But PieFed events shows the times of day as 1.5 hours apart (17.00 & 18.30).

Re times I input into PieFed event settings:

• "Disciples of the 36th Chamber": I did that with the correct time for my local time zone (America/Mexico), 11.00. It shows up for me as 17.00 GMT -6 . (17.00 is the event time in UTC . My UTC offset is -6.)
• "First Blood": I decided to try America/New York 19.30. It shows up for me as 18.30 GMT-6 . (18.30 is the event time in my local time zone . My UTC offset is -6.)

1. Why does PieFed show time for one event in UTC, but time for the other in my local time?
2. Is there a way to make clear what time zone (UTC, local, other) is actually being shown?

Synopsis

Fong Sai Yuk's uninhibited arrogance toward a Manchu lord forces him to seek refuge in a Shaolin temple. Although well trained in the martial arts, he is no match for Master San Te, the creator of the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Exhausted by his frequent defeats, Fong leaves and crosses paths with a governor, who rewards him with a yellow robe granting immunity from any Manchu. But what are the governor's true intentions? Will Fong feed his foolish ego and betray the Shaolin Temple?

Action in Asian cinema has definitely lost to horror in terms of popularity, with the entries in the category this year in particular having shrunk significantly, and the quality deteriorating significantly. Thankfully, however, Sidharta Tata cama up with “Ikatan Darah” a film that can finally be mentioned along “The Raid”, essentially saving the whole category. Japan is continuing with the “Baby Assassins” recipe while Korea will milk Ma Dong-seok as much as possible in the category. Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan are here once more, the latter with one of his best films lately, concluding the highlights of the category.

Creator @ewhac@mastodon.social: ""I had this idea a while back when I saw another mashup between Buck Rogers in The 25th Century and Star Trek: Discovery. It was only in the last couple months that I had the time (and energy) to put it together. And yes, I did the voice."

• I believe the SB channel removes uploads after a period of time, so watch it while you can!

Movie Info

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1977) (少林三十六房), directed by Liu Chia-liang (劉家良), is a legendary martial arts film that follows the journey of Liu Yu-te (Gordon Liu Chia-hui), a young man driven by the need to avenge the death of his family at the hands of the Manchu oppressors. Liu, a former student of the anti-Qing patriot Ho Kuang-han, is forced to flee after his teacher and many students are killed in an attack orchestrated by the Ching authorities. Seeking vengeance and strength, Liu travels to the Shaolin Temple where he begins his arduous training in the famed 35 chambers.

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin received critical acclaim and is widely considered to be one of the greatest kung fu films ever made and a highly influential entry in the genre.

EDIT: Apparently it was uploaded 8 months ago, not sure why my Subscriptions showed it to me today.
And I think what happens with the SB channel might be that after a while, films are moved to the "Golden Vault", i.e. require paid subscription.
