After years of hearing that movie theatres were dying, Richard Crouse and Sarah Hanlon ask whether the big screen is having a real comeback... and what that means for Canadian cinema.
This week on Entertainment Is Broken, Richard and Sarah talk about younger audiences returning to theatres, the magic of indie cinemas, and why watching a film with strangers still hits differently than streaming it alone on the couch.
They also dig into the growing momentum behind Canadian films like Little Lorraine, Blue Heron, Nirvanna: The Band, The Show, The Movie, Undertone, and more... plus the importance of community theatres like The Revue, The Fox, The Plaza, and other independent spaces across the country.
Also discussed:
Canadian horror, Ginger Snaps, Black Christmas, post-pandemic moviegoing, theatre as a third space, and why some films simply need an audience.
Because maybe theatres aren’t dead after all. Maybe they were just waiting for us to remember why we loved them.
