In the first episode of Cinema Lives!, I dive into the films I’ve been seeing in and around Seattle, from new releases lighting up local screens to older titles that still demand to be experienced in a theater. Featured in this episode is a review of Harry Lighton’s Pillion, a new film from A24 that I really enjoyed.

Along the way, I talk about the theaters, the atmosphere, and why going to the movies still matters, especially in a city like Seattle, where repertory screenings and new releases coexist in interesting ways.

If you love movies, theatrical experiences, and thoughtful (but honest) takes, you’re in the right place!
