Also this episode we take a more somber look at how the industry is coping with the onset of the Covid19 outbreak as well as how we at Penn Cinema are striving to provide a safe and comfortable experience. 

Our feelings for Emma couldn't be more earnest even if she had been the one to match us with her movie this week. When we're not raving about Emma we did into some opinions on movie going etiquette and the truth is revealed about who REALLY watches AppleTV. Plus Penn is featured on the cover of a limited edition special release of one of his favorite magazines.
