Things are getting spooky at the Alabama Theatre. Gary W. Jones, house organist for the historic Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, joins us to preview what's happening at the theatre this October. We'll talk movies, special events and what audiences can look forward to during one of the best months to visit the 99-year-old movie palace. Then Gary takes us behind the curtain with ghost stories from the Alabama Theatre and its sister venue, the Lyric Theatre, just across the street. Are there still a few longtime "patrons" hanging around after the lights go down?

"SABER" director Matthew Wiatt joins us to discuss his incredible and inspiring documentary!

Watch "Saber" at the Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, August 29, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lyric Theatre: https://sidewalk28.sched.com/event/2Qx9K/saber

Website: https://saberdoc.com/

SABER follows a passionate group of LED saber combat athletes as they train for the Saber Legion World Championships in Las Vegas. But this isn't just a story about competition or fandoms, it's about the power of shared passions to bring people together.

At its heart, SABER is a film about connection. It's about a group of people who might never have crossed paths, finding friendship, support, and a sense of belonging through the iconic lightsaber. In a world that often feels divided, SABER is a reminder that community can be found in the most unexpected places and that sometimes, the family you choose is the one that saves you.

By the power of Grayskull, He-Man is back on the big screen! We review the new Masters of the Universe movie and discuss its story, characters, action, nostalgia and whether it truly deserves to be called a "Masterpiece of the Universe." Nicholas Galitzine takes up the Sword of Power as Prince Adam/He-Man, facing Jared Leto's Skeletor alongside Teela and Man-At-Arms in director Travis Knight's live-action return to Eternia. Did this movie give longtime fans the adventure they have been waiting for, or should He-Man surrender the power?

We saw the first "Star Wars" theatrical release in almost a decade. What did we think about "The Mandalorian and Grogu?" Did Jess really disrupt the theater by squealing out loud when "the baby" was on the screen?

In this episode, we break down everything we know about "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and why it might be the most important "Star Wars" movie in years. With Jon Favreau directing and Dave Filoni shaping the bigger story, this isn't just another release. It's a major test for where the franchise goes next. We talk expectations, concerns, and whether a Disney+ story can truly carry a theatrical film. Plus, we mix in plenty of random "Star Wars" discussion, from favorite characters to where the franchise could be headed. If this movie hits, it could reset everything. If it doesn't, that says just as much.
