How Could You?!

Down a road in Lehighton, PA you can find a marquee boasting 35 mm retro films played at a Drive In. Make the turn and you enter a world of pure cinematic imagination where a community of impassioned and energetic movie obsessives are waiting to greet you. This place is the destination for film fans: The Mahoning Drive in Theater. Join us as we talk to the Willy Wonka behind it all, Virgil Cardamone as we cover the origin story of the Mahoning, the twists and turns along the way, Kevin Smith, and of course why we love movies so much.

I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want, I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna really talk about the madcap Spice World. In a hyperreality version of these English popstars we find Baby, Scary, Posh, Ginger and Sporty agonizing over their first live performance. Aliens touch down, Victoria Beckham drives a bus, and a dance bootcamp breakdown occurs. This movie capitalized on the Spice Girls phenomenon which begs the question to our audience, how could you not feel nostalgic about Spice World?!

"Stick to the basics, stick to the basics." And stick with us as we kick off football season with the 1999 teen comedy, Varsity Blues. Set in the dusty West Canaan we join Mox, Lance, Tweeder, Billy Bob, and Wendell as they navigate the religion of football in a small Texas town and the misadventures of youth. Along the way we take a trip to the Landing Strip, learn about the physics of a whip cream bikini, and how to steal a cop car with no consequences. 

What's our how "could you?!" you will have to tune in to see how we tackle a football movie that closes out the 90s and highlights the rock perfection of "My Hero."

"He loves us...the man absolutely loves us." And to be honest we love Bernie. Sure he's tied to the mob, and definitely tries to have two hapless employees murdered to cover up his own deceitful fraud, but you can't argue with that mustache excellence. Join us as we say farewell to summer with the best (and maybe only) Labor Day movie, Weekend at Bernie's. It is the credit of uninhibited pitch meetings that this movie gets made, and a credit to Ryan that Lauren has filled this desperate gap in her film knowledge. But did she find the Monopoly puppetry hilarious? Tune in to find out.

Friday night at the Copa is for girlfriends, but every other day is for listening to podcasts about movies! Welcome to season 5 and we are starting off with a bang and a bada bing. Join us as we fill Ryan's massive mafia gap, Goodfellas. We talk everything Scorsese and 1990. We muse about Jimmy the Gent's morality, Henry's disloyalty, and Tommy's relatability. Ultimate though we ask, How could you have never seen Goodfellas?

“This week we are four people who met at a movie theater…” Join us for our first ever interview episode where we sit down with local filmmakers Andrew MacDonald and Jesse Kalavoda. Andrew and Jesse have a past that goes back as far as Teddy Ruxpin and runs as deep as the love they both have for telling stories. In this candid discussion of filmmaking we cover it all from the struggles of independent productions, the balance of family life, and the process of making their art from initial concept to the premiere.

A huge thank you to Andrew and Jesse  for sitting down and sharing their love of film and creating together. Follow the progress of their projects at Jarden Films: https://www.facebook.com/JardenFilms

"Baseball, Ray." And ugly cries, Terance. In cinematic history this movie is noted for being a baseball flick, a dad movie, a family drama. It is all of that and more and we discover in that magical Iowan corn what makes this movie so special. In that tiny little piece of heaven called Iowa this special film started and has grown to become a classic. Discussing Americana, baseball, and the indomitable charm of Kevin Costner makes it easy to sit down and reminisce about Field of Dreams. And in perhaps one of more emotional episodes we ask, how could you not cry at the end of Field of Dreams? 

"You know how sometimes things line up..." like how a masterful comedian becomes a hit horror director. Jordan Peele is the subject of this week's episode, and specifically his film Us. The cultural phenomenon of Get Out cannot be denied or undersold. The movie weaves together terror, humor, and social commentary better than any films of this century. But then comes along a tale of doubles, duality, the unseen, the forgotten. Join us as we discuss the genius of Jordan Peele, the myth of the "sophomore slump", and the beautiful and ambiguous terror of Us.
