AirTalk’s FilmWeek Screening: “The Big Lebowski”

Grab your bowling ball and a White Russian and join us for a special FilmWeek screening of “The Big Lebowski.” Come watch Joel and Ethan Coen's 1998 L.A. crime comedy on the big screen with a few hundred other fans. We’ll be screening the film at the Gardena Cinema , a family-owned nonprofit independent theater that has been continually showing movies since 1946. While the film received mixed reviews when it premiered, it has since become a cult classic. In 2014, it was designated as a "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” film and added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. After the screening, AirTalk host Larry Mantle will talk with special guests about the impact and lasting legacy of the film.

And come dressed in your Lebowski best for a chance to win our costume contest!
