How can I solve an EF Core error querying SQLite?

I just got my .Net 9 Maui app working with EF Core and SQLite. I have one row of data in the database that looks like this:

I have a simple query that runs when the app loads. The repository method is this

 public void GetMoviesAsync()
   {
       try
       {
           using (var movieContext = new MovieContext())
           {
               var movies = movieContext.Movies
                   .AsNoTracking()
                    .ToList<Movie>();

               //return movies ?? new List<Movie>();
           }
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           throw new Exception(ex.Message);
       }
   }

When the EF query runs, it throws an error: 'N' is an invalid start of a value. LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 0. which is being thrown from

Exception thrown: 'System.Text.Json.JsonReaderException' in System.Text.Json.dll
Exception thrown: 'System.Text.Json.JsonReaderException' in Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational.dll

I can only assume that the SQLite response comes back to EF as JSON? I can't figure out what that bad character "N" is.

I also tried running it as raw sql movieContext.Database.ExecuteSqlRaw("Select * From Movies"); which returned a -1, so no rows returned.

Here is the Movie class:

  public class Movie
    {
        [Key]
        public int MovieId { get; set; }

        [Required]
        public string Title { get; set; }

        public DateOnly ReleaseDate { get; set; }
        public string Genre { get; set; }
        public string[] Tags { get; set; }
        public string MovieLocation { get; set; }
        public string ImageLocation { get; set; }

        public int GroupId { get; set; }
    }

And the data context

   public class MovieContext : DbContext
   {

       public DbSet<Movie> Movies { get; set; }
       public DbSet<Group> Groups { get; set; }

       public MovieContext()
       {
           SQLitePCL.Batteries_V2.Init();
           this.Database.EnsureCreated();
       }

       protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder) =>
           optionsBuilder.UseSqlite("Data Source = D:\\Repos\\MovieManager\\MovieManager.db3");

   }
