‘Only In Theaters’ Podcast Explores The Movie Theaters Around The World That Made History
The coronavirus pandemic hit movie theaters across the country hard, not only forcing the closure of some smaller, arthouse theaters but also the downsizing of larger chains. And with many new films coming out simultaneously in theaters and on-demand or going to on-demand shortly after releasing on the big screen, questions remain about the future of American moviegoing and the film halls where people go to see them. The Mubi Podcast takes on some of these questions in its second season, “Only In Theaters,” which is available now wherever you get your podcasts. Host Rico Gagliano takes listeners to movie palaces around the world that have made both film history, and in some cases even global history.
Today on AirTalk, “The Mubi Podcast” Host Rico Gagliano is with us to talk about the new season of the show and share stories of the theaters he visited during the making of the show and the people he met on his travels. Plus, we hear from listeners about their favorite movie theaters.

KPCC’s John Horn spoke this week with Newsom about her new documentary — and how the chores are divided in her own home.
