How are we formatting the .env. I propose REACT_APP_API_KEY or REACT_APP_MOVIE_API and to confirm, we're placing it at root, right?

According to the SearchBar.js file, we're accessing our API key via this.apiKey = process.env.REACT_APP_API. So your .env file should contain REACT_APP_API="<api_key>" such that <api_key> is where you will put your actual TMDb API key.
