I would've started in the comments section but the episode post is buried under a week of reviews.
I had to mention how fantastic that story you told was. I'd been thinking all week about how tired I am with the "don't theaters suck?" pieces that seem to show up on a weekly basis and I was honestly expecting your story to be just another one of those, or at least a funny story of how you embarrassed yourself in the parking lot of a movie theater. But the turnaround was something unexpected and enlightening.
There's definitely this tendency within any artistic bubble to develop an almost unintentional close mindedness ("they don't get blank like I do!") and your story offered a sincere sense of perspective I think is much needed within the film community.
In fact, my brother called me up the day after listening to this episode and made a point of mentioning the same exact story. Great job!
