  Speaker 1: Went a six point seven light. If I'm good morning,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: it's Kubbe Christine, producer Kristen and our dear friend fresh
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: off of Red Eye from La Harry Medved of the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Cinema Foundation. It's so good to see you in personal.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: D to see you Welleso Covey.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all things movies in his head. I mean he's
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: a rolodex of movies.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I mean he sees all the new ones. He knows
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: about every single old movie. And I'll say to a
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: lot about movie theaters. And that's why I work for
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: the Cinema Foundation. And that's why I'm so happy to
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: be here. Because one of the reasons I came to town
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: is in New Jersey, in Cranford, there's a one hundred
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: year old theater called the Cranford Theater, and they just
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: celebrated their reopening last night. It's unbelievable. I love to
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: see family run movie theaters like this one.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: So woman who basically a single handle they running. Her
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: name is Doreen Sayeg. Her father was a projectionist back
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: in Jerusalem, back in the old days, and the family
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: just loves running movie theaters and so she has kind
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: of helped revive this theater that was kind of falling apart,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: and it's almost like the movie is Wonderful Life. They
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: went through a really tough time earlier this year. They
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: needed some repair, and the whole community is just banded together.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: The downtown Cranford area. It's really such a charming little town.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: It's like main Street Middle America, you know what I mean, Like, no,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: it's gourgeous. They really it's all red and black, these cushy,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: you know, live back. Also kind of retro feeling too. No,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: actually it's very modern inside. On the outside it's very retro.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: They had a Ghostbusters car parked outside last night, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: it's just it's so much fun what they do there
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: for the community. They have like a whole Christmas dinner
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: and a movie kind of thing where they're going to
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: show It's a Wonderful Life, where you get to go
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: to the Garlic Rose beast Row next door and then
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: you get the movie there. Or they do a Polar
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Express like reading where they have the Cranford Bookstore coming there.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: They'll read a little bit of the Polar Express and.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Then they show the movie.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: So what I love about it is that a lot
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: of these movie theaters, especially the independent ones, are community anchors,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: and so it really affects all the local merchants. Someone's
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: going to go see a movie at the Cranford Theater
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: and then they'll go to the little you know, bar,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: thet round or whatever and hang out afterwards and be
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: able'll come back to downfound Granford. So I think these
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: movie theaters are really community cornerstones, and I'm excited about it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was wonderful to see last night. Was packed.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Wonderful last night.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Actually they showed the ultimate Christmas movie, die Hard, So
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: here we go. Here's the debate. Well, I guess Cranford
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Feels is a Christmas movie. Every year we talked about
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: and introduced it and said, ye, Cranford, what do you
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: think family audience, Harry, Oh, what are you kidding? That's
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: a Christmas movie just because it took place around Christmas
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: time and it's got Christmas themes.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It's all about redemption. John McClain's got to redeem himself.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It's wonderful.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: But by the way, speaking of Christmas movies, obviously, Wicked
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: for Good is still doing incredibly well. They're actually at
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the Cranford they're gonna have a talk back with some
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: of the Broadway stars. You probably know these people, Christine Nay,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Kevin Kern. I mean they STI are actually showing up
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: at the theater from the Broadway production and they'll find
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: And actually, speaking of Broadway, this weekend, you've got Merrily
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: We Roll Along. The Daniel Radcliffe Jonathan Off production is
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: a film production, so Fathom Entertainment is bringing that back
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: to theaters.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And that was so great. I saw them on Broadway.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's such a great show.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: It's just a beautiful, beautiful show, such a great ensemble cast.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: So people are actually buying quite a bit of tickets
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to go see that this week it Yeah, and then
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Wedding Crashers, the twentieth anniversary. I can't believe it's been
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: twenty years. Weddings It's back tonight in movie theaters. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: then on December eleventh, that's coming back. I was lucky
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: enough to talk to Jane Seymour earlier this week and
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: she said how that film just suddenly began a whole
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: new career for it was a comedian, so that's fine.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: And then this Utopia two is still killing it this
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: weekend is getting great reviews. Everybody loves it. I'll take
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: a film that I actually really enjoyed. It is called Eternity,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: which is a romantic comedy about the afterlife. It is
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a wonderful, wonderful film with Elizabeth Olsen who has to
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: decide between her first husband and her second husband. She's dead.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: In the movie, she has to figure out which one
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: and which eternity she wants to spend. Yeah, is it
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Miles Keller or Colum Turner. So it's a tough choice.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: You have to see the movie to plan.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Out who she pay that too.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: That's funny that they made a movie about that. I've
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: wondered about after if you've had a couple of spouses,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: who do you go.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: To what goes on?
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: You gotta go to the movie theater to see it. Yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: it's actually doing quite well with adult thought. Eternity is
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: from A twenty four. They've also got a movie called
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Marty Supreme with Timmothy Chalomey which is coming out soon.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that when he's amazing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: He will probably get a Best Actor in nomination. And then,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: speaking of the Oscars that I told you this before,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: watch out for Hamnet, which is in theaters right now.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Jesse Buckley. I think clear the decks. She's winning Best Actress.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: She is just terrific. This is a film about the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: power of theater, about the power of stories to move us,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: to change us. She plays the wife of William Shakespeare,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: and she's just heartbreaking in the movie.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: A last thought, I'm sorry, coming on the OSCARS, you're probably.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Gonna say the same thing I am. Are you go ahead? Oscars? Yeah?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I'm going towards Wicked because we didn't
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on Wicked for good. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: saw it in the theaters, which you think. I really
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: loved it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. You have to see it
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: on the big screen.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I think so too. But do you Cynthia Rivo and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Ariana Grande, you think we're seeing Oscar nominations on the way.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I think maybe Aririanic Grande. I don't know about Cynthia Revo.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I think this is more Ariana's movie, isn't it. This
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: The first one was Cynthia's movie. This one's you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: you develop.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: A little bit more character her character. Yeah, but I
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: don't know. I think I hope production design.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I mean that film is a Nathan Crowley, the guy
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: who just created this whole world for Wicked. For Good
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: is brilliant. You have to see it on the big screen.
