Mr. Holland's Opus

I fell in love with movies through Star Wars—but it was George Bailey, Glenn Holland, and Jefferson Smith who showed me their soul. Now, I’m opening The Concession Stand, where friends and fellow film lovers join me to talk about the movies that matter. Each episode, we either convince each other—or you—to give a film its due. So grab some popcorn, pour a fizzy drink, and settle in as we celebrate the power of cinema—one story at a time.
